WHATISTRANSLATION?

A written communication in a second language having the

same meaning as the written communication in a first

language (Princeton edu)

Translationis an activity comprising the interpretationof

the meaning of a text in one language, thesource text (ST-

SL) and the production, in another language, of a new,

equivalent text the target text, or translation (TT-TL).

Skills needed in translation

In popular belief, to translate, a person only needs:

Reasonable knowledge of a foreign language

And a few good dictionaries

For some, translating is an intuitive process that is based on the

translators creative capability.

On the opposite extreme, there are those who believe that only

specialists like lawyers or scientists can translate.

Those who make these assertions fail to make a distinction

between factual knowledge and procedural knowledge.


9/31

Distinguishing Factual Knowledge and Procedural Knowledge

Factual knowledgeis the knowledge of special fields

Special terminology

Resources available

Foreign languages

Factual knowledge is essential but not enough. Translators also need

procedural knowledge.

Procedural knowledgerelates to some kind of method or procedure tohelp the translator in seizing the meaning of the ST and re-expressing that

meaning in the TT.


10/31

Procedural Knowledge: Options for translation

Basically, a translator has two options for translating:

1. Direct or literaltranslation

1. Obliquetranslation

There are several translation techniques available under each option.


11/31

Direct translation

Possible because of parallel categories

1. Structural parallelism grammatical categories

I s that your gir lf r iend? es esa tu novia?

I have left my book on the table He dejado mi l ibro sobre la mesa

2. Meta-linguistic parallelism parallel concepts

The book el l ibroThe judge el juez

Oblique translation

Compare:

He swam across the river Cruz el ro a nado

They begged you not to bother them again Rogaban que no volvierasa molestarlos

He kicked the door shut lcerr la puerta de una patada

Hesextr emely intell igent No tiene nada de tonto

Early last year A pr incipios del ao pasado

Both English and spanish have the corresponding elements

But the structure of the statement is different in the two languages. A

direct translation is no longer possible. The translator needs to use oblique

translation techniques.


14/31

1. Borrowing

It is used to overcome a gap or lacuna (a new technical process, a new concept)

chic, sandwich, dj vu, margaritas, tortillas, pisco sour, sushi, empanadas,spaghetti.

2. Calque

Calques are special kind of borrowing where a language borrows a word or an

expression from another language and translates literally each of its elements.

Ftbol, stand, net, chat, desktop, software, penalty, mouse, mall, shopping

DIRECT TRANSLATION TECHNIQUES

3. Literal translation

The girl is sick la nia est enferma

Good morning buen dia


15/31

1. Transposition

Operates at the grammatical level

Consists of the replacement of a word class by another word class

without changing the meaning

Adverb verb

Werein Chile, obviously Es obvio que estamos en Chile

Adverb noun

Early last year A principios del ao pasado

Adverb adjective

To clarify as fully as posible Para indicar con lamxima claridad

Verb adverb

It kept raining during our holidays Llova de continuo durante las

vacaciones

OBLIQUE TRANSLATION TECHNIQUES


16/31

2. Modulation

It is used when the other techniques would generate a text that is grammatically

correct, but unsuitable, not idiomatic, or awkward.

1. Abstract Concrete or General :

Sit by the fire: "Sentarse junto a la chimenea".

2. Cause effect :Yourequite a stranger: No se te conoce por ac

3. A part another part :

From cover to cover: Desde la primera hasta la ltima pgina

4. Term reversal :

Health insurance:Seguro de salud

3 i


17/31

3. Equivalence

Used to render expressions using different stylistic and structural

methods.

Most equivalences are fixed, and include idioms, clichs, proverbs,

nominal or adjectival phrases, onomatopoeia, etc.

To call a spade a spade Al pan, pan y al vino, vino

Like father, like son De tal palo, tal astilla

4. Adaptation

Used when the limit to translation is been reached, i.e. when a simple

translation would not work or it would produce a result that is shocking

in the target language and culture.

Titles of books, movies, and characters often fit into this category

CloverfieldMonstruoso

Jaws Tiburn


18/31

Translators Role

An excellent translation reads like a piece

originally written in the target language, sentence

structure, linkages and discourse, are entirelyappropriate to the target language. U.K.

Linguistics Association


19/31

A GOOD TRANSLATOR IS

Curious

Independent, creative A good researcher

Self-motivated

A strong writer

A person who knows about different topics

Thinks about context first then about meaning


20/31

It is a translation orally for parties conversing in different

languages. (Merriam-Websters dictionary)

It sounds easy, isnt it?

But Interpretation is harder than that, interpretation is

about culture, talking, hearing, about meanings and quick

decisions.

sitting in a sound-proof

booth, speaks into a

clearly seeing and

hearing speaker via

earphones.

speech is dividedinto segments,

and the interpreter

sits or stands

beside speaker,

listening

and takes notes.

Whispered

Its like whispering

simultaneous, the

interpreter sits or

stands next to theperson or people

requiring

interpretation

(maximum of two

people )


23/31

Relay Liaison

Relay interpreting is usually used when

there are several target languages. A

source-language interpreter interprets the

text to a language common to every

interpreter, who then render the message

to their respective target languages. For

example, a Chinese message first is

rendered to English to a group of

interpreters, who listen to the English and

render the message into Greek.

Liaison interpreting

involves relaying what

is spoken to one,

between two, or among

many people. This canbe done after a short

speech, or

consecutively,

sentence-by-sentence,

or (whispering).
