Peculiarities of Translation Russian to Foreign Languages

Write-up by Kevin Popazogalo

Distinct character of translation from Russian into the foreign language On the norms of United Nations a transfer into every language can achieve only the translator, for whom this language is native ( the carrier of language). I.e., in the Chinese transfers only translator- Chinese, in the French – Frenchman, and so forth That devised this rule had the valid reasons. The reality is that there is an enormous difference between the transfer from the foreign to the native language and from the native to the foreign. With the transfer into the foreign it is needed to feel in the foreign language. On a whole series of factors to so that translate to the foreign language always significantly far more challenging than vice versa: a) with the transfer into the foreign language will start to operate only active lexical reserve with the transfer into the native language also is employed the passive lexicon (i.e. such words, which we themselves we do not use, but we recognize them in the strange speech). In each and every individual active dictionary is often much less than the passive. Thus, it is needed more often to look in the dictionary. b) one and the same grammatical construction or 1 and the identical word of the Russian language can be transmitted by numerous versions of the constructions/of the words of foreign language, and vice versa. The selection of essential construction or most suitable synonym occurs automatically with the transfer into the native (Russian) language. With the transfer into the foreign it is required to accurately know the thin distinction between the synonyms, to know the limits of the applicability of a variety of revolutions and the like, which is not often obtained. c) to majority to translators a lot more complexly to print on the roman alphabet (specifically if this is the language like the French, in which numerous modified letters), and so forth As a result it turns out that transfer into the foreign language stands much more pricey than on the native, and it is carried out much more slowly (7-8 pages in the course of the day against 10 in the Russian). Moreover, now and then into the foreign language to 100% adequately transfer it can only the carrier of language. Or translator need to numerous years work with the carriers of language, in the ideal – to live in the country of this language (in the lingual environment), to feel and to dream in the foreign language – only then its transfer will be received by entirely adequate. Possibly, this in the smaller measure concerns technical transfer but to adequately translate advertising and juridical texts to the foreign language is extremely complicated. Naturally, everything said it relates also to the foreigners, who translate to the Russian language. For me it was repeatedly required to see similar transfers. In them, it would seem, grammatically and lexical all or almost all correctly, are correct. Nevertheless, but that to make, if we cannot draw translator- foreigner, but it is essential to transfer the materials (let us assume Internet internet site), which will read the potential clients, i.e., text should call in, and not repulse? By output can serve the editing of text as the carrier of language. A lot of bureaus of transfers enable such services. As a rule, at the output you will obtain such text that any foreigner, looking at it, will not say that this is translation from the strange language. Here only price of this service is really high and compared with the cost of transfer by Russian translator. Nevertheless, taking into account high prices on the European market for transfers, to return text to the transfer will abroad leave still a lot more costly. But if budget or particular character of order do not make it possible to resort to the aid of the carrier of language, then in this case of Russian translator it is essential to check particularly thoroughly. Many translators normally prefer to translate only to the native (i.e. Russian) language. But if translator undertook to transfer to the foreign, then 1st attempt it on the small paragraph (or on 1 page) and give result to the experimental or, it is much better, to the carrier of language. By the way, testing by the tiny fragment of text is accepted to pass free of charge. If German (Englishman, Japanese so forth) says that this text in his native language is written competently, which means, with the selected translator it is feasible to work. As you themselves comprehend, to know the Russian language to this checking foreigner is not totally compulsory.
