Al-Ma'ni, Musallam. "The problematics of technical translation into Arabic : the case of the Royal Air Force of Oman." Thesis, University of Salford, 2000. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/26535/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the scope and intricacies of technical translation in Oman, in general, and its Royal Air Force (RAFO), in particular. The Study, which is the first of its kind in Oman, focuses on a specific category of Omani translators: technical translators currently working in RAFO with experience ranging from 3 to 10 years. To capture the reality of translation in Oman and to provide a corpus for this study, samples of translations rendered by the subject translators are examined and analysed. To achieve such objectives, six chapters make up the thesis: Chapter 1 sets both the motivations and the assumptions which underly the thesis. Chapter 2 selectively reviews some translation approaches within the sphere of translation studies. Chapter 3 is devoted to the study of technical translation and explores the scope of this type of translation. Chapter 4 examines the development of translation in the Arab world and focuses on the way it spread in the past and its current situation. Chapter 5 specifically takes the translation movement in RAFO as the case study. The chapter starts with a description of translation in Oman and RAFO and then moves to data collection, processing and analysis. Technical texts have been categorized, to our knowledge for the first time in the literature of technical translation, to three main groups according to the degree of their technicality: 1) Local Technical Texts (LTT), 2) Common Technical Texts (CTT), and 3) Highly Technical Texts (HTT). Chapter 6 concludes the thesis and provides some recommendations as well as suggestions for further research. The results of data analysis indicate that although technical translation plays a vital role in the development of the nation, there is still a lack of an overall strategy towards the organization of this profession at various levels. RAFO has endeavoured to introduce a programme that would produce qualified translators capable of dealing with texts of different degrees of technicality. Data analysis shows that the translators face little problems in handling texts from a linguistic point of view. However, the source of their problems is technical terminology for which there are neither specialists translators nor adequate Arabic dictionaries available. The fact that Oman still lacks a body and special dictionaries devoted to technico-scientific terms places obstacles for translating. It further hinders the standardization of terminology and causes confusion for translators as to which terms they may choose. It follows, therefore, that these and other results can be interpreted as reflecting support for the establishment of a body that would supervise and organize all translation activities in Oman such as a language academy. There is also a need for a nation-wide policy towards arabicisation, translation and dissemination of scientific and technical terms. A pan-Arab policy remains an ultimate goal.

Full textAbstract:
Denna undersökning tar sig an problematiken i översättning från danska till svenska. Då litteratur och tidigare forskning i ämnet är mycket sparsam, bygger undersökningen framförallt på erfarenheter från verksamma dansk-svenska översättare. Även språkvetare och en förlagsredaktör har bidragit med sina kunskaper kring översättning i allmänhet och hur danskan och svenskan skiljer sig i uttryckssätt. Innan resultaten sammanställdes utfördes teoretiska studier i dansk och svensk språkhistoria och översättningsproblematik. Intervjuer har genomförts både genom direkta samtal och via e-post. Resultaten är i stort sett överensstämmande. Undersökningen visar att det svåraste vid översättning från danska till svenska är att känna till och särskilja språkens likheter och olikheter. Översättare har lätt att missförstå de ord som i danskan och svenskan har likartad form men olika betydelser, vilket orsakar många fel vid översättning. De två språkområdens närhet gör att man lockas ta till sig varandras formuleringar på felaktigt sätt.In my essay I have focused on the most common difficulties in translation from danish to swedish. My research is based on interviews with ten translators and a few linguists. In addition, I have read some theoretical texts about language history and translation studies. The results are unanimous and show that the most translation faults arise because of the translators difficulties in separating two very similar languages. My research in danish/swedish translation is the first of its kind.

Negli ultimi decenni l’industria legata ai videogame ha sperimentato una crescita esponenziale che ha portato i videogiochi a diventare uno dei mezzi di intrattenimento più popolari e redditizi della società moderna. Questo successo ha portato le aziende ad investire sull’accessibilità dei loro prodotti nei mercati esteri, rendendo il processo di localizzazione un passo cruciale nello sviluppo di questi software. Lo scopo del presente elaborato è quello di analizzare, sia dal punto di vista teorico che da quello pratico, la localizzazione videoludica attraverso il progetto di traduzione italiana del videogioco OFF (2008). Il progetto è consistito nella localizzazione di una versione già tradotta del gioco, al fine di ricreare una situazione molto comune nell’ambito della traduzione di videogiochi e di analizzare gli effetti che questo tipo di pratica può avere sul prodotto finale. A questo scopo, l’elaborato è stato suddiviso in tre capitoli principali: il capitolo 1 contiene una panoramica sul mercato videoludico moderno e una breve introduzione sulla storia dei videogiochi; il capitolo 2 è stato dedicato allo studio della localizzazione videoludica e include al suo interno una descrizione dettagliata di questo processo e dei suoi obiettivi principali, una breve introduzione sul suo percorso evolutivo, una lista dei materiali coinvolti e un’analisi delle problematiche tecniche, linguistiche e culturali tipiche di questa pratica traduttiva; nel capitolo 3 invece è stato esaminato il case study, ovvero il progetto di localizzazione italiana del videogioco OFF, con una particolare attenzione sulle sfide traduttive affrontate durante la realizzazione del progetto e fornendo un confronto tra la versione originale in francese del gioco e le sue localizzazioni in lingua inglese e italiana, allo scopo di mettere in evidenza gli effetti sia positivi che negativi che la localizzazione di un testo già tradotto può avere sul prodotto finale.

