THE MEANING OF TRANSLATION IN THE PAST
It was an art or an amused activity done just by vocational activities and not by professional obligations

WHAT DOES TRANSLATION MEAN NOW A DAYS?
It is an intellectual activity based on the use of certain specific techniques
It demands the the translator recovering the sense of the messege in a fast, clear, faithful and right way
It is to communicate a message in the target language that can be read by the readership

It is to analyse the text with the purpose of
Examining the textual function of the text to translate
Making sure which linguistic resources are more appropriate for the translation

To reproduce an equivalent message in the target language(Nidia and Taber)
To rewrite a text in S.L for another in the T.L(Catford)
It is to keep in mind the readership

It is to compare the morfological and lexical aspects between the languages to find coincidences and and divergencies

THREE KINDS OF TRANSLATION SEGÚN JAKOBSON
Intralinguistic translation or reformulation
interlinguistic translation
Intersemiotic translation or transmutation

WHAT CAN TRANSLATION IMPLY?
Intralinguistic translation vs interlinguistic translation
The translation of isolated words or phrases vs the translation of authentic texts
Translation vs interpretation
Translation as process vs translation as a product

THE RAISE
Lots of international communication
To shorten distance
To abolish borders
The richness and diversity of languages
Difficulties to convert a message in another equivalent one

To convert the translation theory into a everydaylife practice by trying to create “universal” translation models

AS A WAY OF CONCLUSION
Translation is a communication act whose main purpose is to reproduce the sense of any message by creating another equivalent one
