Overview

This volume brings together a selection of papers presented at the ninth International Conference on Translation and Interpreting and is dedicated to the work of Jiri Levi and Anton Popovic. It focuses on the role played by translators' strategies and their creativity in the translation process. Contributors reflect upon Levi's thinking on translation as a communication process and on Popovic's insistence on the importance of re-creating a text both at the surface and deep levels. Examples are drawn from literary, technical and audiovisual translations and from interpreting. The authors argue that translation is a decision-making process and that translation teachers should help students develop an understanding of translation strategies and the vital role that creativity plays throughout the translation/interpreting process.
