Resumen: Translation is typically thought of as conveying the meaning of a text written in another language. However translators frequently engage in operations that do not start from textual meaning but from phonetic form, typographic form or some other formal feature of a text. In this article, I look at several such operations, and how they are used in handling proper names, numerical expressions, text in a third language, so-called untranslatable words, passages of uncertain meaning, and poetry, as well as their use in translation studies and linguistics journals, and in pronunciation guides for tourists and for choirs singing in languages unknown to their members. I also briefly consider operations that are based on the form of non-linguistic text elements.

Resumen: In this study we use a translation corpus of English novels translated into two closely related Celtic languages, Welsh and Breton, as one way of shedding light on the extent to which languages can influence each other over time: Welsh has a long history of contact with English, and Breton with French. Ever since the work of Leonard Talmy (1991, 2000 etc.), linguists have recognized that languages fall into a small number of types with respect to how they prefer to talk about motion events. English is a good exemplar of the satellite-framed type, whereas French exemplifies the verb-framed type. Translation scholars have observed that translating between languages of two different types raises interesting questions (Slobin 2005b, Cappelle 2012), and the topic is also of interest from the perspective of language contact: is it possible for a language of one type, in a situation of prolonged and intense bilingualism with a language of another type, to be influenced or perhaps even to change its own rhetorical preferences? The translation corpus provides a body of data which holds constant the starting point - the cue in each case was an English motion event in the source text. We do indeed find that Welsh and Breton have diverged in important ways in terms of their preferences for encoding motion events: Breton is revealed to have moved significantly in the direction of French with respect to these preferences.

Resumen: La sociedad basada en el conocimiento y las nuevas tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones han contribuido al aumento de la difusión de la información y a la transferencia de resultados de investigación y al progreso tecnológico a nivel mundial. Este volumen recoge trabajos relacionados con la terminología en distintos ámbitos de especialidad y combinaciones ligüísticas, y aborda tanto cuestiones teóricas, como otras más metodológicas o aplicadas, como su función para los traductores, el proceso de elaboración de una base de datos terminológicos, su combinación con herramientas informáticas que facilitan la gestión de la terminología, la recuperación de información, la automatización del proceso de traducción y la consistencia del uso de la terminología técnica, así como de los rasgos característicos del <texto meta>.

Resumen: En el presente trabajo, se pretende dar cuenta de la manera en que se enfrentaron los diferentes desafíos de traducción que presenta el texto literario seleccionado y de los procesos y mecanismos a los que se recurrió para su solución. Es así que, a continuación, se detallarán los puntos más relevantes del proceso de traducción de la historia; se los fundamentará y vinculará con las teorías que corresponda, así como se presentará, en cada caso, la perspectiva desde la que se actuó.

Resumen: There is no doubt that music plays an important role in people's lives and, consequently, in different societies and cultures. Through music, the distinctive features of societies and cultures can be appreciated, while, at the same time, its condition of universal language acts as a means of communication among them. Translation Studies has recently started to pay attention to the relationship between translation and music. The study of the translation of songs, opera and other musical products is a subject that can enrich the field. In addition to this, owing to the peculiar nature of the musical text, the translation of music can be linked to other disciplines within Translation Studies, as is the case with AVT. In this work, we will analyse the similarities and differences between AVT and song translation. We will show that some of the translation strategies used in AVT can be applied to other types of multimodal translation, like song translation. We will also consider some cases in which song translation becomes part of AVT, as happens in the translation of TV series or films in which there are songs.

Resumen: A complex knowledge acquisition process, which is a necessary prelude to specialized translation or technical writing, requires optimal terminological resource and an accurate representation of specialized knowledge. Terms are the linguistic units that designate our conceptualization of objects, processes, states and attributes in a specialized domain. Therefore, they play a key role in understanding, representing, transmitting, and acquiring specializad knowledge.

