Screams in the Quality Jungle
Like taxes, the question of translation quality seems to return to haunt us with almost predictable regularity, causing not only chronic headaches, but also what are some of the fiercest and most divisive arguments in the language services industry. Even as this article is being written, an emotionally charged dispute on translation quality, translator quality and the future (if any) of the “profession” is raging in CompuServe’s FLEFO forum. This article looks at a number of the issues behind this debate – some of which have very little, if anything, to do with translation quality – and attempts to reconcile the different views to produce more balanced proposals for solving the “quality problem”.  The remainder of this article is available only to LISA members and Newsletter subscribers. Please log in with your user name and password to read the entire article.
