Introduction to Translation Studies intends to present the fundamental theories as tools to confront
the most significant practical problems that may arise in specialized translation.
The theories will focus
on:
(a) the acquisition of the fundamentals on translation theory to facilitate the comprehension of
multidisciplinary translation and the variety of theoretical approaches,
(b) the study and evaluation of
primary methods of research to enhance future research and practices,
(c) the acquisition of necessary
metalanguage, which allows the textual analysis of the translation process, the solution driven mind of
a translator, the approach to tackle recurring translation problems, and the evaluation of translated texts.
