2. How to be a good translator


The good translator in organizations in theory
Within organization studies there are several uses of the concept translation. Wæraas
& Nielsen (2016) have three theoretical perspectives: actor network theory,
knowledge-based perspective, Scandinavian institutionalism. Scheuer, (2006)
identifies eight different uses of the concept of translation: actor network, translation
of ideas, editing, imitation, diffusion, action networks, communication and
association.
According to Husain and elt that A good translator should be familiar with the culture,
customs, and social settings of the source and target language speakers. She/He
should also be familiar with different registers, styles of speaking, and social
stratification of both languages. This socio-cultural awareness, can improve the
quality of the students' translations to a great extent. The social context in translating a
text is probably a more important variable than its genre. The act of translating takes
place in the socio-cultural context. Consequently, it is important to judge translating
activity only within a social context.
Another important point is that successful translators usually choose one specific kind
of texts for translating and continue to work only in that area; for example a translator
might translate only literary works, scientific books, or journalistic texts. Even while
translating literary works, some translators might choose only to translate poetry,
short stories, or novels. Even more specific than that, some translators choose a
particular author and translate only her or his works. The reason is that the more they
translate the works of a particular author, the more they will become familiar with her
or his mind, way of thinking, and style of writing.