Resumen: Esta comunicación, inserta en el campo disciplinario de los Estudios de Traducción en su rama descriptiva orientada al proceso traductor, tiene como principal objetivo la difusión de un estudio empírico-experimental realizado bajo el abordaje cognitivo. Dicho estudio, realizado en conjunto entre el Laboratorio Experimental de Traducción (LETRA) de la Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) y el Departamento de Línguas Estrangeiras e Traducción (LET) de la Universidade de Brasília (UnB), buscó modelar el proceso traductor, capturado en tiempo real, durante una tarea de (re)traducción. Aparte de eso, buscó registrar instancias de esfuerzo cognitivo en dicha tarea.

Resumen: In translation studies, investigating translations beyond the implications, realities and difficulties of single texts and single language combinations, viewing the larger picture surrounding translations and following the translations through to the impacts they produce wherever they are received, is an integral part of the discipline. The study discussed in this article is an effort to present food for thought for audio-visual translators of soap operas. Turkish soap operas have been aired in 90 countries around the world, reaching over 400 million viewers, according to 2014 statistics from the sector. The aim of the study is to indicate the type of translated soap operas preferred in different regions of the world; to explain, on the basis of feedback from experts, the public and local and international media, why these are watched; and to investigate the translation modes and strategies used to market the translations successfully in the receiver markets

Resumen: La conception de « fonction » en traductologie est loin de faire unanimité. Le terme est utilisé par plusieurs chercheurs et plusieurs écoles traductologiques, sans avoir toujours la même valeur. Nous proposons d'examiner l'évolution du concept de « fonction » à travers deux grandes théories traductologiques contemporaines (théorie du skopos, théorie du polysystème), en mentionnant certaines sources épistémologiques communes à ces écoles. Parmi les sources communes, nous mentionnons le structuralisme tchécoslovaque du Cercle linguistique de Prague de l'entre-deux-guerres, dont l'apport est décisif dans l'approche descriptive et fonctionnaliste des traductologues tchécoslovaques, Jirí Levý ou Anton Popovic, dans les années soixante et soixante-dix. Du point de vue méthodologique, notre article s'inscrit dans une métathéorie de la traduction et en même temps peut être considéré comme une contribution à la genèse et l'historiographie des théories traductologiques

Resumen: The translation, dissemination and reception of knowledge has served as an excellent indicator of changing ideologies and the major catalyst for institutional changes, language reforms and social transformation in China. However, English representations of the Chinese tradition of translation (e.g. Hung 2005; Hung and Pollard 2009) have not incorporated research findings from Chinese studies (e.g. Cohen 1995; Amelung, Kurtz and Lackner 2001; Elman 2005) and tend to provide unsubstantiated generalizations and hasty conclusions. This article uses a combination of "cultural tool" (Even-Zohar 2005) and "culture planning" (Even-Zohar 2008) as a frame of reference to provide a macroscopic perspective on knowledge translation in different Chinese historical periods as "a means of planning" (Toury 2002:?166) to promote religious agendas, modernize traditional Chinese natural studies, Westernize educational and academic systems, facilitate modernization of the state or participate in global knowledge production.

Resumen: Translation traces embrace a wide range of inheritance forms in cultural production practices. Pseudo-originals disclose a kind of literary creation pattern which is a partial or full cross-lingual plagiarism of a text by a predecessor or a contemporary from another language-culture. Well-known quotations in a foreign language are frequently employed by speakers or writers via impromptu translating or memory-based appropriation from an available translation. These translated quotations may well be imitated by text producers to derive a large number of variations in the target culture. Plagiarisms or borrowings are also seen in retranslations of great world classics. As two largely uncharted territories, indirect translation and back translation make translation traces too weak to be located. The inheritance of translation beliefs indicates various genealogies, such as husband-wife genealogy, father-daughter genealogy and so on. Research on the origins of translative memes, their morphology and typology of transmission as well as their mutative reasons may create a new area for Translation Studies.
