This handbook on the didactics of translation contains many concrete examples and also dedicates a chapter to translatability, the mental process of translation, mother tongue and linguistic self-consciousness, to the translation of fables, accreditation and training. The book aims to go beyond the narrow lexical vision of translation as a transfer of ‘textual equivalents’. The translation process is placed at the centre of cultural mediation in an integrated vision of theory and practice, method and profession.
