Hello Fellow Translators!

Do you know any academic resources touching upon the subject translator's responsibility when translating psychological texts? I am now translating a handbook for survivors of sexual abuse. Any titles that might help?

Thanks!

translator's responsibility Aug 24, 2015

is to to do their job with accuracy, completeness, using proper terminology and clear, unambiguous style.

If a translator feels unsuited for a project, saying "no" is always an option.

That piece of advice is valid for everything they translate.

One has to have a strong sense in the subject matter he is translating. Without such a sense, technical guidelines won't work or can even be misleading.
