Chapter I: Introduction

1.1 The importance of translation skill

In this era of globalization where mostly everyone wants to explore

something new each moment, it becomes impossible to actually avoid how
important translation is. We all do realize that translation is not just a way of
converting words into other words but it’s a complicated and a very crucial
way of explaining things in a way that its actual meaning is delivered
without harming its origin. Translation also carries one culture to the other
altogether in all around the world.

Translation is a challenging skill and takes a lot of time to learn, and it

takes constant practice to create a perfect translation. Because, most of the
languages that exist in the world are changing and developing every day.
The skills required for translators will help them succeed in this profession.

The skills of translation are becoming ever more important and

desirable. Today’s multicultural and multilingual society demands effective,
efficient and empathetic communication between languages and
cultures.The importance of translation comes out due to the fact that it is one
of the fields being very much useful in various aspects of human life.

1.2 Aims of the thesis

This thesis was done with a view to find out students‟ difficulties in
learning written translation in order to orient students who begin to
study this subject in good manner of study. The study also aims at
understanding the students‟ expectation in learning the subject and then
suggesting some possible solutions to overcome difficulties as well
 as satisfy their expectations to improve andadjust both learning‟s style
and teaching method.

Chapter II: Theretical background

2.1 Translation

2.1.1 Definition of translation

Translation, interpretation, or transliteration is an activity that involves

interpreting the meaning of a passage in one language (source text) and
translating it into another language into a new and equivalent passage (the
Translate) .

2.1.2 Problems that English–major students face when learning practical

translation

* Words with Several Meanings

There are several words in the English language that have different
meanings based on the way they are used in the sentence. Words are
sometimes spelled alike and pronounced alike, but have different meanings,
like break (a plate) or take a coffee break. Words that have the same
spellings but different pronunciations like to lead a conference, or a lead
pencil.
There are also words that have different spelling but have the same
pronunciation, like break and brake, grate and great, and so on. There are
hundreds of such words in English, and also idioms, metaphors, similes and
so on. However, those words may be different in other languages.
* Lack of Technical Knowledge
Regarding technical knowledge, translators are first and foremost, linguists;
though they do have good knowledge of certain subjects, they are usually
 not the top experts in the field. In fact it’s very rare that you find a say,
doctor, who is also an expert linguist. Translators usually specialise in
certain niches, and gain subject matter expertise.

But sometimes that may not be enough for some types of specialized
translation; some documents may be full of technical jargon, or talk about
specific procedures or activities in detail. This can pose a problem for
translators.
2.1.3 Suggested for solutions to the problems
* Solution 1: Read very carefully
The translator has to be very vigilant, and carefully read the source text to
fully grasp the meaning. Only after that should they begin the work of
translation; otherwise, it can lead to embarrassing mistakes.
* Solution: Ask experts for help
If the matter is very technical you may need a lot of time – more than usual,
to complete the task. You could contact the client for some pointers if you’re
stuck, or consult a local expert you know well, and ask them for help.
You would also need to read up and educate yourself to gain deeper
knowledge, or to keep in step with the new developments happening in that
field.
