Tremendous Momentum in Translating Scientific Text

LOS ANGELES - Feb. 6, 2019 - PRLog -- Today, with respect to the development of the scientific world, it is a significant point for the scientists who have articles in several periodicals to open to many different cultures. The universality of the science world has also led to the necessity of translating these literary products into many different languages. In this context, scientific translations and translations on scientific topics are called scientific text translation. This type of translation has gained tremendous momentum mainly through the development of science and technology and so the translation of scientific texts has begun to be done intensely. The scientific translations and scientific text translations dating back to ancient times have made important contributions to the development of science all around the world. Let's learn the details of scientific and technical text translation together.

Scientific text translation from past to today

Scientific and technological studies have been going on since the early days of humanity. The fact that science and technology are universal phenomena makes it necessary to share the innovations taking place in the scientific field on all of the international platforms. In modern sense, one of the most important factors in the development of science in the West has been the translations made from Latin to Arabic. Today, the gradual increase in the translation of scientific texts makes great contributions to this issue.

Scientific and technological texts are texts in which scientific terminology and scientific elements are intensively used and which are difficult to understand from time to time. Since the authors of these texts are scientists who are experts in their fields and the media where these texts are published often appeal to those who have knowledge of the field in which the text is written, the translation of scientific texts has become a process that require rigorous work. From this point of view, the translations of scientific texts also have their own translation strategies. There are two points to consider first in the translation of scientific articles. These are the terminology and the availability of the translated texts.

Scientific texts can be interpreted as texts in which the terminology is intensively used, and which may be incomprehensible and contain many words that are specific to the field. For this reason, when translating scientific texts, it is firstly necessary to understand what words primarily mean in the terminology of that field. For this reason, before translating the text, the translator needs to make a terminology review in the literature published in this area. As a result of the research, if the expressions that he / she finds as corresponding words for the words to be translated are appropriate, he / she should use these equivalents in translation; if they are not appropriate, deriving new expressions in accordance with the meaning of this expression and the terminology being used should be one of the primary translation strategies.
As mentioned above, when a translator needs to translate a text in a scientific field, the first things to consider are to read the text, to determine the purpose of the text, its function, the way it expresses the subject that it deals with, to make the terminology review in dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other scientific sources to find the correct equivalents of the terminological expressions in the text as the next step and to derive a new expression if there is no word that could correspond to that term in his/her own native language.

On the other hand, the availability of the translation is a determining factor for the translation process. At this point, some researchers in the field of translation argue that terminology is sometimes not so important in scientific texts. According to these researchers, the translation of scientific texts does not only mean translating the terms by finding correct equivalents for them. The basic anxiety in scientific text translation should be whether readers will be able to use the information in texts such as scientific articles, scientific product information leaflets, drug leaflets, Scientific Evaluation Articles, Conference Reports and Meeting Abstracts in an easy, convenient and effective way.
