Eugene Nida (1914-2011)

The Concept of Translation Process

According to Eugene Nida(1964)
The process of translating will not be able
appropriately based on meaning found in
the dictionary but also the context of
situation and context based of the texts as
well. By the same token, the process of
translation refers to the automatic use of
the translators knowledge of his native
language structure which is transferred into
the target language.

Eugene Nida (1964)

Model of the stages in the translation process

Example
Source text:
He said, I am the voice of one crying in
the wilderness.
Target text:
l dijo, yo soy la vos de uno llorando
en el desierto..

Betty M. Colonomos

Colonomos divides the interpreting process

into three broad steps.

Example
Depth of processing (ASL to English)

Source Language:
Up-to- now me struggle over time. solve? (headshake).
do-do? push-aside-to left, to-heck-with-left.
Lexical level of processing (word for word)

Target Language:
Up to now I struggle and struggle. Can I solve it? Uh-uh. Get rid
of it. Darn it.
Phrasal level of processing (phrase for phrase)

Target Language:
I have been struggling with it. I doubt that Ill solve it. Just
forget it.
Sentential level of processing (idea by idea)

Target Language:
Since theres nothing I can do, I might as well forget about it.

The interpreting Process, Betty Colonomos, 1997

Valentn Garca Yebra

Translation as a process
The translator Valentn Yebra deals with the
theory of translation from a linguistic point
of view, so you see that process as the
replacement of units of a code by another.
Part of the idea of translation theory has to
be focused on linguistics, because the
translation is exercised on written texts,
with as set of signs that the translator must
understand in the source language and
reexpress it in the target language.

Theory and practice of translation

In his book , Theory and practice of
translation, Valentin recognizes two
phases in the process of translation:
the comprehension of the source text
and the expression of the message or
content in the target language.

Model of translation process, Valentin G.

Example
Source text:
He said, I am the voice of one crying in
the wilderness, make straight the way of
the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. (John
1:23)
Target Text:
Dijo: Yo soy la voz de uno que clama en
el desierto: enderezad el camino del
Seor, como dijo el profeta. (Juan1:23)

Example
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the
wilderness (source text)
El dijo, yo soy la voz de uno llorando en el
desierto. (decodification)
Crying in this case means to shout loudly
and not to produce tears (Source text
comprehention)
Dijo: yo soy la voz de uno que clama en el
desierto (redecodification and target
the text expression)
