- Legal Terms as a Translation Studies Problem
The article deals with the translator’s autocensoring when translating the novel In Cold Blood by T. Capote. It appeared that the translator took fragments out of the original text in order to simplify the translation and due to autocensoring to meet ideological restrictions in the USSR in 1960-x. This made the translation 17.35 % shorter than the original text and changed its genre: psychological non-fiction novel-investigation turned into a detective story.
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the fact that translators’ work is important for creating system of Ukrainian national terms of law. Examples of legal terms translation in mass-media and in belles-lettres texts are used to prove the idea that while improving Ukrainian legal terminology, terminologists should use experience of translators. Examples of translators’ failures and successes are given.
