Молодежь о проблемах изучения иностранных языков в современном мире

Translation is a special skill that professionals work hard to develop.

When an advanced translator takes on a job they keep in mind the numerous aspects that go beyond simply translating the literal English translation. These aspects include:

•  Cultural nuances

•  Document structure

•  Context

•  Composition

•  Accurate dialect/colloquialism

•  Understood target audience

Why is English Translation Difficult?

There are several, unique aspects of the English language that cause English translation into another language to be quite challenging.

One of these difficulties includes the verb-adverb concept that is distinct to English. This concept includes combinations like “turn on,” “turn off,” “mark up,” or “mark down.” It can be quite difficult for translators to reflect this as other languages only use single specific verbs instead of the English verb-adverb combinations.

Another reason English translation into another language is so difficult is because of how English incorporates articles.

Even though nearly every Western European languages use articles, a significant amount of other languages do not.

English Translation to Spanish Translation.

In the translation process, a significant detail a translator must take into account is the target market. This is especially critical when it comes to Spanish translations, since there are so many countries and cultures where it is spoken with subtle differences.

Despite the fact that some say there is a universal Spanish language that can be attained by using general terminology (understood in most regions), it is known that each country or region has its own colloquialism, unique expressions, ways of addressing people, and ways of using tenses.

This is undoubtedly the chief feature that should be kept in mind when translating an English translation into Spanish. Translating for a market in Spain is vastly different than translating for a market in Argentina, Mexico or the Spanishspeaking community in the US.

English Translation of Proverbs.

Proverbs, clichеs and idioms are a notable examples that displays the process and complexities of English translation. This is especially pertinent in languages that belong to different families like English and Arabic. If there is no exact equivalent, the translator must find a suitable translation. This is why it is so important for the translator to translate from his/her mother tongue.
