Translatiegerelateerde

Translatiegerelateerde is a term used in Dutch and Flemish translation theory and practice. It refers to the process of rephrasing a sentence or text in a way that is equivalent in meaning, but deviates from the original wording. This approach is often used in translation to improve clarity, understandability, or readability of the target text.

In translatiegerelateerde, a translator aims to reproduce the same meaning as the source text, while taking into account the nuances and connotations of the target language. This involves considering various factors such as cultural differences, idiomatic expressions, and linguistic specificities. As a result, the translated text may differ significantly from the original, particularly in terms of syntax, vocabulary, or sentence structure.

Translatiegerelateerde is considered an intermediate approach between formal and informal translation. It is used in situations where a more literal or word-for-word translation would be awkward or unreadable, but a completely free translation would deviate too far from the original meaning. Practitioners of translatiegerelateerde, who are often skilled translators or interpreters, must exercise great care to ensure that the target text accurately conveys the message, intent, and tone of the source text.

In applied linguistics, translatiegerelateerde has been studied in relation to its potential effects on text cohesion, readability, and equivalence, as well as its ability to affect the perceived quality of translation.
