Il problema della traduzione e il “linguaggio dell‟ineffabile” nella Commedia di Dante in rapporto alla traduzione russa del poema

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> Our paper is considering some aspects of audiovisual translation, with a certain emphasis on cultural characteristics. The most common means used for text translation are dubbing (post-synchronisation) and subtitling, and the focus of this research lies on the former. It is well-known that foreign films are dubbed in Italian and dialogues in Italian are translated and adapted differently by comparison with the original version. Film translation is a phenomenon made of two different parts: translation and cinema. Actually, it applies its mains techniques for transposing the linguistic unit of a film from the source language to the target one. Therefore, the word “translation” takes into account literary texts but also all kinds of texts (including scripts). We propose to underline the importance and the complexity of dubbing and to consider the particularity of dubbed Italian, with the bias of specific characteristics of Italian adaptations. </abstract>

The paper illustrates the Romanian solutions in translating Italian baroque poetry represented by Giambattista Marino and his XVII century followers: redundancy, enumeration, mythological allusions, extravagant <italic>concettos</italic>, syntactic puzzles and the restrictions imposed by the hendecasyllable.

The aim of this article is to analyze how French cultural allusions and wordplays in advertising slogans can be transposed into Romanian. Drawing on a series of concepts and theoretical observations concerning the field of advertising translation, we will outline the difficulties, the constraints, and the main strategies involved in this particular kind of translation. Secondly, we would like to analyze some concrete examples of advertising campaigns initiated in France and exported to Romania. Thirdly, we will examine the translation/localization of the advertising slogans into Romanian and we will discuss the solutions found by the translators to overcome the linguistic and the cultural difficulties raised by the translation process.

This paper focuses upon the translatorꞌs role as a language mediator in professional communication. During the translation process, terminological knowledge is essential since the information conveyed by a scientific and technical writing is encoded in terms which give access to more elaborate knowledge structures. Additionally, the translator faces situations in which a term is borrowed either from the general language or from a field of knowledge and utilized in another field. Therefore, the main challenges encountered by a translator are: identifying the terms, understanding the termsꞌ meaning, finding the suitable termsꞌ correspondents in the target language.

Despite the fact that, as renowned translators such as Anthony Pym (2009) or, in the Slovak cultural context, Katarína Bednárová (2015) have stated, the history of translation cannot be written without considering who those who made the interpretation and understanding of the translated works possible were, the reality is that, in general terms, translators continue to be the great unknowns. For this reason, in this article, we have set out to investigate the figures of those men and women whose work made it possible for Slovak literature to reach a particular Spanish-speaking reading public, that of Cuba, in a specific period of history, that between 1960 and 1989.

The first Hungarian translations of Dante’s masterpiece have been published starting from the mid-19th Century. Among these translations, the most important and successful has been the one by Mihály Babits (published between 1912 and 1922). During the 20th century, several other translations were published, but in anthologies or in an incomplete form. Within this frame and tradition, university professor and translator Ádám Nádasdy (born 1947) published, in 2016, his own Dante translation, in unrhymed iambic pentameter. This paper aims to present the Hungarian translations of <italic>Divina Commedia</italic>, focusing on the characteristics of the latest one, by Ádám Nádasdy.

“To become a translator takes infinite work” Interview with Sean Cotter

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> The new discipline of translation studies clearly finds itself downstream among humanities and traditional disciplines. Essentially interdisciplinary, this “science” lends those major disciplines a fair amount of its methods and concepts. Within this interdisciplinary concert, history plays a crucial role: history of translation (or history of translations) and history as such. Therefore, a methodological research triangle must integrate the following three components: a) translation studies theory; b) different translation practices that form its object of study and which it is called upon to clarify; c) the poles of the couple theory / practice will be re-situated in the logic of their respective common history. </abstract>

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> In the novel Vengeance du traducteur, Brice Matthieussent focuses on the translator-author relationship and tackles the question from the point of view of the translator’s note. The author is eventually murdered by the translator out of revenge, not only in symbolical terms but also in literal terms. A given aesthetics of translation is thereby conveyed, going through stages of appropriation, digestion, transportation and transgression of text and translation rules, which nonetheless does not necessarily reflect the author’s genuine stand, a famous translator himself. </abstract>
