  • Anna Hägg Translating Swedish University Webpages Into English
    Estetisk-filosofiska fakulteten Anna Hägg Translating Swedish University Webpages into English A study of translation strategies Engelska C-uppsats Termin: Vårterminen 2011 Handledare: Elisabeth Wennö Karlstads universitet 651 88 Karlstad Tfn 054-700 10 00 Fax 054-700 14 60 [email protected] www.kau.se Abstract Titel: Translating Swedish University Webpages into English. A study of translation strategies. Författare: Anna Hägg Antal sidor: 31 Abstract: The focus of this paper is on university webpages and the translation of these. With the help of existing translation strategies, it aims to map out the strategies used in Swedish webpages in English with a focus on names and words/expressions for which there are no direct equivalents in English. The study shows that the most common strategies regarding the translation of names were translating word for word and using the nearest equivalent. Regarding language-specific expressions, the most common strategies were using cultural equivalents and reduction. Not surprisingly, additions in the text were most often matters of importance to an international audience, and the most common omissions were matters that only had a local interest.
