Freelance Translation In Algeria: An Investigation Of The Status, Needs, And Training Challenges
Authors : Djeffal Sofiane .
Abstract
The present paper reports on an investigation of the status of freelance translation in Algeria. It sketches out the main issues and hurdles related to freelancing regarding the Algerian market. Hence, it handles the threefold challenge consisting in training (appropriate syllabus design in translation), market organizing (developing platforms of freelancing and facilitating translators’ interventions), and ethical implications considering (legal and institutional texts). For the sake of the study, an e-survey was delivered to former graduates of translation from different Algerian Universities. The study expects that translation training programs do not take into account freelancing techniques and skills though it is the most prominent type that translators discover once graduated. Among the main findings of this study: there is a huge hiatus between translation training and translation market in Algeria regarding freelancing; and the fact that this type of profession is still unknown for most translation graduates.
