Translation Quality Assessment
Original language description
There is no doubt that translation quality assessment (TQA) represents a significant research area at present. Translation quality has always been, however, a controversial issue, which has brought about division rather than unity between translation scholars. Bowker (2000, p. 183) states that “evaluation is one of the most problematic areas of translation.” Moreover, it is not a topic which reverberates only in the world of academia. Quite the opposite. The issue of translation quality and evaluation has also been gaining importance in professional and commercial settings. Given its growing importance in today’s globalized world and given the impact that translation has had on cultures and language communities, it comes as no surprise that Chesterman (quoted in Zehnalová [2013, p. 15]) has singled out translation quality as one of the main areas of current and further research. Thus, the objective of the present paper is to embrace the topic of translation evaluation, with a particular focus on the recent development of this research area, zooming in on Juliane House’s model of TQA and her view of translation as re-contextualization.
