About the Journal

The Journal Traduction et Langues TRANSLANG (Translation and Languages) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed, bi-annual and free of charge, open-access journal edited by University of Oran2. The published works in the journal were more directed to German with a clear orientation towards translation. From 2010 onwards, TRANSLANG becomes multidisciplinary and more languages are present: English, Arabic, French, Spanish, and Russian, and the work between translation and languages is balanced. In 2020, TRANSLANG is indexed, its staff is characterized by the international dimension which gives the journal more credibility. In 2022, TRANSLANG is updated and specialized in Translation and Language studies, as part of the High-Quality Research (HQR) framework. The themes addressed today are particularly related to the reflection on translation as a process, especially the translation of specialized texts (technical, literary, artistic), on the interpreting process (simultaneous, consecutive, community), on the cognitive aspects of translation, history of translation, didactics and pedagogy, translatology, and terminology as well as languages and linguistic studies. The journal publishes original research and survey articles, it aims at promoting international scholarly exchanges among researchers, academics, and practitioners to foster intercultural communication by providing insights into local and global languages and cultures. The journal is published twice a year starting from 2010, the first was edited in 2002 one issue a year by University of Oran. The quality of the manuscripts is not the only criterion for acceptance; the criterion of novelty/originality is also necessary for publication. TRANSLANG favours various methodologies, argumentative, empirical, scientometric, etc. TRANSLANG aims to offer visibility to researchers in translation and Language studies from the Maghreb, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the West.

The editors and reviewers of TRANSLANG Journal endeavour to provide a rigorous and transparent peer review process to ensure that the highest quality of research is published.

The reviewers evaluate the manuscripts in terms of scope, quality, originality, accuracy of results, validity of methodology, and interest for the readership.
• The Editor-in-Chief sends the manuscripts to the associate editor to be sent again to two experts in the fields for a rigorous peer-review. This is an important step of the review process as the constructive feedback given will help improve the quality of the submitted manuscripts.  
• When the two reviews have been received, the editor-in-chief will consider the experts’ opinions, comments, and criticisms to authors.
• If the decision is for minor revision, authors will be required to revise their manuscripts according to the reviewers’ orientations.
• When submitting the revised versions of manuscripts, authors must ensure the revised manuscripts go along with the reviewers’ required amendments.
