| What is Translation |
|
| Many people believe that translation is an easy job and all you
have to do is to change words from the source text into the equivalent
words of a target text. However, this is not true since some phrases,
if translated literally, would make no sense. Translation is a very
complicated process which has to consider many factors like the genre
and the style of the original text, the translator's competence, the
timeline allocated to the project and many more. As a rule, there is
no need to react instantly - you can take your time, think, choose a
better variant, use a dictionary, consult a specialist, etc. Like any
other translation it should convey the meaning and the music of the
source language. Also, you need to be very accurate with the language
and give proper weightage to stylistic features. |
