		Translation research addresses the problems that are involved in the transferal of meaning from one culture to another.
		Translators continuously assess the semantic, cultural, historical, and psychological boundaries of words as isolated phenomena and as they exist in the overall context of a given text.
		Translation research sensitizes the reader and scholar to the various perspectives that cultures have established through the specific nature of their language structure and usages.

		From their standpoint, translation is considered not as a process of transcoding (the position usually adopted by earlier non-functionalist approaches), but as a form of human action which has its own purpose basically decided on by the translator (SchÃ¤ffner, 1998b: 235; HÃ¶nig, 1998: 9).
		Likewise, Baker (1998: 164) introduces studying of a 'corpus of authentic translations' as a means for identifying regular instances of translational behavior which are represented in that corpus by the translator, and, thus, for identifying the translational norms.
		Translation teaching should no longer be seen as a set of rules and instructions prescribed by translation teachers to the students as to what strategies will lead to a 'good' or 'correct' translation and what to a 'wrong' and 'incorrect' one.

	Resources for Translation Studies Scholars :: HOME
		The involvement and intervention of translators and interpreters on both sides of the power divide in this complex and volatile landscape is becoming a growing concern for the sociology and ethics of translation and interpreting.
		The analysis of both draft and final translation provides them with a typification of the translator in terms of fidelity and leads them to formulate hypotheses about the patterns of behaviour followed by translators during the first decade of the twentieth century, especially in relation to cultural "manipulation" of texts for religious reasons.
		This debate results from the fact that translations are distinct from their respective original texts, since they are open to later repetition and new interpretations, and cannot be expected to be definite readings of a text and exhaust all its meanings.

	Literary Translation: Recent Theoretical Developments
		Translation is as a form of intercultural communication raising the problems that are not merely at the verbal level or at the linguistic level.
		He stresses that the study should begin with the empirically observed data, that is, the translated texts and proceeds from there towards the reconstruction of non-observational facts rather than the other way round as is usually done in the `corpus' based and traditional approaches to translation.
		He is of opinion that it is impossible to speak of theories of translation without applying the comparative procedure, as the aim of analysis of a translation is to determine the extent to which it belongs to the developmental series of the native literature.

	Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies
		Studies of the histories of Qur’an, Torah, Shakespeare, and Bible translation provide exemplary cases of translation methods and historical development.
		The latter accept that the translation must be the translator’s interpretation, and translators even compete with the original authors in some traditions.
		This reference book, essential for any academic library supporting studies in the fields of comparative literature, linguistics, of course, translation studies, is a thorough introductory source to almost every aspect of the field.

	Globalisation and Translation
		An excessive translation is a translation that fails to foreignise/exoticise, i.e., use source-language terms in the target-language text, to the degree that I believe is now acceptable.
		Two further examples of translations of Mexican texts into English and Dutch will be used* to show that the practice of literary translation has changed as a result of globalisation, that texts have become more exotic, and that these translations thus contribute to a better and more correct understanding of the source culture.
		In translation studies, there is too often a focus on known dominant cultures, such as the Anglo-Saxon culture, and as a result, studies are dedicated to analysing western languages.

	MA in Translation Studies
		Translation Studies is a discipline which has witnessed unparalleled growth in the last ten years.

		The MA in Translation Studies will add value to your credentials as a linguist, by confirming your ability to deal expertly and effectively with real-world language tasks.

	Translation Studies Cluster Proposal
		Edwin Gentzler, a star translation studies scholar and Director of the Translation Center at the University of Massachusetts, led a workshop devoted to "Translation and Globalization"in Madison this fall.
		Translation Studies is an emergent area of academic study that forges connections between foreign languages, applied linguistics, literary theory, philosophy, anthropology, marketing and advertising.
		By bringing foreign languages into a broader consortium that studies not only translation between languages, but also between particular cultures and their economies, we would be building on existing strengths to keep our university in the forefront of teaching, research and service to the state of Wisconsin.

	Translation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other translators, mostly those who work on technical, business or legal documents, regard their métier as a craft, one that can not only be taught but that is subject to linguistic analysis and that benefits from academic study.
		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.
		Pedagogical translation is used to enrich (and to assess) the student's vocabulary in the second language, to help assimilate new syntactic structures and to verify the student's understanding.

		Translation Studies is a discipline which has witnessed unparalleled growth over the course of the last ten years.
		Another equally valid reason is that Translation Studies has pioneered a number of key ideas and concepts which have proved themselves invaluable with regard to the study of cultural exchange in areas as diverse as literature, poetry and drama, history, media, law, comparative religion, philosophy, and the social sciences.
		With its equal emphasis on the practical aspects of the translation process and the underlying theoretical issues involved, the programme will be of interest to all graduate linguists whatever their future career route: commercial or technical translation; literary or stage translation; research, teaching or management.

	Equivalence in Translation
		Dynamic equivalence is defined as a translation principle according to which a translator seeks to translate the meaning of the original in such a way that the TL wording will trigger the same impact on the TC audience as the original wording did upon the ST audience.
		She asserts that the translation process cannot simply be reduced to a linguistic exercise, as claimed by Catford for instance, since there are also other factors, such as textual, cultural and situational aspects, which should be taken into consideration when translating.
		Texture is a very important feature in translation since it provides useful guidelines for the comprehension and analysis of the ST which can help the translator in his or her attempt to produce a cohesive and coherent text for the TC audience in a specific context.