Full textAbstract:
Les traductions ne servent pas tout simplement à un transfert d’informations. Les traductions construisent des ponts entre mondes, entre cultures, entre êtres humains. Mais tout ceci ne peut réussir que quand le traducteur comprend les informations essentielles, les dénotations, les connotations, les associations d’un texte de départ. Dans ce monde globalisé, le cinéma apparaît lui aussi comme un support central. Plus que tout autre domaine, il implique un transfert de culture où se reflètent directement et indirectement modes de vie, modes de pensée et pratiques linguistiques d’un espace culturel donné. Certes, la diffusion et la production de films ne se limitent plus aux frontières nationales. Mais aujourd’hui comme hier, il s’agit de faire découvrir et comprendre la langue et la culture d’un pays d’origine aux spectateurs d’un pays cible. Ce processus passe notamment par l’utilisation de versions synchronisées et de versions sous-titrées. Mais est-il vraiment possible de transcrire de façon juste et équivalente des phénomènes culturels et linguistiques ou du moins de les faire comprendre, ou bien existent-ils des spécificités culturelles qui ne passent pas les frontières de leurs propres pays ? Cette question constituera le premier point de la thèse. La recherche s’appuie sur deux films : BIENVENUE CHEZ LES CH’TIS de Dany Boon (2008) et BENVENUTI AL SUD de Luca Miniero (2010). Ces deux films représentent deux aspects différents de la culture française et italienne. Ils traitent de la division Nord-Sud ou bien des préjugés nationaux entre ces régions. Il est frappant de constater que le scénario et les dialogues du film français ont été repris pratiquement à l’identique dans la version italienne. Il nous faudra définir dans quelle mesure l’écart entre le Sud de la France et la région Nord-Pas-de-Calais peut être appliqué à l’opposition Nord-Sud en Italie qui y revêt un tout autre sens sur le plan politiqueTranslation is not just about the transmission of information; no, translations build bridges between worlds, between cultures, and between people. However, all this can only be done successfully if the translator understands the essential information of a source text and succeeds in translating it into another language. The medium of film is taking centre stage in the happenings of our globalized world. It directly and indirectly reflects ways of life, mentalities and language habits of a specific cultural region. Although the diffusion and production of movies is no longer bound by national borders, the problem remains that the audience of the recipient country must be given an understanding of the language and culture of each country of origin. In an effort to solve this problem, subtitling and synchronization are used. But is it even possible to transfer cultural and linguistic phenomena adequately and equivalently, to at least make them understandable, or are there cultural specifics that do not transcend their country's borders? This question is the central issue of the dissertation. The study focuses on BIENVENUE CHEZ LES CH’TIS (Dany Boon, 2008) and BENVENUTI AL SUD (Luca Miniero, 2010). These two movies represent different fragments of French and Italian culture. They address the north-south divide or domestic prejudice between different regions. It remains to be explored to what extent these can be transmitted and made clear to a foreign-language audience. From a linguistic point of view, the reproduction of dialect along with its connotation is notable, especially as misunderstandings arising from the dialect often serve as the basis of the movies' humorous sequences

