Translation of Literary Style Literary translation is to reproduce the original artistic images in another language, so that the reader of the translation may be inspired, moved and aesthetically entertained in the same way as the native reader is by the original. Then he starts translating it sentence by sentence and paragraph by paragraph from beginning to the end, with the reproduction of the original style kept in mind. It is because translation is not only a science, a science with its own peculiar laws and methods, but also an art—an art of reproduction and re-creation. www.accurapid.com /journal/23style.htm   (1358 words)

Machiavelli, Niccolo: Art of War Machiavelli scholar Christopher Lynch offers a sensitive and entirely new translation of the Art of War, faithful to the original but rendered in modern, idiomatic English. Lynch's fluid translation helps readers appreciate anew Machiavelli's brilliant treatments of the relationships between war and politics, civilians and the military, and technology and tactics. Niccolò Machiavelli's Art of War is one of the world's great classics of military and political theory. www.press.uchicago.edu /cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/15655.ctl   (1044 words)

Machiavelli, Art of War, excerpt "Christopher Lynch's new translation of Machiavelli's Art of War is a much-needed corrective to existing translations and to the less than rigorous analysis of this historically important text by previous commentators. "Christopher Lynch has made the best and the first careful translation of Machiavelli's Art of War. In the armies, and among every ten men, there must be one of more life, of more heart, or at least of more authority, who with his spirit, with his words, and with his example keeps the others firm and disposed to fight. www.press.uchicago.edu /Misc/Chicago/500403.html   (1044 words)

Amazon.com: The Tao of War: Books: Wang Chen,Ralph D. Sawyer,Mei-Chun Lee Sawyer Sawyer's translation of the Art of War is ostensibly geared toward the business-politics world, and the Tao of War masquerades as a perfect complement to Sawyer's previous successful translation. The original author Wang Chen was a 9th-century Chinese military commander sickened by carnage and began using the ancient Tao Te Ching for peaceful purposes: his interpretations produced the first reading of it as a martial text of strategy, and Ralph Sawyer's in-depth interpretations go far in placing its military importance in modern Western hands. If you enjoyed the applicability of Sawyer's Art of War and are looking for something along the same lines, well, you won't find it here, and I recommend you to look elsewhere. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0813340810?v=glance   (2194 words)

Translation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If the translation of non-literary works is regarded as a skill, the translation of fiction and poetry is much more of an art. Translation of sung texts is generally much more restrictive than translation of poetry, because in the former there is little or no freedom to choose between a versified translation and a translation that dispenses with verse structure. Cultural translation is a concept used in cultural studies to denote the process of transformation, linguistic or otherwise, in a given culture. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Translation   (4019 words)

Fine art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term was first attested in 1767, as a translation from the French term beaux arts and designates a limited number of visual art forms, including painting, sculpture, and printmaking. That fine art is seen as being distinct from applied arts is largely the result of an issue raised in Britain by the conflict between the followers of the Arts and Crafts Movement, including William Morris, and the early modernists, including Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group. The more recent term "visual art" is widely considered to be a more inclusive and descriptive phrase for today's variety of current art practices, and for the multitude of mediums in which high art is now more widely recognized to occur. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fine_art   (408 words)

Tate Glossary Degenerate art Degenerate art is the English translation of the German phrase Entartete Kunst. Some of the Degenerate art was sold at auction in Switzerland in 1939 and more was disposed of through private dealers. In 1937, German museums were purged of modern art by the government, a total of some 15,550 works being removed. www.tate.org.uk /collections/glossary/definition.jsp?entryId=84   (192 words)

"Translation Memory" - Global, Free Repository? article in The Economist regarding machine translation, I began to see that there might be some potential for open collaboration in the field of what is known as "Translation Memory", or, in other words, the use of already translated phrases to translate new, and slightly different phrases. I haven't done professional translations for a couple of years, and I never did anything that expensive or high-level, so I don't know what the state of the art is, even in the free software world. The principal beneficiaries of the wave of funding that came in was Chomsky and his followers, since their approach to language emphasises the syntax of language above its phonology, semantics and pragmatics, and the success of the above approach to MT depends upon translation being reducible to a problem of syntax. www.advogato.org /article/450.html   (492 words)

Waggish: Machine Translation This case is somewhat undermined by the fact that two of the three Proust translations that Mason mentions (the new one and the Moncrieff/Kilmartin/Enright) are strikingly similar, and the third is not very good at all. You'd rely on the translator's appreciation for the nuances of the original language, appreciation for the subtext, the message of the movie, etc. The quality of the product would be entirely a property of the translation effort, and regardless, what is important to one person is not what's important to another. That depth survives in translation, in all the translations, for--however subjective assertions of "goodness" surely are when assessing literary quality--greatness is calculable, irrefutable, inviolable: a great writer survives any translation. www.waggish.org /2005/01/machine_translation.html   (906 words)

Lichty, Confessions of a whitneybiennial.com Curator In reviewing Manetas’ manifesto on Neen, his original concept was to challenge the physical through the virtual, and the problematizing of physical representation by, although he would not say this originally, a translation 60’s conceptualism into the online arts of the 1990’s. What is proven is the exhaustion of aspects of contemporary art and the art world via Neen’s evacuation of meaning and the shift of aspects of cultural valuation through branding as style, carried on through whitneybiennial.com. Much of this has to do with recent history of New Media art and the role the Whitney has had in raising its visibility in the US art scene. subsol.c3.hu /subsol_2/contributors3/lichtytext.html   (3702 words)

SparkNotes: Poetics: Chapters 1–3 "Art" is the translation of the Greek word techne and is closely related to "artifice" and "artificial." Art for Aristotle is anything that is made by human beings as opposed to being found in nature. Poetry is distinguished as the mimetic art that uses language, rhythm, and harmony to imitate real life, language obviously being the most crucial component. Next, he remarks that all of these kinds of poetry are mimetic, or imitative, but that there are significant differences between them. www.sparknotes.com /philosophy/poetics/section1.html   (3702 words)

Generative Representations for Design Automation Generative representations are those in which an encoded design can reuse elements of its encoding in the translation to an actual design. Non-generative representations are limited in their ability to scale to complex structures because of the exponential growth in the size of the design space and the increasing number of dependencies in a design. Explicit, generative representations are a procedural approach in which a design is explicitly represented by an algorithm for constructing it. ic.arc.nasa.gov /people/hornby/genre/genre.html   (925 words)

MultiCorpora Translation Tools It has given organizations in over 30 countries the flexibility and control they need to eliminate waste in the translation process for all types of content while maintaining the quality associated with the art of human translation. Organizations that need to deliver a large volume of translated content waste time and money if they fail to effectively control and recycle past translations across their distributed in-house and external translators, reviewers and project managers. MultiTrans 4 is the only computer-assisted translation (CAT) system that provides comprehensive terminology management capabilities and recycles 100% of past translations of any segment length and presents them in context for translators. www.multicorpora.ca /index_e.html   (140 words)

Conclusions and Future Work Although, it may not achieve the stated goal of providing the same level of protection as its compiler-based counterpart, in a few cases, it is primarily due to a fundamental deficiency, one that none of the known works in the binary translation literature have done better with, as far as we can tell. Our contribution lies, not in inventing new approaches to static binary translation but in being the first study to implement state-of-the-art techniques into a working system and evaluate their effectiveness on commercial-grade Windows applications. We believe that this paper exhaustively covers most binary translation issues in substantial depth and detail and presents a comprehensive set of experimental results to demonstrate the efficacy of the design decisions we have made. www.usenix.org /events/usenix03/tech/full_papers/prasad/prasad_html/node24.html   (338 words)
