The aim of this paper is to describe the practice of professional translation into foreign language, which represents one of the most interesting research topics that has been recently tackled by many scholars discussing and researching the subject of Directionality in translation. The study also sheds light on some of the difficulties that translators face when translating into foreign language and the measures that should be taken to improve translation training in this direction. To achieve the study objectives, a questionnaire is designed and answered by 23 official translators in Algiers province. The paper presents the findings obtained from the questionnaire survey along with some recommendations.

This study aims at investigating the notion of fidelity and the impact of the patronage in the translation at Foreign Arabic-Language TVs. It is, noteworthy, altruism that these organs are launched to shape Arab public opinion with a view to creating new generations that are docile to the foreigners' orientations, as well as to justify the allegations of their governments' interference in the region as guardians of democracy. The article tests the hypothesis that the patronage frames the work of the translators. Thence, the hidden ideologies in news texts are changed/re-presented (or maintained) when translated at Foreign Arabic-Language TVs, taking into account the socio-cultural practices followed by these news institutions. It also investigates strategies and techniques adopted by news translators to achieve this purpose. To do this, a corpus of 3 examples relating to Egypt, France, and Yemeni war are examined to identify the ideological representation, alterations happening through translation, based on the dictations of the patronage as illustrated by the theorists of the cultural turn approach, as well as the techniques adopted to produce an ideology-laden translation. The findings indicate the TTs have been ideologically mediated in a way that is completely different from the STs and conform to the news organizations' political and ideological leanings. This resulted in reformulating a different Arabic version from the original, resorting to a range of strategies proposed by Lefevere and others.

Translation teaching has long suffered from a lack of methodology. Texts to be translated by students are often selected randomly, or at best the selection is made on a text typological basis. The need to adopt a more objective-based method in translation is explained in the following article. The educational concept of 'objective' is first tackled than it is linked to 'translation competence' in order to see whether such a method could integrate the practice of translation teaching. We try through this article to open the way for future research in the field of 'translator training' that would incorporate new teaching methods whether they are brought from language studies or other domains.

This paper deals with the translation of technical terms from English into Arabic. It uses a comparative approach between the original and the translation. It first presents the specificities of technical texts, then some software engineering terms are selected with their translations and are analyzed on a terminological approach. It results in the fact that when the target language, here Arabic language, lacks an equivalent for a specific term, it is mainly dealt with on the basis of literal translation, explicitation and loan words. We observed a lack of consistency in the usage of Arabic terms and a major need for thematic knowledge prior to the practice of any specialized translation.

Donc l'intraduisible serait, selon Christine Durieux, dans l'optique communicationnelle, une possibilité récurrente par l'emprunt, la transposition et d'autres solutions aussi pertinentes pour des résolutions qui, plus au moins, véhiculeront le sens, en s'appuyant sur le vouloir-dire du texte ou du contexte.

Translators in translating children's literature vary between the supporters of the adaptation approach, i.e. by modification, deletion, addition and adaptation according to the target reader's culture, and between opponents of this approach and their argument that this approach deprives the child from learning about the culture of others. As an analysis of our study, we chose some examples from Harry Potter books and its translation into Arabic (Part 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7) to clarify some difficulties in translating from one culture to another and achieving the same goal and purpose of the original text in the target text as well as the importance of the used approach according to the text typology.

One of the most challenging issues in the realm of translation is translating idioms. This study shall review the main problems encountered when dealing with the translation of business idioms and the extent to which idiomaticity in economic texts is retained, distorted or lost; and why? In addition to discussing possible strategies to keep losses to a minimum. The research shall adopt a corpus-based analysis to highlight that literal translation is not valid with idioms, however, in economic texts, it may be the only solution for the translator to convey idiomaticity with respect to the characteristics of economic discourse.

Date de soumission : 21/05/ 2021 date d'acceptation : 26/09/ 2021 Résumé : Le présent article s'intéresse au contenu du cours de critique des traductions partie intégrante du programme de formation en Master traduction que propose l'institut de traduction, université Alger2. L'importance de ce cours dans le développement de la compétence traductionnelle des étudiants requiert un enseignement particulier et un contenu qui concilie théorie et pratique de la traduction. A cet effet, nous tentons, à travers une étude pilote, de lever le voile sur les attentes des apprenants de ce module et le contenu de la formation proposé en retour par les enseignants, de déterminer le degré de corrélation entre les attentes des uns et l'offre de formation faite par les autres. L'objectif de cette étude est d'une part, de dresser un état des lieux de ce qui se fait actuellement en cours de critique des traductions, d'autre part, de prendre connaissance des problèmes que rencontrent les apprenants durant ce module et les cibler pour pouvoir dans une autre étude à plus grande échelle proposer des ajustements et/ou propositions qui pourront servir à atteindre les objectifs du cours, de la formation et par conséquent de répondre aux besoins de l'apprenant. Mots clés : critique des traductions ; contenu du cours ; apprenants ; enseignants ; objectifs de formation ; compétence traductionnelle ; Abstract: This article focuses on the content of the translation criticism course, which is an integral part of the Master's programme in translation offered by the Institute of Translation, University of Algiers 2. The importance of this course in the development of students' translation competence requires a particular teaching and a content that reconciles theory and practice of translation. To this end, we attempt, through a pilot study, to lift the veil on the expectations of the learners of this module and the content of the training proposed in return by the teachers, to determine the degree of correlation between the expectations of some and the training offer made by others. The aim of this study is, on the one hand, to draw up an inventory of what is currently being done in translation criticism courses. In the other hand, to take note of the problems encountered by learners during this module, to target them in order to be able, in another larger-scale study, to propose adjustments and/or proposals that could serve to achieve the objectives of the course, the training and, consequently, to meet the needs of the learner .
