| Summary: | This article analyses the differences in a translators perception on translatability
and its effect on the retention of the source message in translations of Chinese
language to the Malay language. Fifty linguistic cultural items from the Malay
translation of Shui Hu Zhuan have been used as the corpus of this analyses. A
questionnaire containing fifty linguistic-cultural forms was administered to a
group of students of translating programme and who are proficient in both
Mandarin and Malay. A simple quantitative and qualitatif analysis on the
feedbacks shows that the differences in the perception of the concept of
translatability between the one that is held by the reseachers and that of the
second-raters prove to be the main source of varieties of translation outputs.
The principal messages of the target texts are not grossly different between
those produced by individuals whose perception of translatability are not the
same |
