What is context translation?
By context what is meant is the entire environment in which the word or sentence is expressed or stated. So a translator has to go into the background of the text to understand the text.
What are the types of context in translation?
Contextual measures can be broken down into 3 different categories: communicative, situational, and visual. Situational contextual measures are fundamental at the beginning of any translation project to give initial context to your translator.
What is context in translation studies?
The contexts include the historical setting of writing a text, the cultural components that make a text unique, the types of audiences for which the translation is intended, and the most efficient and effective ways of producing a satisfactory representation of the source-language text.
What is the the importance of context in translation?
Why is the context important? The context influences the meaning of a phrase or sentence. It is linked to the environment in which the communication takes place. In translation, the context is very important: one word may mean a different thing depending the context in which it is used.
