It looks at the profession of translator on the basis of developments over the last few years and encourages both practitioners and buyers of translation services to view translation as a highly-qualified, skilled profession and not just a cost-led word mill. The book is intended principally for those who have little or no practical experience of translation in a commercial environment. It offers comprehensive advice on all aspects relevant to the would-be translator and, whilst intended mainly for those who wish to go freelance, it is also relevant to the staff translator as a guide to organisation of work and time. Advice is given on how to set up as a translator, from the purchase of equipment to the acquisition of clients. The process of translation is discussed from initial enquiry to delivery of the finished product. Hints are given on how to assess requirements, how to charge for work, how to research and use source material, and how to present the finished product. Guidance is given on where to obtain further advice and professional contacts. This revised edition updates practices in the translation profession and considers the impact of web-based translation offerings. Industry and commerce rely heavily on the skills of the human translator and his ability to make intellectual decisions that is, as yet, beyond the capacity of computer-aided translation. 410 0$aTopics in translation ;$v38. 606 $aTranslating and interpreting$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aLanguage and languages 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 676 $a418.02023 700 $aSamuelsson-Brown$b Geoffrey$f1940-$0131074 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458373603321 996 $aPractical guide for translators$9445957 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01038nam 2200349Ia 450 001 996397727203316 005 20210104171859.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000060735 035 $a(EEBO)2240882250 035 $a(OCoLC)ocn226373886e 035 $a(OCoLC)226373886 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000060735 100 $a20080429d1570 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 00$a[Engraving by Henry Cock]$b[electronic resource] 210 $a[S.l. $cs.n.]$d1570 215 $a[1] leaf $cill 300 $aTitle suggested by cataloger. 300 $aEngraving signed and dated: H.
