11. Translation
Buying a non-commodity
Buying
a
transla/on
service
is
not
like
buying
a
commodity
(like
most
products
you
buy
in
a
supermarket
:
ugar,
milk,
water,
etc.)
s
There
are
many
factors
involved
when
one
needs
a
transla/on:
• language
specifica/on
• type
of
document:
contract,
user
manual,
Web
page,
brochure…
• translator
exper/se
• intended
readers
(the
target)
:
teenage
gamers,
gene/c
researchers,
patent
agents,
mister
anybody?
• regional
varia/on
of
target
language
(eg.
Spanish
from
SP
or
MEX?)
THESE
ARE
THE
SPECIFICATIONS
FOR
THE
TRANSLATION
