Source Text Quality in the Workflow of Translation Agencies

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper aims to investigate the workflow in translation agencies (TAs) with respect to source text (ST) quality, which is not always optimal. Based on a review of ST related provisions of relevant quality standards, a questionnaire survey was performedamong twenty-four participating Czech TAs. The results suggest that ST quality is indeed an important concern in the translation process. Even though they are analysed at the initial stage by TAs, technical issues and lower linguistic level related defects in STs are less likely to negatively affect the quality of target texts (TTs). On the other hand, terminology, understandability, and style related defects constitute problems throughout the whole process of translation, with the potential to negatively affect the quality of TTs. Therefore, more attention should be paid to these defect categories. Additional results show that the number of defect categories analysed initially is not inversely proportional to the number of TT defect c
