Translation Techniques
  1. Definition
    1. The conversion of one language into another
      1. There are 7
        1. Borrowing
          1. Borrwing is a translation procedure that involves using the same word or expression in original text in the target text
            1. example: SL "Me compre el ultimo Smartphone del mercado " TL " I bought the newest Smartphone "
              1. RUBRIC Content 20 Coherence 5 Cohesion 5 Word choice 5 Grammar 5 Spelling 5 Accuracy 5 Total50 Anthony Nuñez, Anthony Torres
          2. Adaptation
            1. Adaptation, Also called cultural sustitution, is a cultural element which replaces the original text with one that is better suited to the culture of the target language
              1. Example: SL ''Whatsapp es la mejor aplicación para chatiar'' TL ''Whatsapp is the best app to chat
            2. Omission
              1. means dropping a word or words from the SLT while translating.
                1. Example: SL "Fui a comprar los mejores audifonos para mi celular acompañado de la mano de mi novia" TL "My Girlfriend and I went to buy the best headset for my cellphone"
              2. Equivalence
                1. This is a translation procedure which uses a completely different expression or cultural equivalent
                  1. Example: SL '' Este nuevo cargador para mi telefono que me compro mi padre es el que necesitaba, pensamos igual'' TL ''This new charger for my cellphone which my father bought is what I needed, like a father, like a son''
                2. Modulation
                  1. Modulation is about changing the form of the text by introducing a semantic change or perspective
                    1. Example: SL ''necesitamos acomodar las nuevas memorias para los teléfonos'' TL ''We need to put in a properly place for the pen drive
                  2. Literal Translation
                    1. This means a word-for-word translation, achieving a text in the target language which is as correct as it is idiomatic.
                      1. Example: SL "Mi iPhone 7 tiene la mejor camara " TL "My iPhone 7 has the best Cam"
                    2. Transposition
                      1. Transposition involves moving from one grammatical category to another without altering the meaning of the text. This technique introduces a change in grammatical structure.
                        1. Example: SL ''Los estudiantes de la Latina crearon la aplicacion que xopa'' TL ''The que xopa app is was made by Latina's students''
