Translation Problems Translation is inherently a difficult activity. Translators can face problems which make the process even more difficult, such as:
* Problems with the text:
про The source text not being the final text, and being redrafted during the translation process про Illegible text про Misspelt text про Incomplete text про Poorly written text
про Missing references in the text (eg the translator is to translate captions to missing photos)
* Language problems:
про Dialect terms and neologisms
про Unexplained acronyms and abbreviations
про Unreasonably obscure jargon
* Other:
про Highly specific cultural referencesquestion of whether particular words are untranslatable is often debated, with lists being produced from time to time. For example, it is hard to find a noun corresponding to the Russian чомучка (pochemuchka) or the Yiddish ^ Tu ^ lP (shlimazl), but the adjectives "inquisitive" and "jinxed" correspond just fine.words that present the most problems for translation are often the small, common words. For example, the verb "to get" in all its various uses covers nearly seven columns of the most recent version of the Robert-Collins French-English dictionary. The same is true for most apparently simple, common words, such as "go" (seven columns), "come" (four and a half columns), and so forth.aspects can render translation problematic. Consider the example of a word like "bread". At first glance, it is a very simple word, referring in everyday use to just one thing, with obvious translations into other languages. But ask people from England, France and China to describe or draw "bread", du pain and Q (band you, (oa Does it ? Is it sweet? How crunchy?

"Bread" has a better claim to being untranslatable, since even if we resort to saying "French bread", "Chinese bread", "Algerian bread", etc. we are relying on our audience knowing what these are like.levels of precision also play a r...
