What is financial translation? Definition of its concept through the application of different parameters
Keywords:
financial translation, economic translation, discourse and translation, curriculum development.
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the features of financial translation to clarify this concept and help establish the basis of what should be included in a financial translation program. To achieve this, Hatim & Mason’s model (1990) will be applied to financial translation in order to study the features of this type of specialization and compare and contrast it with economic translation. The results show that even though fixed barriers between the two types of specialization cannot be established, there are specific characteristics that define financial translation, which entails implications for the profession and for curriculum development.Downloads
