Item A Translation Into English of A Spanish Document Titled: Guía País Ghana(University of Ghana, 2017-11) Elikem, C.A.This project is a translation of a document titled Guía país Ghana (Guidebook to Ghana) from Spanish into English. Authored by the Commercial and Economic Office of Spain in Lagos, this source text is a broad-spectrum document presenting some vital statistics on Ghana in the area of industry and international relations among other topics. The choice of the document for our translation project is motivated by our desire to make known to our English audience the challenges that Ghana had to grapple with for some time after her independence up to the year 2008 when it was updated. We believe the translation of a document of a semi-technical nature such as the present one would provide our English audience useful insight into the economic life of Ghanaians. It is also our hope that fellow translators, translation students and the language-loving public would appreciate the input we made in order to produce a target text that can hardly be recognized as a piece of translation, one devoid of all the twitches and jerks akin to translated documents. Most importantly, we pray that fellow translators who shy away from specialized texts in view of their massive load of information and unfamiliar terminology take a cue from our work.
