Translation theory

TRANSLATION

As discussed in the first section, translation involves more than a word -

for - word version of a text in another language. As well as problems of

word meaning, word order, sentences structure and style across

cultures, there is the problem of understanding the varied subject areas

involved in the messages to be translated.

“A good way to close this knowledge gap is to study the specific

meaning of a word within a given context. The purpose of our classes in

terminology is learning ways by which we can improve our supply of

terms by establishing word systems according to alphabetical order,

idea order, and idiomatic usage.”

Students are discouraged from translating too literally; the key is to

translate approximately, while conveying the meaning in the originating

culture’s terms. A study of advertisements affords good practice in

becoming aware of the cultural aspects. As well as conveying the

meanin

g in the originating culture’s terms the translator / interpreter

must also be aware of the culture of the audience.
