Abstract

The 18 contributions in this volume deal with text analysis, text types and technical translation, contrastive grammar and its importance for translation, cultural contrasts and their role in text interpretation. Translational competence therefore is not the innate or learned skill to transfer texts from one language to another, but rather the combination of language, translation and literary and cultural knowledge, which ought to be part of a university translation training programme.
