With the development of economic globalization and information technology, localization industry came into being. Localization is a new service integrating language technology, information technology and project management technology. The localization industry has an increasing demand for professional talents with professional translation skills and proficient use of translation tools. In the next five years, the localization industry will provide lots of employment opportunities for English majors. For teaching translation to English majors in local colleges, combining the specific situation of local colleges, and based on the characteristics of localization translation, innovating the teaching mode is the key to ensure the cultivation of localized applied translators. Taking Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics Dongfang College as an example, this paper puts forward a new translation teaching model of “Minor Course”, “Learning by Doing” and “Classroom + Practice” to ensure the teaching effect of localization translation.","PeriodicalId":245593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115923142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally speaking, an eldest son should assume his father’s financial duties following his father’s death, as in this narrative. Khalil I. Al-Fuzai, as a writer, examines this topic through the eyes of this character: “all his life is a waste... and all his days are uninteresting.” All he is doing is for others. Such a life influences the protagonist’s belief and understanding of life and its meaning. For him, it is the society which can assign and decide your role and action in life and as an individual one has no option or even choice but to carry out his/her social role. Hence, the main character of this story finds that such a life is “a waste”. In an attempt to save a child, the protagonist dives into the ocean before the boy drowns in the sea. He regains faith in the significance of his existence as a result of this activity. The seawater he swims in provides him a new perspective on and knowledge of his existence. Accordingly, to do anything out of one’s choice may help the person in question to overcome some social obstacles and understand the meaning of life as it is the case in this story. The protagonist emerges from the ocean with a new identity; he turns out to be a person of confidence, courage, personality, and knowledge. Finally, reading a narrative like this one will allow the reader a chance to discover more about the author and may lead to a search for similar stories written about the same culture. Educationally speaking, this story demonstrates how a single act may transform a person and bestow glory upon him. It does restore some of confidence, which one requires in order to continue his/her steady progress through society.","PeriodicalId":245593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies","volume":"470 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114517986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to help solve this problem by mapping translation programs with the market needs. Specifically, the researcher selected two major components of translation programs’ specification documents which were the intended learning outcomes and course titles. The researcher used the findings of a previous study that identified the Yemeni translation market needs and aligned them to the programs intended learning outcomes and the course titles. The researcher developed two content analysis tools to collect data that were validated by a panel of experts. Results reveal that the participating translation programs fall short to satisfy the market needs. It was recommended that Yemeni universities review their programs in light of the market needs. It was also recommended that courses need to be reconsidered to be aligned with the knowledge areas of the needed translations competencies. In addition, private universities were recommended to reconsider their admission policy so as to help facilitate translation competencies acquisition.","PeriodicalId":245593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131366576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The translation industry is a key player in the economy of multi-linguistic nations like Saudi Arabia, and the labor market inherent to it faces imminent challenges posed by this global health crisis. It is the intention of this study to look into the economic status of translators working in Saudi Arabia in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Email interviews were conducted to random translators from different agencies in the country. After a thorough descriptive analysis of their pre- and post-COVID labor situation, it was found that there was generally a decrease in income of the translators whose portfolio is comprised by the translation business by 50%. Nonetheless, there are very few of those who consider translation as the main source of income who benefitted from the situation. Translation rates also had to be reduced by 7% to 8% in order to become competitive in the market. This applies to the various sectors utilizing translation services including post-editing machine translation, transcreation, and localized engineering, among others. However, among the sectors covered in this study, the demand for translation services was observed to be most significant in the healthcare, life sciences, and medical and pharmaceutical sectors. It is then the hope of this study to contribute knowledge in finding effective means to alleviate the economic conditions of translators who, in one way or another, could be considered as frontliners in this trying time.","PeriodicalId":245593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114819945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the application of this approach varies among local and international contexts that hold different views of feminism. This study evaluates the translation of Ḥikāyat Zahrah (1995) (literally, Zahra’s Tale), written by Lebanese author Hanan Al-Shaykh (1986) and translated by Peter Ford, from a feminist translation perspective. The aim of this paper is to analyze the representation of the female protagonist in the English version as compared to the Arabic one. It examines how Zahra’s character was transferred, studying her experiences, feelings, and thoughts, and evaluating whether the translator’s interventions altered her image in the English version. The paper seeks to answer the following questions: How is Zahra’s character affected as she moves from the Arab culture to a Western one? Does the translation reinforce, mitigate, or disregard the feminist issues raised through Zahra’s character? Did the translator Peter Ford apply feminist translation strategies? To that end, a corpus-based comparative analysis was conducted where translation examples were analyzed to determine whether the translator’s interventions serve the novel’s feminist message. The results show that only 21% of the examples illustrate the feminist translation approach, while the rest overlook the feminist nuances of the text. It can be concluded that the translator produced a culturally and ideologically accepted version of the novel that fits Western stereotypes rather than foregrounding Arab women’s issues and experiences.","PeriodicalId":245593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129082464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Italian novelist Giovanni Boccaccio, one of the exponents of the cultural movement of Humanism, in the introduction (proem) of his “Decameron” described the devastating effects of the ‘black plague’ on the inhabitants of the city of Florence. The pestilence returned to Western Europe in several waves, between the 16th and 17th centuries. William Shakespeare in “Romeo and Juliet” and other tragedies, and Ben Jonson in “The Alchemist” made several references to the plague, but they did not offer any realistic description of that infective disease. Some decennials later Daniel Defoe, in his “A Journal of the Plague Year” (1719), gave a detailed report about the ‘Great Plague’ which hit England in 1660, based on documents of the epoch. In more recent times, Thomas S. Eliot, composing his poem “The Waste Land” was undoubtedly influenced by the spreading of another infective disease, the so-called “Spanish flu”, which affected him and his wife in December 1918. Some decennials later, the French writer and philosopher Albert Camus, in his novel “The Plague”, symbolized with a plague epidemic the war which devastated Europe, North Africa and the Far East from 1937 to 1945, extolling a death toll of over 50 million victims. Those literary works offered a sort of solace to the lovers of literature. To recall them is the purpose of the present paper, in these years afflicted by the spreading of the Covid-19 Pandemic.","PeriodicalId":245593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128557430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
