The aim of this book is to present a specific framework for dealing with recurring translation problems in a number of genres that are frequently translated. On the basis of illustrative sample texts, the decisions taken in the production of the target texts are commented on in the light of the specified translation assignments. The texts are grouped according to types and genres and the annotations provide a detailed account of relevant translation decision-making processes. The readership of this book is primarily students of translation and novices in the field. The texts, and in particular, the annotations, may be used by translator trainers in classroom situations. Practising translators may also find this book helpful. By focusing on recurring translation problems and illustrating the translation strategies applied, the book demonstrates that critical reflection on a translation assignment will help translators make informed decisions.
