though they 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 ... ………………………………………… CHAPTER III: TRANSLATION SAMPLES AND ANALYSIS 3.1 Education 3.1.1 Sample of English-Vietnamese translation 3.1.1.1 Analysis of new words and difficult structures 3.1.1.2 Analysis of sentences...
