A Handbook For Translators (with Special Reference to International Conference Translation)

Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire: Colin Smythe Ltd., 1973. . 66 pp.. Introduction by the author. A handbook intended mainly for professional translators. "The original glossary on which this handbook is based included entries in French, Spanish, Portuguese. German, Swedish and Russian; but since French is by far the most important language from which English-speaking translators have to work in the international organizations, and since the principals discussed under the more general headings apply to translation from any language, the entries relating to the other languages have been omitted from the present edition." Since the bulk of the material collected deals with the problems of immediate concern to the growing army of international conference translators rather than to the translator of technical treatises or of fiction or biography or poetry, it occured to the author that it might be useful to publish it with the conference translator particularly in mind.
