Resumen: Ideology is a major issue in Translation Studies. With a case study of the Chinese translations of English news headlines concerning the South China Sea disputes on the website of www.ftchinese.com, this paper attempts to provide insights into the translation of ideologies in news in the Chinese context. In the theoretical framework of critical discourse analysis, the ideological factors underlying the disparity between the English news headlines and their Chinese translations are explored. The three-dimensional model of analysis put forward by Fairclough is modified and adopted in this paper as the basic steps of analysis: firstly, describe the differences between the original and their translations; secondly, associate them with the social reality; finally, account for those differences. In addition, to demonstrate how translators maneuvered to reach a compromise with the antagonistic ideologies which may set difficulties either for the news to win the acceptance of Chinese online readers or pass the Chinese government censorship, this paper offers an analysis of the translation strategies adopted in those Chinese translations, such as substitution, omission as well as the more subtle strategies, including changes of modality and actor. It is found that in the Chinese translations of the English news headlines, translators' priority is on producing translations suitable to target readers and censors' ideology, rather than linguistic equivalents. Therefore, translating ideology-loaded texts adds a new way to understand translation and ideological explorations in Translation Studies have great potentials.

Resumen: Los traductores, y sobre todo los docentes de traducción, nos vemos frecuentemente enfrentados a interrogantes sobre la identidad y la legitimación de nuestra actividad. El traductor, es un actor social? Si es así, cuál es su rol? Se trata de un simple mediador? La actividad traductora, es una acción con estatuto propio o se reduce a la reiteración de otra acción?

Resumen: There are limits to the right of translators to radically rewrite a text. Susan Bassnett reports.

Resumen: The notion of norm has been discussed from different points of view in Soviet linguistics: the literary norm, the norm of the target language, the stylistic norm, the norm of equivalence /Komissarov, 1980/. In this paper we shall consider the pragmatic aspects of translation that are connected with the participants in the translation act: the Sender (S), the Reciever (R), the Translator (Tr).

Resumen: This paper concisely reinvestigates translatorial action and observes that the 'meaning' of lexical items is not the same with the 'sense' of lexical items. The central distinctions between the two terms are that the meaning of lexical items is not only a subjective application, but is also dependent on its environment for its truth-value within any given linguistic discourse. The sense of a word however, refers to its objective use and is context independent. Meaning is viewed as having a direct link with the communicative approach to translation. The approach derives from the Communication Theory, which core assumption is that unpredictability is equivalent to informativity. Unpredictability can be unravelled by building in redundancy into the target text to avoid communication overload.pThrough a rigorous theoretical explications coupled with an avalanche of exemplifications, it is observed that communicatively generated texts appear smoother and more comprehensible than its semantic counter part. However, the writers, suggest that the communicative approach to translation is necessarily applicable in cases of use variations occasioned by differential discourse practice between the source and the target language socio-cultures. Sequel to that, use variations between languages and socio-cultures in contact often pose linguistic structures that resist semantic rendition, because it fails to recapture the ideational content of the source language text in such instances. It is the failure of the semantic approach to yield adequate text(s) at the target end that necessitates the communicative type.

Resumen: The implementation of the American neoliberal model in Chile four decades ago, in addition to the nation's participation in the globalized world, has led to significant changes in society. In fact, the effects of the adoption of that paradigm are evident in a wide variety of areas, including that of the use of the language. For this reason, it is of interest for linguists and translators to do research on the influence of the English language and American culture on Chilean society. For this reason, the objectives of this study were to verify the presence of English loanwords in the written press in order to describe them, determine their type and token frequency and patterns of use, and infer the causes of their adoption in Spanish.

Resumen: Implied meaning is not an inherent part of translation, but it is important all the same as no one says everything while speaking. Implied messages are often perceived through shared experiences. To decode and encode an implied cultural meaning calls for a thorough understanding of that culture. The translator should be able to distinguish a consciously implied meaning from an unconscious one. In the former, the locutor passes on the message indirectly but is not ready to accept responsibility for the implied meaning. In the second case, the locutor has no intention to deliberately hide his intentions behind the words. However, this can lead to intercultural communication problems. To my mind, the attitude of a translator to these implied meanings is this: be as faithful as possible to the spirit of the deliberately hidden message, but be more explicit where the implied meaning seems to have been hidden unconsciously. There is however need for caution as the translator cannot be too sure of knowing the attitude of the author all the time.

Resumen: "Decía George Santayana que quienes no recuerdan el pasado están obligados a repetirlo. Este aforismo sobre el destino de replicar la historia despide al moderno visitante del hoy ruinoso campo de concetración de Dachau, en un intento ¿vano? por recordarle que el capítulo de la Historia por el que acaba de transitar no es el duna novela de terror sino el de la Historia de la Humanidad; así en mayúsculas. Es decir, el de la historia del Tercer Reich, en particular, y el de la historia del mundo, en general. Porque no podemos olvidar algo elemental: Auschwitz no pertenece a un único pueblo, como tampoco las víctimas se agrupan dentro de un mismo colectivo. A pesar de lo evidente, hemos preferido recurrir a la simplificación para convencernos de que el Holocausto es cosa de nazis, que son los verdugos, y de judíos, que son sus víctimas."

Resumen: La historia de nuestras citas y acápites y definiciones emblemáticas es la historia de esa relación con el prestigio y con el poder. Una historia intermitente de nuestra condición equívocamente cholula, cipaya, tilinga, patéticamente dependiente del gesto, la palabra, la mirada externa. Una forma de construir desde la palabra de los otros nuestro espejo ideal para que nos devuelva una imagen ideal. Voy a hablar de tres casos ejemplares en que la traducción tácita o explícita, callada o manifiesta, realizada o no en la cita; son reveladoras de nuestra condición nacional siempre en formación y deformación.