Danowski, Grzegorz. "Translation and the problematics of textual integrity : a comparative analysis of two English renderings of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Dnevnik pisatelia." Thesis, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/14102.
Full textAbstract:
This paper is a comparative analysis of selections from the two English translations of Fyodor Dostoevsky's “Дневник писателя (1873-1881)” — The Diary of a Writer (Boris Brasol, 1949) and A Writer's Diary (Kenneth Lantz, 1993). The selections include the short stories "The Meek One" and "Bobok," the fictional epistle "A Half-Letter from a 'Certain Person,'" the semifictional sketch "A Hundred-Year-Old Woman," as well as two feullietons: "What Does the Word 'Striutsky' Mean" and "The History of the Verb 'Stushevatsia.'" While elements of reader response theory and recent translation studies scholarship provided a basic theoretical framework for this discussion, the latter shaped itself mainly as a comparison of the three primary texts: the Russian and the two English translations. This approach made it possible to amass a considerable database of textual detail upon which to draw for pronouncements regarding the difficulties that may potentially accompany translation from Russian into English in general, as well as the difficulties that seem to originate in the peculiarities of Dostoevsky's style. Although an effort has been made throughout to avoid a purely qualitative comparison of the two translations, this analysis frequently favours Lantz's translation as more accurate and flexible in its approach. Rather than constituting the ultimate object of the present study, whenever made, qualitative judgements provide points of departure for inquiry into the nature of the translator's task—one that often involves the ability and willingness to accept the untranslatable. By considering some parts of “Дневник” in relation to their English translations, this paper demonstrates that the most important aspect of the work is its "one-ness." Although clearly a combination of genres, it is also a separate genre in its own right. As this analysis proves, the formal paradox inherent in the Diary's very design has until recently puzzled, discouraged, and challenged both literary critics and translators. Together with Brasol's and Lantz's translations, this paper is offered as an effort aimed at promoting a better understanding of the Diary within the context of Dostoevsky's other literary and philosophical output.

Full textAbstract:
The master thesis treats about the multi awarded roman Le dernier des nôtres. This roman is the second written by the French novelist and journalist Adélaïde de Clermont-Tonnerre. The purpose of this thesis is the translation of some chapters of this roman into Czech language. On the following pages, we will focus on analyzing and professionally comment our way of translating. We will study the different elements composing the translation and the cultural specificities we had to consider while translating. Not less important was the general approach of theoretical translation processes and methodology, but also the problematics that could be faced by a translator. Theoretical chapters give a better understanding of translation discipline.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis Issues of translation of the novel Chronos of Taras Antypovych focuses on the indication and analysis of various difficult lexical phenomena in the science-fiction novel of contemporary Ukrainian writer Taras Antypovych. Among the specific features of his novel we could name such as almost complete absence of facts, plenty of neologisms, a lot of self-described names, and frequent mixing of different functional styles. The first part of work deals with the characteristic and detailed analysis of the novel Chronos, the second part is both theoretical and practical one that could be considered as the central part of the work. Such phenomena as neologisms, slang and argot, language games, vulgarisms, own names, "surzhik", phraseological units, interjections, and the words derived from them are considered here as one that may appear problematic in the translation from Ukrainian into Czech. The theoretical explanation is accompanied by examples from the text of the novel which I translated into Czech and supported with comments. The main aim of the work was to clarify the translation process and to present one or more solutions to the problems indicated above. Key words: Taras Antypovych, Chronos, Ukrainian literature, translation, translation theory

Hušek, Jan. "K problematice překladu povídky Groza Vladimira Nabokova." Master's thesis, 2015. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-344503.
Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis offers an analysis of a unique set of texts. The analysis explores the language devices used in the composition of the texts. The set of texts includes a short story Groza by Vladimir Nabokov and its translations. The short story was originally written in Russian, and then translated by the author into English. There exist two Czech translations, one from Russian, one from English. The thesis presents a theoretical framework for the analysis. It is composed of two parts. The first one summarizes the most frequent translation related changes in meaning. The second one compares Nabokov's theory and practice of translation. The theoretical framework is applied to the comparison of the target-language texts with the source-language texts, as well as to the comparison of the two translations from different source-language texts. Comparison of the results of the analysis with the hypotheses stated in the Introduction affirms the movement of the meaning towards stylistic neutrality and shows the influence of the source-language upon the target-language. On the other hand it rejects the statement that Nabokov as a self-translator wanted to preserve the literary qualities of the text, being ready to sacrifice its language qualities. Keywords: comparative analysis, language devices,...

