Translation and quality

Christina Schäffner (Editor)

    Research output: Book/ReportBook

    Abstract

    This volume deals with the translation quality assessment from the perspective of a functionalist approach to translation. This approach is illustrated by examples from real translation assignments, and it is argued that quality in translation is something to be negotiated between the client and the translator. Consequences of such understanding for translator training are critically reflected upon.
