Translation from an intercultural perspective

 

 

 

Issue 16/2024 of “Translationes” journal aims to explore various aspects of translation research starting from the central theme, to which other areas of interest and topicality are added:

1) translation in an intercultural perspective: theoretical-applicative aspects regarding translation as an act of intercultural communication; bilingualism, plurilingualism, self- translation and linguistic conflicts; translation and mediation in the language policy of the European Union; the didactic role of translation in teaching and learning foreign languages; intercultural pragmatics and the problems of transposing a text from one culture to another (untranslatability, fidelity, creativity, language transfer strategies, case studies). 

2) the impact of computerization and digitization on the field of translation: advantages, risks, challenges (research and exploitation of databases and online platforms, exploration of techniques and methods of automatic translation generation, combining digital efficiency with human skill in the post-editing of machine translation). 

3) research of the recent history of Romanian translations (from 1990 to the present day), through quantitative and qualitative data analysis (translation fields, authors, editors, translators). 

Against this broad thematic background, the Editorial Office invites all those interested to send publication proposals for the following sections: 

1) TRANSLATION STUDIES in five languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish (with an abstract in English and in the language of the article). 

2) INTERVIEWS with translators and translation experts from the above-mentioned linguistic areas. 

3) REVIEWS of translated volumes and specialized books. 

4) UNIQUE LITERARY TRANSLATIONS: from English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Latin into Romanian (the original and the translation into Romanian must occur on separate pages). 

The studies and articles submitted must comply with the editorial rules of the journal: https://translationes.uvt.ro/rt/en/editorial-protocol.html
