How do we establish a translation project?
There are a number of matters which include the text, the target, the team, and the tools which need to be clearly understood before beginning a translation project.
*Text refers to the source language document which is to be translated
*Target refers to the audience. For whom is the translation being prepared?
*Team refers to the people who will be involved in the project. The team may consist of
1) co-translator, where one is a specialist in the source language and the other a specialist in the receptor language,
2) a translator with capability to handle both source language and receptor language matters and ad advisor or consultant,
3) a committee working together with specific responsibilities delegated to each one.
*Tools refers to the written source materials which will be used by the translators as helps. These include dictionaries, lexicons, grammars, cultural descriptions, etc.
