Resumen: From microbiology to nuclear physics and chemistry to software engineering, scientific and technical translation is a complex activity that involves communicating specialized information on a variety of subjects across multiple languages. It requires expert linguistic knowledge and writing skills, combined with the ability to research and understand complex concepts and present them to a range of different audiences. Using a combination of interdisciplinary research, real-world examples drawn from professional practice and numerous learning activities, this introductory textbook equips the student with the knowledge and skills needed to get started in this exciting and challenging field. It examines the origins and history of scientific and technical translation, and the people, tools and processes involved in translating scientific and technical texts. Scientific and Technical Translation Explained provides an overview of the main features of scientific and technical discourse as well as the different types of documents produced. A series of detailed case studies highlight various translation challenges and introduce a range of strategies for dealing with them. A variety of resources and exercises are included to make learning effective and enjoyable. Additional resources and activities are available on Facebook.

Resumen: This Scholary Monograph Series, published by the American Translators Association under the General Editorship of Marilyn Gaddis Rose, is a project of more tha usual interest...A glance at the table of contents of "Translation and the law" suggest thah easily half of the papers may be attributed to this, the rest having arisen directly out of ATA activities and, in a single case, the ever-so-gentle arm-twisting of the editor. What this suggest is that "Translation and Law " speacks to concerns felt in the broad translation and interpreting community itself rather than those of this particular editor. THe paper came in, one by one, "over the transom", as magazine publishers used to say of unsolicited manuscripts, back when there were such things as transsoms....That is just as well. The possibility of twisting arms over such distances as those which separate the contibutors to this volume is nil. Proof of that are the several interesting papers still to be had in, "at least", Argentina, México, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, but also in New York City, Washington, DC, and Texas...

Resumen: Volumee 1 presents a systematic introduction to the basic concepts underlying all areas of modern science and technology, with regard to the problems involved in translating from Geran into Englisg. English technical terms originating from general language (e.g. stress, strain, tension) or those commonly misunderstood by translators (such as Kapazität: capacity, capacitance, capacitor) are defined clearly, using simple examples without mathematics. Even those linguistist with no experience of technology or technical translation can acquire an important basic understanding of areas such a Physics, Chemistry, Semiconductors, Computers, Electronics, Materials science, Machine technology, Automobiles, Electrical engineering and Nuclear technology. Volume 2 is a practical handbook for translators and consists of several bilingual glossaries. The book has some particularly interesting lexicographical features, including: the "Collocation Dictionary" - a glossary of general nouns, adjectives and verbs used in different technical contexts, and the "Polyseme Dictionary" which, among other things, highlights and distinguishes German polysemes.
