Translation: challenges and issues
In the current context of globalisation and exponential growth of international exchanges, we are more connected than ever, and translation plays a major role in this form of communication. Indeed, this escalation of information sharing is sometimes limited by language and cultural barriers, which translators can help take down by bringing cultures and businesses together despite their differences.
Translation means transposing written content from one (source) language to another (target language). This task requires all sorts of knowledge, which is acquired through sound training and years of experience.
Contrary to common belief, being a translator is a profession in its own right and requires:
- Rigour: strict compliance with deadlines, organisation, adaptability
- Precision: in-depth research, ability to make the perfect word choice
- Vigilance: careful proofreading to eliminate spelling mistakes and mistranslations
- General knowledge: diversity of the topics covered
- Curiosity and thirst for discovery: essential in the translation trade
Translation and interpretation
The general public often confuses interpretation and translation.
Despite having many things in common, these two disciplines each require specific skills. The main difference lies in the communication channel used: interpretation relates to spoken communication, while translation focuses exclusively on written content.
