“…It creates the combination of various disciplinary knowledge, methods and methodologies. The discussion of specific problems and the coordination of research protocols, the justification of the pedagogical system necessary for the professional training of future translators/interpreters requires the implementation of a transdisciplinary approach as far as it provides the possibility to cross boundaries of separate discipline and widen national educational formats (Karnedi, 2015).…”

The paper aims to explore the impact of interdisciplinarity on sight translation training in scientific and technical domains. The authors concentrate on the distinctive features of transdisciplinarity and explain the concept of "weak" (used as a practical means) and "strong" transdisciplinarity (complex impact through several levels of reality). 80 future translators/interpreters took part in the research. The results of educational process observations during sight translation classes are presented. Three levels of competences in translating and interpreting (high, medium and low) are identified to conduct the quantitative and qualitative analysis of experimental data during sight translation training. The theoretical and practical analyses, generalisation and mathematical statistics methods were used to stipulate the impact of transdisciplinarity on sight translation training. This research has clearly shown that application of a transdisciplinary approach gives future translators/interpreters opportunity to receive cross-sectorial training in specific fields. Transdisciplinary in sight translation trainings has a positive impact on the development of students' professional identity.

“…This argument, which has since been built on by other scholars such as Karnedi (2015) and Bordet (2016), understands the hegemony of the English language in the globalized world as a form of 'linguistic imperialism' (cf. Pennycook, 1994;Phillipson, 1992), leading toward an epistemological monoculture in which alternative knowledges would have no place (Bennett, 2015).…”

Translating knowledge in the multilingual paradigm: Beyond epistemicide

The term ‘epistemicide’ was first coined by the Portuguese sociologist, Boaventura de Sousa Santos to refer to the systematic eradication by western science of the indigenous knowledges of the Global South. It was later applied to translation by Bennett in order to describe the way that academic texts produced in non-Anglophone cultures often have to be so radically rewritten for publication in international journals that their epistemological infrastructure is effectively destroyed. The long-term consequences of this process included, it was argued, a drift toward an epistemological monoculture, as scholarly discourses in other languages assimilated to the dominant one through a process of calquing. This argument was developed at a time when the hegemony of English appeared unassailable in the world of academic publishing and beyond. Since then, however, the multi- or translingual paradigm has profoundly challenged this assumption. This article focuses on how knowledge is generated and disseminated within this new paradigm and its implications for Translation Studies. Considering the prevalence, in this domain, of second-language writing, self-translation and paratranslational activities (like language revision and editing), and the demands of a readership with multilingual competence, it suggests that a much broader concept of translation might now be in order.

Translating economic terms is a challenging task since the translator needs to understand economics and be able to convey the concepts to the target language. In translating economic books for lay readers, the translator also needs to consider the lexical choice so that the target readers can understand the translation easily. This study aims to analyze the translation procedures applied in the translation of economic terms in the book The Psychology of Money written by Morgan Housel and to find out whether the translation is oriented to the source language or the target language. The data in this study were analyzed qualitatively by using the taxonomy of translation procedures by Vinay and Darbelnet. The results showed that there were seven translation procedures applied in the translation of economic terms: borrowing, calque, literal translation, a combination of borrowing and literal translation, transposition, equivalence, and combination of transposition and borrowing. The literal translation is the most dominant translation procedure applied to translate economic terms. Based on the analysis of the translation procedures, it can be concluded that the translation of economic terms in this study is oriented to the source language.
