PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF TRANSLATION: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE

In the context of globalization the question of translation is fundamental. Translation studies and various interdisciplinary links to other related fields have built a solid theoretical foundation, which should constitute a starting point for real-life translation work. However, many times we get "lost in translation" and a basic question arises. How can we bridge the gap between what we learn and what we practice in the field of translation? This paper tries to answer the question.
