Challenges Faced by Medical Translators
نویسنده
چکیده
Translation problems arise both from differences between language systems and from conceptual differences, since not all languages have terms to refer to different notions. Apart from this, medical language is a variety of language appropriate to different occasions and situations of use: it serves for the doctor-patient communication, it covers the area of communication from specialist to specialist and it also addresses the general public in the form of popular magazine articles. Since translators may be unfamiliar with the concepts of scientific texts, they can easily misconstrue the syntax thus making the TT senseless. This paper aims to investigate some problems that medical translators face and to offer solutions for successful translations.
