Abstract

ABSTRACT The study focuses on literary translation between languages of low diffusion (LLD) from the perspective of a culture using such a language. The position of a language group in the world translation system determines the general flow of literary translation, but the specifics for the translation of an individual LLD may depend on a number of factors. In this paper, we explore the situation in the Slovene literary market as far as translators for LLD are concerned, in particular the ways LLD knowledge and literary translation training is acquired, and present possible solutions for the potential lack of translators for specific source languages. To answer the research questions, we surveyed and interviewed translators and editors, as well as looked into the existing opportunities for literary translator training in Slovenia, with a special interest in LLDs, collecting data through web pages of training and education institutions. Finally, we suggest the most viable options to improve the current situation for the most critical language combinations.

低传播语言的文学翻译:斯洛文尼亚的市场需求和培训挑战
摘要本文主要从低传播语言的文化视角研究低传播语言间的文学翻译。一个语言群体在世界翻译系统中的地位决定了文学翻译的总体流程,但个别LLD翻译的具体情况可能取决于许多因素。在本文中,我们探讨了在斯洛文尼亚文学市场的情况下,就翻译的LLD的关注,特别是LLD知识和文学翻译培训的获取方式,并提出了可能的解决方案,为特定的源语言可能缺乏翻译。为了回答研究问题,我们对翻译和编辑进行了调查和访谈,并研究了斯洛文尼亚文学翻译培训的现有机会,对LLDs特别感兴趣,通过培训和教育机构的网页收集数据。最后,我们提出了最可行的选项,以改善最关键的语言组合的现状。
