9th Portsmouth Translation Conference

The Translator as Writer

University of Portsmouth, 7th November 2009

The expertise of the translator manifests itself in two key ways:
firstly in terms of subject expertise (e.g. specialised domains such as
law, music or telecommunications) and secondly in terms of skill sets
(translation activities such as pre-editing, post-editing, gist
translation etc.). This expertise is deployed through the translator’s
primary skill: writing in the target language.
