Cutting Edge Strategies For Training Translators In A Global Age

Authors : Amine Belmekki .

Abstract

Problems of translation in this multilingual globalised environment have attracted increasing attention in recent years. It is argued that translating languages, whether in the multiculturalism of society or in the plurilingualism of the individual, do not exist in a vacuum. Thus, within any translation pedagogy, training translators is placed at the top priority. Based on the assumption that translators seem to be unaware of the potential influence translations can have in shaping cultures, forming national identities, and chronicling ideological shifts, the present paper maps how may training translators have an impact on translation teaching, i.e., it tries to bridge the gap in translation and cross out the possible barriers that may cause mistranslation of information in the target culture, and thus, in the target language.
