Rеvеrsе Trаnslаtion as a Method of Proofreading Translation

Project Report from the year 2016 in the subject Interpreting / Translating grade: 9 language: English abstract: Researchers in translation are most of the time quality conscious and aspire to determine the accuracy of the transferred text. They perceive back-translation as a reliable quality assurance mechanism. However some specialists maintain that back-translation is not an efficient quality control mechanism. It is therefore the purpose of this paper to determine whether back-translation is a reliable quality assessing instrument between the source text and the target one. The researcher applies a hermeneutic phenomenological investigating method within the qualitative paradigm to amplify the findings in this study.
