EN402

Contexts in Translating (EN 402) is a part of the ‘Benjamins translation library’ series and it serves two main purposes to the learners. First, it deals with the role of contexts in the process of translation. It gives several examples of translations into English from French, Spanish, and German. Second, it introduces translation issues that a new translator would face. This highly readable book is a good entry-level venture into the field of translation studies.
