Abstract:

This article explores the ethical aspects of translating medical terminology into English, with a particular emphasis on the joint influence of medical ethics and translation ethics. This study identified four key issues in current translation practice through the analysis of various cases from the perspective of Chestermans five kinds of translation ethics, including representation ethics, service ethics, communication ethics, norm-based ethics, and commitment ethics. The four issues involve discrimination, superstition, contempt, and overgeneralization. These issues may hinder the provision

Abstract:

As Bible translation slowly develops into a discipline of its own, ethical standards need to be defined. In functional and skopos-oriented translation theories, an obligatory work plan gives support to expressing and regulating the expectations, capabilities and the contextual environments of a Bible translation project. Such agreements should also describe a code of ethics to which all agree. The interdisciplinary and professional nature of Bible translation leads increasingly to a collection of expertise that also requires an ethical framework to guarantee mutual understanding.

Abstract:

In addition to many other functions, translating may (and often does) also have a national agenda. Such agenda determines what is going to be translated, how and by whom. Depending on what the national agenda might be, various questions of ethics come into play. Such questions of ethics may be reflected in the translation norms, they may be concealed but still have an important role in constructing the image of translators as well as the idea of what translations should be like. In Estonia, translation has been of pivotal importance among other things in the formation of the national can

Since 1980s, the researchers weren’t bound by the ideal of “faithfulness” in translation, but the ethics of “keeping differences” is advocated.

Abstract Crisis situations, including disasters, require urgent decisions, often without sufficient resources, including decisions about translating and interpreting.

Judith Butler draws on Emmanuel Levinas’ ethics in order to question processes of humanization and dehumanization taking place through various practices of representation of the face of the other. This is a singular reading leading Levinas’ work to the field of media representations conceived as an agonistic social landscape where the demand of the face is offered or, on the contrary, hidden from us. In that sense, Butler’s cultural transposition of Levinasian ethics entails a politicization of ethics which is indistinguishable, at the end, from an ethic assault to the politics of representati

Abstract:

Qualitative research conducted in a non-English speaking setting requires the researchers to prepare and present translations of data, and then to report on the project in English to reach a global audience. This paper considers the process and ethical considerations involved in such an invisible methodological phase. This includes activities undertaken before data analysis and at the point of data presentation in order to convey participants’ original meanings and fulfil translation ethics. It focuses on educational research using the constructivist-interpretive paradigm on the grounds that i

Abstract:

Language and its translation are important operational concerns in humanitarian crisis response. Information sharing, coordination, collaboration and relationship-building all revolve around the ability to communicate effectively. However, doing so is hampered in many humanitarian crises by linguistic differences and a lack of access to adequate translation. Various innovative practices and products are being developed and deployed with the goal of addressing these concerns. In this theoretical paper, we critically appraise the ethical terrain of crisis translation and humanitarian innovation.

Abstract:

This article deals with the ethics of intralingual translation and cultural accessibility. Based on the analysis of five characteristic text examples of the Volxbibel, a German intralingual translation of the Bible which makes excessive use of local adaptive strategies and whose central aim is to make the Scriptures accessible to youngsters, it will be shown that cultural accessibility can only be achieved if the ethical dimension of semiotic translational transfer is taken duly into account. Methodologically, the analysis will be based on a contrastive pragmatic analysis of the Volxbibel and

Abstract:

Abstract Translation scholars have recently emphasized the importance of the translator's (in)visibility (Venuti) and of the ethical aim of translation (Berman). This paper argues that a) the translation of literary sociolects is paradigmatic of the way in which the translator's visibility is foregrounded within the target text; b) their translation requires a "visible" engagement on the part of the translator which is grounded in an ethics of translation, thus leading beyond the visible/ invisible dichotomy implied by Venuti and the positive/negative ethics dichotomy set up by Berman; c) the

Abstract:

This study confronts the ethical crisis in machine translation (MT) caused by the systematic erosion of cultural semantics and symbolic integrity. While current MT systems achieve high technical performance (e.g., 72.3 BLEU scores in WMT2022), they fail to preserve cultural-contextual nuances, with 34.8% mistranslation rates for culturally loaded terms and 73% semantic reduction for low-resource language symbols. Through deconstructive analysis of Saussure’s arbitrariness principle and Wittgenstein’s language game theory, we demonstrate how algorithmic compression of dynamic semantic networks

Abstract:

This paper explores the intricate challenges of translating modern Hindi drama into English, emphasizing the translator’s ethical responsibilities and cultural sensitivity. Drama, as a genre, intertwines textual and performative elements, making its translation particularly complex. This paper focuses on Mohan Rakesh's Aadhe Adhure and Bhisham Sahni's Madhavi to examine how translators navigate the balance between fidelity to the source text and adaptation to the target language and culture. The study employs theoretical frameworks from Rita Kothari, Mona Baker, Lawrence Venuti, and Anthony Py

Abstract:

Much has been written about the ethics of medical interpreting, but not so much about purely written translation. What moral principles apply (or should apply) when I translate a document for a client? Do I need to invent these principles myself, or is there help available? In this article I explore the personal moral principles we might apply to our work, and the institutional backup that is available, for instance the Institute of Translation and Interpreting’s Code of Conduct. I explore what a code of ethics for medical translators might look like.

The article is devoted to the study of the author’s style of Umberto Eco in the novel “The Prague Cemetery”, linguo-stylistic aspects of the translation, problems of equivalence of the lexical units, translation of composed words, respect of translational ethics. The translation of the works by Umberto Eco requires careful translational transformations, because this author possesses a remarkable author’s style of narration requiring accurate selection of lingual (lexical) equivalents.
