Translating a book http://www.proz.com/forum/translation_theory_and_practice/219734-translating_a_book.html

" If you are comfortable enough with both the language and the content of the source use a speech recognition program. You read the text to yourself and say into the micro what you think it should be in the target language.

You can always make notes as to where you're having trouble and revise it later."

"So, if the book to be translated is a work of fiction, I would suggest doing it like people did it in the Stone Age, i.e. by reading a sentence from the book and typing the translation into your computer. Unless the topic starter wanted to save some time by putting the soft copy of the book through Google Translate..."

"I'm currently translating a novel

It's been given to me in Word format but it still means going word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph... I really don't think it makes much difference whether the original is on paper or in an electronic format; the work goes on inside your brain!

I had planned to translate two pages a day but I admit I'm 30 pages off schedule! I thought that when I got further into the book, I would be able to make better progress but translating is definitely not the same as reading for enjoyment - although I admit I like the book!

There are other projects with strict deadlines that need to be done and I've discovered that if I want to produce a decent piece of work, I can't do more than a certain number of pages of the novel at a time.

If you're translating a novel, I wish you good luck. I'm sure all the effort involved will be worth it in the end."

page 33, footnote 9

"The rule of thumb for any translation is, in my opinion, to say everything the original says, not to say anything the original does not say, and to say everything with the accuracy and naturalness that the source language allows. The first two norms involve and demand complete faithfulness to the content; the third allows for the necessary liberty in style. The difficulty resides in applying the three at the same time. Whoever can do this justifiably merits the title of excellent translator."
