The new edition of this comprehensive course in Spanish-English translation offers advanced students of Spanish a challenging yet practical approach to the acquisition of translation skills, with clear explanations of the theoretical issues involved.

A variety of translation issues are addressed, including:

    • cultural differences

    • register and dialect

    • grammatical differences

    • genre.

    With a sharper focus, clearer definitions and an increased emphasis on up-to-date ‘real world’ translation tasks, this second edition features a wealth of relevant illustrative material taken from a wide range of sources, both Latin American and Spanish, including:

      • technical, scientific and legal texts

      • journalistic and informative texts

      • literary and dramatic texts.

      Each chapter includes suggestions for classroom discussion and a set of practical exercises designed to explore issues and consolidate skills. Model translations, notes and suggestions for teaching and assessment are provided in a Teachers’ Handbook; this is available for free download at http://www.routledge.com/cw/thinkingtranslation/

      Thinking Spanish Translation is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Spanish and translation studies. The book will also appeal to a wide range of language students and tutors through the general discussion of the principles and purposes of translation.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Very important guidelines for serious translators
      Reviewed in the United States on 25 October 2011
      Verified Purchase
      For those of us who are native Spanish speakers and who have adopted English as a second language, verbal communication in English may come as second nature. As perfectly or imperfectly as we may express ourselves, we negotiate our living environment and consider ourselves bilingual. But when we are required to produce high quality written translations in English, we are forced to rely not only in our intuition of both languages but into some guidelines that will assist us into producing translations that not only will withstand the scrutiny of critics but that rely the message accurately. I wish I had had the opportunity of taking the course, but the book 'Thinking Spanish Translation - A course in translation method: Spanish to English' gives solid basis to our intuitions of the language, it gives us reasons to the how and why of choosing one word over another in a translation. The book gives guidelines for scientific and technical translations; legal and financial translations; and translations of consumer-oriented texts, among others. This is not a book to be read lightly or in one sitting, it is to be carefully studied and considered and there are plenty of examples and exercises if one wishes to practice.

      I am dedicated to translations, this book has allowed me to narrow down basic guidelines that will make my translations more accurate, more readable and more fluid.
