The Authoritativeness of Translations
This article addresses 'authoritativeness' of translations as an issue which merits interest. The first example, an Internet translation, is used to illustrate that traditional Translation Studies concepts do not always adequately describe many factors and phenomena in translation. The present article is an attempt to show that more forces are at play. Translation is discussed as a process which, from a 'text', creates a 'translation', and it is …
The names in Harry Potter
This article discusses the translation of some of the names in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter books into five languages. It is argued that these names are found in different dimensions, viz. (a) a British one where the author addresses a British audience, (b) the translator's perception and interpretation of this British universe, and (c) one in which readers respond to the realisations of the names in the target culture. The names are loosely divi…

Loss’ and ‘gain’ in comics
This article discusses translations of comics, a topic rarely dealt with in Translation Studies, with specific reference to ‘loss ‘ and ‘gain ‘. It is suggested that —for the purpose of a cogent discussion ‐ we may distinguish between gain with loss’ and ‘gain without loss’. Translations of comics represent a special challenge in that, in order to be successful, they have to actively interplay with illustrations as well as genre elements, i.e. ‘h…
Translation for Reading Aloud
The article takes a look at the translation of children's literature intended for reading aloud. The pragmatic (or theoretical) point of departure is a 'narrative contract' between the child (audience) and the reader as in the oral tradition of yesteryear. It is therefore argued that, at least initially, children's literature for reading aloud was a continuation of the narrative tradition in the extended family adapted to the conditions and mores…
Translation and power at the European union
The present article discusses the topic of ‘power and translation’ at European Union institutions. The article starts by warning against over‐generalising any one particular translation situation, and advocates the need for taking into account some of the major differences between countries, between various epochs in history, as well as the translators’ foreign‐language abilities. The article then addresses very specific ‘language and power’ issu…
Co‐prints and translation
The article points out that in Western countries where minor languages are spoken, the number of books produced in international cooperation is steadily increasing. These are books which are illustrated, and they range from modest children's books to lavish coffee table books meant for display and admiration. They are characterised by being produced by one ‘supranational’ publisher who first negotiates with national distributors and then has the …
Complexities of EU language work
The article discusses some of the numerous parameters that must be taken into account in studies of language work at European Union institutions, let alone the European Union. Initially listing the central EU institutions, which in their totality constitute the international organisation with the largest language staff, the article proceeds to discuss diachronic and synchronic views of the language scene. Then it deals with the translation proced…

Teaching Translation and Interpreting 2
Selected papers from this second conference on Translator and Interpreter Training. With contributions from five continents, the articles deal with global challenges, taking into account the role of the translator in societies knit together by one tongue and those in which languages are the repostitories of national cultures, such as India. The main merit of this volume is that it shows how translator training is tackled in the main translator tr…

'Sprogtest'
This article deals with a Danish English-language reading proficiency test. It is dubbed 'Sprogtest' which means 'language test'. Since English textbooks are used extensively in Denmark, the test is offered to freshman students in order to diagnose weaknesses which may impede the undergraduates' academic careers. The test has to be anonymous and convincing to those who use it. In order to facilitate the immediate assessment of what parts can be t…
Interlingual transfers and issues in translatology
Using a simple model of communication for dealing with types of interlingual transfer, the author lists the most prominent forms. The discussion shows how technology, however primitive, as welt as improvements in education, have farthered the development of the language professions. It points out that subtle relationships exist between various types of interlingual transfer and the prestige and importance accorded to them, and that local traditio…
