A Companion to Translation Studies

TL;DR: A critical analysis of Venuti's statements concerned with the necessity, rationality and limitations of the translator's "invisibility" problem can be found in this article, which can be used to achieve correct understanding of the necessity and rationality of the translational status of a translator.

Abstract: Picchu have a written language? It would seem that there are two parallel systems for transferring science over time and cultures. One is the continuous line of human brains fed information on many levels both verbal and nonverbal, and the other system of written language. A written manuscript is but a reflection of the state of the art and science housed collectively by humanity at any point in time. This criticism notwithstanding, Science in Translation is a welldocumented scholarly work that is fascinating. I recommend it for all retired practitioners of applied science and for any scientist who wants some good reading while on a short vacation. I say retired person because while during the “rat race” of student life and the pace of engineering practice a person doesn’t have time to study the history of science: one learns the current state of the art. He knows exactly where he is but doesn’t know how he got there. That is to say, we are wealthy with knowledge, but don’t know our benefactors. Practicing science is rewarding, but knowing one’s heritage is equally rewarding. This book is not for a college freshman or sophomore. It is for someone with a background in science, history, or self-education. Bernard C. Musselman St. Lawrence University

TL;DR: This article investigated the translation rules used by Norwegian hospitals to adapt reputation management to their context, and found that the hospitals intentionally remove from and add components to the reputation management idea in a strikingly similar way.
