Translation difficulties
During my translation internship I met some problem.
For example, I translated different documents with a
specialized terminology, and I had some difficulties so as
all the documents that I translated had terms that I had
to search in dictionaries.
One of the problems I encountered during this practice
of translation was the legal problem, which is a common
phenomenon in legal translations. Legal issues can arise
from the differences between legal references, such as
the name of institutions, law and procedures, in general.
The translator will use the localization of the language to
correctly adapt the translation in the targeted domain.
English variant:
For the nation as a whole the total amount of money
borrowed and lent every year is enormous.
Romanian translation:
Pentru națiune per ansamblu suma totala de bani luată și
dată cu împrumut este în fiecare an enormă. (Right variant)
Pentru națiune, suma totală de bani împrumutați și dați cu
împrumut în fiecare an este enormă. (Wrong variant)
English variant:
They do not think of a home mortgage as similar to other
kinds of debt, but it is.
Romanian translation:
Ei nu se gândesc la o ipotecă imobiliară la fel de similară cu
alte tipuri de datorii, dar ea este. (Right variant)
Ei nu se gândesc la o ipotecă la domiciliu la fel de asemănătoare
cu alte tipuri de datorii, dar este. (Wrong variant)
English variant:
A former minister (is) to be court-martialled for sedition.
Romanian translation:
Un fost ministru (trebuie) să fie judecat în instanță pentru
sediție.
The infinitive is very often used in this function in newspaper
headings due to the concise character of this construction
(the predicate is omitted before the infinitive)
English variant:
The legal profession in the United Kingdom is divided into
two branches, barristers and solicitors.
Romanian translation:
Profesia juridică în UK este împărțită în două ramuri,
avocați consultanți și avocați pledanți. (Right variant)
Profesia juridică din Regatul Unit este împărțită în două
ramuri, avocați și solicitanți. (Wrong variant)
Conclusion
To sum up the results of this practice I would say that
translation is a hard work and requires huge attention
and effort in order to succeed. I achieve all the objectives
that I desired from the beginning of my translation practice:
I worked with new terms from academic field;
I improved my translation abilities;
I improved the quality of my translations;
I used electronic dictionaries better;
I enriched my vocabulary with new terms from the
academic field;
I developed qualitative and written skills in translations.
