A SURVEY ON TRANSLATION PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES

Translation is the process of replacing an original test, known as the source text within substitute one known as the target text .The process is usually an interlingual translation in that the message in the source language text is rendered as a target text in a different language .Procedures are considered essential for translation and the translators need to use some procedures for the realization of a translation that might be objectively correlative to the original text both in form and content, some procedures are used by translators when they formulate an equivalence for the purpose of transferring elements of meaning from the source texts to the target text. This article reviews a taxonomy of translation procedures used for dealing with the translation shifts proposed by two French scholars named Jean-Paul Vinay and Jean Darbelnet who explored the linguistic aspects of translation and first proposed seven methods or procedures in 1973 , their work has opened the door for later taxonomies of translation techniques, I decided to outline a widely-accepted list of these translation procedures and techniques in the hope that the reader may become interested in knowing a little bit more about translation procedures and their nuances.