Full textAbstract:
The main aim of the thesis is to discuss a task of translation of low lexicon (esp. vulgarism) from Russian into Czech. Low lexion discussed in the thesis is based on texts of contemporary russian prose written by V. Kozlov. At first we compare both national languages especially their sociolects and specific layer of vulgarism. This layer is then analyzed in Russian and in Czech, which allow us to understand common and different fields in it. There is no direct equivalent in Czech to russian mat (a layer of highly expressive lexicon in Russian). According to functional equvalence we can show the way, how to substitute this lack of expressive lexicon in translation to Czech.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: Every act of communication, and therefore, reading, are in themselves acts of translation and interpretation, as the reader creates a mental representation or reconstruction of the text, extrapolating meaning from it. Interlinguistic translation adds another dimension to these hermeneutic processes, and in the movement through space and time, constant re-interpretation, new translations, and, often, modern theories and perspectives, can interfere with or bring clarity to the meaning of the original text, as well as add to the myth-creation of the writers themselves.
This study centers on some of the great literary figures in poetic and essayistic production in the world of Spanish-speaking letters: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, José Martí, and Octavio Paz. These figures represent not only important literary movements going from the baroque to modernismo, to the vanguardia and to the creation of the self-conscious “modern” poet, but also are among the most well known Spanish-language writers in the English-speaking world. They are all self-aware creators, who, in distinct ways, join poetry, critical essays and theory that are at once an extension of and revolve around their personal poetics, projected toward the currents of their respective epochs.
Finding problematic moments in translation theory and practice, and studying them in the context of the analysis of these great literary figures, at the same time contributes to a new understanding of translation theory itself. These ‘case studies’ expose certain key moments of existing translations, moments that later contribute to critical and interpretive dialogue in a type of hermeneutic spiral of influence. They also show the importance of translation as a contribution to cultural changes and literary movements. This ultimately aids in the understanding of the important points of contact between the many worlds occupied by these great writers and the ways in which they, and in turn, their translators, recreate the contexts in which they were produced.Dissertation/Thesis

Pémová, Petra. "K problematice překladu odborného textu." Master's thesis, 2015. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-342946.
Full textAbstract:
(in English): The work in this diploma contains the special syntactic structural features of Russian and Czech historical and political science texts. The author of the work takes as a theoretical starting point the principle that Russian scientific texts use more condensed forms of expression than Czech scientific texts, and uses evidence in this diploma to verify the truth of this principle. Quantitative research was carried out to test this theory via examination of Czech and Russian historical and political science texts in both original and translated forms. The original criteria for the choice of texts used was thematic closeness, time period of text creation and a minimum length of 5,000 words. This criteria was later expanded to 7,000 words for original texts and 9,000 words for original texts and their translations. In addition to this a translation analysis was carried out concerning condensation devices, expression dynamics and the implicitness and explicitness of the text. The contrastive analysis of applied condensation devices of Czech and Russian texts adheres to the classification framework of Czech linguist Milan Jelinek. The results of the author's analysis confirm that Russian political science and historical texts reach higher predicative tightness of expression and use more...

The attention is paid to Prochasko's specific text NeprOsti, published in 2012, in Czech translation titled Jinací. In the second part of the diploma thesis there are stated the theoretical solutions of my analysis. The story is set into ethnographic specific Hutsul part of Carpathian Ukraine, which is rich in numerous local facts and linguistic interesting peculiarities that are significantly reflected in the text. For this reason the novel contains a number of problematic and interesting phenomena, which are generally referred to as culture-specific items. A difficulty during the translation process was also caused by the author's distinctive syntax, language games and numerous polysemantic expressions. In the...

Full textAbstract:
(in English) The present thesis titled "Untranslatable from Sorokin", is applying both theoretical and empirical approach. Particular attention is paid especially to translations from Russian to Czech language. This thesis focuses on common translation problems while working with books of Russian writer Vladimir Sorokin. The introduction to the theoretical part of the present study is devoted to general theoretical framework of translatological analysis of specific translation problems. In next step the most common difficulties are defined and systemized in several groups like author's neologism, foreign language lexicon, etc.. Empirical part of this thesis focuses on solving of particular translation problems and its analysis. These problems are also explained using examples from works of Vladimir Sorokin. The main goal of the thesis is partly to simplify understanding of Sorokin's books, but mainly to ease the work for translators. Various ways of dealing with difficultly translatable or completely untranslatable parts of Sorokin's books can then also help translators who translate another works from different authors.

Full textAbstract:
The main topic of the master's thesis is the phenomenon of Islamism in the Francophone Maghrebian literature. It focuses on the translation of novels from the region of Maghreb into the Czech language and on the reception of this type of literature in the Czech and French culture and society. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical one. The main aim of the theoretical part is to be interdisciplinary; it explains the main concepts of the political science such as the concept of a nation or of immigration policies.

Full textAbstract:
This diploma thesis deals with with issues occuring in translating trivial literature (formula fiction). Three novels by the Austrian novelist Johannes Mario Simmel are used as empirical material. The first part of the paper focuses on the term trivial literature as well as the person of J. M. Simmel and his work. In the second part, three novels by this author are the subject of translation analysis. The analysis uses criteria of quality assessment defined by the German translation scholar Katharina Reiß in her thesis Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Übersetzungskritik (published in 1971). The analysis shows various aspects contributing to the result of this translation process. They are partly objective, given by context of time period in which they were created, and partly subjective, given by the person of the translator. Keywords Johannes Mario Simmel, translation criticism, trivial literature, Katharina Reiß, 3 novels (Liebe ist nur ein Wort, Ich gestehe alles, Gott schützt die Liebenden)
