Translation
Usability Strategies for Translating Technical Documentation.
Published: 2006
Publisher: Springer, The Netherlands
ISBN: 1402046529 Based on my
doctoral research, this book is an introduction to technical translation
and usability for translators and researchers. It draws on a broad range
of research and makes it both accessible and applicable to those involved
in the practice and study of translation. After exploring various
theoretical aspects of technical translation, readers learn how to improve
and assess the quality of technical translations by using cognitive
psychology, usability engineering and technical communication to develop
skills which can be implemented during the text production stage of the
translation process. A practical usability study is described to
illustrate the theories, methods and benefits of usability engineering.
This book is unique in that it discusses technical translation from a
theoretical and practical point of view.
Technical Translation is a unique
reference resource for translators, technical communicators and
researchers which combines wealth of information from diverse fields in a
single volume.
