Directionality in Translation: Qualitative Aspects of Translation from and into English as a Non-Mother Tongue

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article presents the results of a translation experiment investigating directionality in translation between Czech and English. A set of 80 translations (of two text types - promotional and legal -, produced by two groups of translators - translation students in the second year of their MA studies and professionals with at least 7 years of practical experience -, in two directions) was analysed to explore various aspects related to the quality of translations from and into the translators&apos; mother tongue. The overall quality of translations into Czech, i.e. the translators&apos; mother tongue, was generally better than the quality of translations done in the opposite direction. Legal texts turn out to be more compatible with non-native translation than promotional texts. A positive influence of the translators&apos; previous experience was only observed in translations into Czech. Data on error types confirm the assumption that translation from a non- mother tongue involves more comprehension problems; stylistic errors were the most frequent type in all four sets of translations.
