Introduction
Nowadays, translation is no longer a one-person endeavor but requires multiple participants to collaborate on the same project. Each team member plays a different role and contributes to promoting the effectiveness of a translation task. This project is to perform the translation workflow in an industrial scenario. The group consists of one project manager who is in charge of the whole process, one or two translators and one terminologist for each language pair. The author is allocated as the first translator in the English-Chinese language pair by the project manager. In this project, SDL Trados Studio 2014 provides a complete translation environment so that the team can work collaboratively and access shared resources such as project files, centralised terminology and relevant translation memories.
Responsibilities as a Translator
Translator mainly produces an initial output of the document. In this project, the author is responsible for translating the section “Quilting” of the source file, which is roughly 400 words, as instructed by the project manager. Based on...
Buckman’s idea was to bring knowledge to the learner rather than bring the learner to the knowledge. Since Buckman employees or “learners” speak nearly a dozen languages, the frontier issue of instantaneous translation is immanent. The idea of when someone posts a note in English, people in Japan will be able to read it and respond in Japanese, which in turn people can read and respond in Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch, French, etc. Therefore, creating a “universal” culture within the organization will ensure employee buy-in into the K’Netix system.
Language and culture are problematic issues when it comes to international marketing. When a company enters the global markets it has to deal with many issues, which do not exist when it comes to the local market. Language is one of the problems and is always a challenge. Even though English is spoken around the world in most cases it cannot be used as a language for international campaign. Therefore the translation of the campaign into the foreign language is very important.
Actions that should be taken when working with an interpreter to ensure the success of the business.
In conclusion we can agree that the use of both foreignization and domestication should be used when translating a text and/or movie. We can see that the successful use of mashing both techniques can lead to an accurate translation.
Effective communication, for client’s who are not fluent in English, the use of a trained interpreter helps bridge any communication gaps.
Being bilingual is good enough to understand what others say and able to reply faster and fluently. However, it is not enough for qualifying a bilingual as an interpreter. The interpretation activity goes beyond linguistic level and requires several important elements need to be found in a bilingual. Interpreting requires faultless command of both the source and target source, a deep insight of the subject matter and mastery of the correct methodology needed to carry out the interpreting process(…the interpretive). Interpreters do not only need to speak English fluently, but also they have to understand the cultural back ground of that language which plays a role in comprehension process. Moreover, interpreters trained to work under pressure

The class of 2017 comes with different expectations of life. Our goals have either been accomplished or still pending on a list with no end. Our dreams have never seemed so close to us as it is now. Reality is standing right in front of us. We came from being four year olds with crazy dreams and careers in mind, and in a year from now this is what I expect.
Since there is no a definitive translation of any text, multiple translations can allow us to conceive the original text (even though we don’t know the language of the source text). "The study of multiple translations substantially enlarges the interpretive process and perspectives that readers draw from the text" (Schulte 1994). In other words, comparing various translations of the same text as in (Charles Baudelaire Correspondence, A Multiple Reading of Rainer Maria Rilke 's “The Panther”, Gaius Valerius Catullus, and Gustave Flaubert, “Madame Bovary”) provide us with a clear understanding of the different perspective of the translators. For me, this comes as no surprise, because each translator has a different technique
In their book A Methodology for Translation, Jean-Paul Vinay and Jean Darbelnet condense countless translation methods and procedures to two methods which was divided into seven specific procedures.
Overall, the impacts of translation in literature was spectacular, and indeed, it contributed to provide literature work a broader platform, and enabled it to be studied and analyzed from different angles by different scholars from different countries; but still, it affected the author’s style and artistic
To begin with a brief definition of translation, it can be stated that it is basically transferring the words included in one language to the other by making necessary changes and sticking to the source language taken from either the source text or source speech. With the help of rapid technology and the network among countries, the significance given to translation has become an indispensable part of wide range of business and communication purposes. The source determines whether it will be a job of translators or interpreters. It is important to refer each of them by explaining the differences between them at this point.
The work of the translator stars with the reading of the ST: he has to study the lexicon, the grammatical structure, the communicative intention of the writer, and of course the cultural context in which is developed the ST, in order to identify the best translation strategy able to express the original intention.
Translation was founded a hundred of years ago because the importance of communicating and understanding other people with different languages. Translation is a bridge that fills the gaps between two languages and cultures. Moreover, “it is a communicative process which transfers the message of a source language text to a target language” (algaz, 2015, p.183). It is not only conveying the meaning from the one language to another language, but also transferring the culture and tradition of the community. Lefevere (2003, p.2) describe the translation as "channel opened" and it can influence on the target culture by the foreign culture. It cannot be denied that translation has a pivotal role in communicating and sharing culture. Ideology and
