E-ging Solutions is a world-leading Shanghai translation company with specialties in Equivalence translation.
The art of translation has had a very long history.
Debates on whether translation service is
'possible' or 'impossible' have led the people interested in translation to
think on the aspect of faithfulness and fidelity in translation and later on to
questions like whether translations are to be literal or liberal, etc. Some
tend to dwell on this - question of literal and liberal.
They say that the two are incompatible, i.e., what
is 'beautiful' cannot be 'faithful' and what is 'faithful' can not be
'beautiful'.
The first step in the process of translating a
source language text is to find suitable equivalents in the target language.
The term 'equivalence' is actually a key term in
translation and it has been defined variously by different scholars.
Any 'good' or 'accurate' translation presupposes
an 'exact' or 'correct' equivalence being rendered at linguistic, extra
linguistic and paralinguistic levels in the target language.
Equivalence translation is one of the topics
disputed about the translation theories.
