Types of Translation
- Translation can be categorized into different types, as proposed by Roman Jakobson.
- Interlingual translation is the process of translating between two or more languages.
- This type of translation involves translating individual words, phrases, sentences, and texts from one language to another.
- Examples of interlingual translation include:
- Translating "شجرة" to "tree".
- Translating "على الطاولة" to "on the table".
- Translating "صباح الخير" to "Good morning".
- Translating "He is a hard/tough nut to crack" to "هو بندقة يصعُب كسرها" or "إنّه شخص يصعب التعامل معه" or "شخص عص ّبها في مواقف معيّنة".
- Interlingual translation can also involve translating idiomatic expressions, such as "شخص ال يسبر أغواره أحد" to convey the same meaning in the target language.
