Produktbeschreibung

The first in a new series, Routledge Approaches to Translation, these practical guides cover the key translation types and equip translators and students of translation with the skills needed to translate them.

Most of the world's translators work on scientific and technical texts, and most translator-training programmes deliver some tuition in scientific and technical translation. This book will provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to analyse and translate scientific and technical texts.

Offering a wide range of relevant tasks for essential practice, examples from the most commonly taught language pairs and a concluding chapter with guidance on professional development, this is the essential textbook for all courses on scientific and technical translation.

Rezensionen

"Scientific and Technical Translation is one of those books I wish I had when I was a student." -- Karina Lehrner-Mayer, Technical Writer at ISIS Papyrus Europe AG, Austria

"What I like most about Scientific and Technical Translation is the abundance of real-life examples (which made me think more than once: "Yes, that's exactly how it really is!"), a wealth of information that will really help you take off in the translation world as well as the readable and practicable way Olohan presents the information." -- Karina Lehrner-Mayer, Technical Writer at ISIS Papyrus Europe AG, Austria

"What gives Scientific and Technical Translation extra value are its first two rich, informative chapters. Chapter 1 (Scientific and technical translation as a professional activity) outlines some of the typical workplace configurations for translators and other professionals in the sector and presents the translation brief and the translation project specification as helpful tools. As a former in-house translator employed by a translation company who turned into a technical writer more than 15 years ago, I could truly see myself in the translation landscape that Olohan describes in this chapter." -- Karina Lehrner-Mayer, Technical Writer at ISIS Papyrus Europe AG, Austria
