怎樣做好本地化翻譯?

  在翻譯的過程中本地化翻譯的準(zhǔn)確性和專業(yè)性是至關(guān)重要的，下面上海臻云人工翻譯機(jī)構(gòu)給大家分享怎樣做好本地化翻譯?

  In the process of translation, the accuracy and professionalism of localized translation is very important. Now, Shanghai Zhenyun Manual Translation Agency will share with you how to do a good job of localized translation.

  一、注意語言簡練，做到言簡意賅

  1. pay attention to concise language, to be concise and concise

  在本地化翻譯過程中要注意保證信息全面，含義準(zhǔn)確;語氣要流暢，邏輯通順;盡量使用書面用語，符合漢語語法習(xí)慣;杜絕錯(cuò)字、別字、多字、少字、標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)誤用和英文拼寫錯(cuò)誤;譯文的用詞及語氣須避免有對性別、年齡、種族、職業(yè)、宗教信仰、政治信仰、政黨、國籍、地域、貧富以及身體機(jī)能障礙者的歧視。

  In the process of localized translation, attention should be paid to ensuring comprehensive information and accurate meaning; smooth tone and logic; using written language as far as possible in accordance with Chinese grammatical habits; eliminating errors in characters, other words, more words, fewer words, punctuation misuse and English spelling errors; and avoiding gender, age, mood in translation. Discrimination against persons of race, occupation, religious belief, political belief, political party, nationality, region, wealth and physical disability.

  二、詞匯短小精練，句子的結(jié)構(gòu)要簡練嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)

  2. Short and concise vocabulary, concise and precise sentence structure

  本地化翻譯的文體大多是論述性、指南性的，所以多用陳述句、祈使句，平鋪直敘，少有感情色彩。句子結(jié)構(gòu)簡練嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，常采用省略手法，用短語來代替從句。詞匯力求短小精悍，常用復(fù)合詞，技術(shù)性越強(qiáng)，復(fù)合詞越多。在表現(xiàn)手法上力求客觀性，避免主觀性和個(gè)人色彩，多使用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，以使句子緊湊，主語信息豐富，避免重復(fù)。文章結(jié)構(gòu)層次分明，連接詞的使用十分頻繁和重要。

  The style of localized translation is mostly expository and directive, so it uses declarative sentences and imperative sentences more often and narrates plainly, with less emotional color. Sentence structure is concise and precise, often using ellipsis, phrases instead of clauses. Vocabulary strives to be short and concise, commonly used compound words, the more technical, the more compound words. In the way of expression, we should strive for objectivity, avoid subjectivity and personal color, and use more passive voice in order to make sentences compact, rich subject information and avoid repetition. The structure of the article is clear and the use of conjunctions is very frequent and important.

  三、保證譯文的原汁原味，語言活潑

  3. Guarantee the original flavor of the translated text and make the language lively

  本地化手冊的的語言風(fēng)格與聯(lián)機(jī)幫助或界面相比要略顯活潑一些，經(jīng)常會(huì)出現(xiàn)一些疑問句、反問句、感嘆句、俚語等;在翻譯時(shí)要將這些地方譯得文雅而不口語化，傳達(dá)出原文要表達(dá)的感情，而表達(dá)方式又符合漢語的習(xí)慣。

  The language style of the localized manual is slightly more lively than that of on-line help or interface, and there are often some interrogative sentences, rhetorical questions, exclamatory sentences, slang, etc. When translating, we should translate these places elegantly and not colloquially to convey the feelings of the original text, and the way of expression conforms to the habits of Chinese.
