Translation Performance, Translation Process, and Translation Strategies

An Encyclopaedia of Translation

Language-specific entries relate to the interaction between the Chinese-speaking and English-speaking communities of Hong Kong. At the same time, the work draws on Western knowledge and experience with translation studies in general. This book is a valuable reference for translators, scholars, and students of translation studies.

In the two main contributions it is argued that all decisions in the translation process are primarily governed by norms. The explanatory power of a norm-based theory of translation is then critically reflected upon in the debates and the responses.
