Procedures of translating culture-specific concepts (CSCs)

In the translation exercise there are several issues; however, according to the last content checked in class we could say that the most notorious difficulty is...

• The vocabulary needed to make an appropiate translation because one word can be translated in lots of different ways.

• The context of the ST because without it, the effective reproduction of the message into the TT would be a mess.

• The breach amid SL and TL since there's a variety of differences between languages.

• The knowledge of grammar and semantics SL because translations works as a whole, and without a strong knowledge of it, the translation would have a lack of sense.

It can be said the the main dissimilarity between SL and TL is...

• The grammar and vocabulary. It all behaves differently.

• The variation of dimention

• The cultural distinction since it make the translation a real defiance.

• The origin. Because words from other languages can be used in translations and borrowing or naturalization.

Which of the following is not a proposal of Graedler to translate cultural-bound-terms

• Try to find different kind of equivalences for the cultural-related words.

• Explain the meaning of the words or expressions instead of translating them.

• Preserve the word intact or find another which meaning gets very close

• Explain the word and proceed to leave with original without modifying it.

According to Harvey funtional equivalence, which is a procedure that consists on finding a word which function is very similar in the TL, should be avoided in formal translation of CBT.

• True

• False

When the formal equivalence is considered as insuffiently clear...

• Cultural-bound-terms are not used and rather some generic terms are used and the word is explain.

• Cultural-bound-terms are used and rather some generic terms are used, so there's no need to explain.

• Cultural-bound-terms are not used. So, some generic words are used instead to avoid redundancy.

• Cultural-bound-terms can be used. It is up to the translator and the type of public the TT is being aimed to.
