Introduction to translation
  1. Translation definition
    1. 1. It is the text has been translated
      1. 2. The act of producing the translation otherwise known as translating
        1. The process of translating have two different kinds
          1. Source language
            1. What we want to translated
              1. - Recurso "SL" -
              2. Target language
                1. - Meta "TL" -
                  1. It is the objective to translation
            2. This type correspond to interlingual translation and it is one of the three categories described by "ROMAN JACKOBSON" in "On linguistic aspects of translation"
              1. Intralingual "rewording"
                1. Redaction or interpretation of verbal sings by means of other signs of the SAME LANGUAGE
                2. Interlingual "Translation proper"
                  1. Intepretation of verbal signs by means of some OTHER LANGUAGE
                  2. Intersemiotic "Transmitation"
                    1. Interpretation of verbal signs by means of signs of non-verbal sing systems.
                3. The process of translating
                  1. This is the a translation perceived as a problem solving process with the using of source like a SL or TL
                    1. Skills needed in translation
                      1. 1. The person only need "reasonable knowledge" of a foreign language and "few good dictionaries". Because the translating is an "intuitive process" based in "creative capabilities"
                        1. 2. Some person who believe that only the specialist like lawyers or scientis can translated in their own parts
                          1. 3. But we consider that if the specialist do the traductions. They couldn't fail to make a distintion between factual knowledge and procedual knowledge
                            1. Distinguish factual knowledge and procedural knowledge
                              1. Factual knowledge
                                1. Is the knowledge of "special fields or terminology"
                                2. Procedual knowledge
                                  1. It to refers to "some kind of method or procedure" to help the translator in seeing the meaning of the ST and re-expressing that meaning in the TT
                                    1. Direct
                                      1. It's possible with parallel categories. It are used when structural and conceptual elements of SL that can be traspased into TL; with this techniques into of it:
                                        1. Borrowing
                                          1. A word which is taken from a language without translating it
                                            1. Example: Coffe, software...
                                          2. Calque

                                              1. It's a class of loan where syntax is taken from source language and translated literally
                                                1. Example: White house = "Casa blanca"
                                            2. Literal
                                              1. Translating word by word from SL to TL, respecting the collocations of TL
                                                1. It depends if the meaning doesn't change or depends of the language

                                                  Annotations:

                                                  • The grammar could change just a little
                                                  1. Example: No es complicado de entender = It isn't complicated to understand

                                              1. Is when the direct translation wouldn't work because they're structurally id impossible
                                                1. Also it's using for paraphasing and use the following technique into it:
                                                  1. Transposition
                                                    1. Modulation
                                                      1. Reformulation
