Get a translation
Easy, targeted and explanatory, Texto’s “Faire Traduire” is a sequel to “Translation as a Profession” and outlines all there is to know about the translation science today. In this 200 page guide you will find all the information required when asking for a translation, occasionally or on a regular basis.
The guide clarifies all the tasks a translation is comprised of and gives advice on what to expect or be cautious about. It also provides the reader with valuable experience on how to ask for a translation or set up an in-house translation department inside an organization/company. It states in an unbiased and clear way what the appropriate attitude should be when one gets involved in the translation process as a requester.
It is ideal not only for clients but also for translators, students and academics as there is limited literature on the subject. Just like in “Translation as a Profession”, there is a useful glossary defining terms commonly used in the translation industry in an effort to “speak common jargon” and ease communication between clients, translators and translation companies.
For the first time in Greece clients, professionals and aspiring translators alike can discover, thanks to these two books by Daniel Gouadec, the plain truth about the translation profession and feel more secure and “well educated” about this demanding service.
Enjoy!

Profession: translator
Daniel Gouadec, one of the most prominent contemporary academics in the field of translation science with significant contributions in the fields of education and writing, takes us on a trip “in the world of translation and translator”.
This book will answer the queries of professional translators who wish to be informed on the updates in their field, as well as those who are thinking of entering the profession, those who tutor prospective translators, those who collaborate with translators and all those who would like to learn more about a profession that is not very well known and often misunderstood.
The analytical structure of the content of the book, was a decisive factor for Texto, a leading translation company in Greece for the past 20 years, to undertake this publication, providing the readers with an easy-to-read edition.
The book aspires not only to describe the updates and radical changes that have occurred during the last decade in the procedures and context of translation science, but also to provide a coherent breakdown of the prospects of the profession. It is a modern and well-founded practical guide, indispensable for all professionals.
