Translation Process - From the source text to the target one

Abstract

The translation process is an intermediate operation that takes place between the
source text and the target one, it is the central part where interpretive activities and
decision-making take place. It focuses on the perception of meaning by analyzing
units of meaning in the context that accompanies them, and needs both linguistic
and extra-linguistic knowledge. Is it helpful to become aware of this process in the
practice of translation, or does it work only for the good of translation didactics
and translators training?
