Meaning-Based Translation

Summary: Translation from A-Z
Review: Here's a book for anyone interested in learning more about the wide range of topics involved in translation. The author applies her years of practical field-based translation (and linguistic) experience to explain the various ways ideas are expressed in the world's languages. Although the author uses many English examples, she also refers to dozens of other languages as they illustrate a point.

An interesting addition to the normal texts on translation is a chapter on checking and improving a translation from first draft through to publication.

A helpful index and an extensive bibliography complete the volume.
