Abstract
The author draws on a number of studies to account for the inherent variability in translation, which complicates experimentation in translation research. The nature of the translation process is such that it does not lend itself easily to rigorously controlled experiments with neatly isolated variables. The sources of variation include skills, strategies, and the organisation of memory.
