Language translation is ALL decision making though?

“every perceived metamorphosis of a word or phrase within or between languages, every decipherment and interpretation of that logo on the panel, every act of reading, writing and interpretation of a text, every role by each actor in the cast, every adaptation of a script by a director of opera, theater, film, ballet, pantomime, indeed every perception of movement and change, in the street or on our tongues, on the page or in our ears, leads us directly to the art and activity of translation”

The most questionable effect of Dryden’s assertion, to my mind, is that it winds up collapsing the translator’s labor into the foreign author’s, giving us no way to understand (let alone judge) how the translator has performed the crucial role of cultural go-between. To read a translation as a translation, as a work in its own right, we need a more practical sense of what a translator does. I would describe it as an attempt to compensate for an irreparable loss by controlling an exorbitant gain.

Bad news for this research team in that case, I wonder if they’ve seen your whitepaper yet?
