Abstract
The current article present a model of how translators make decisions when translating. The central idea is that translators distribute their effort in terms of the risks involved in rendering different textual elements. The main concern of this article is the way risk analysis can be related to text analysis. The main suggestion is that text analysis is an inadequate basis for risk analysis.
