Une Étude Des Termes Simples Et Complexes : La Traduction D’un Extrait De : The Global Oil & Gas Bonanza : Africa’s Share

Abstract

One of the major challenges in translation process is to find the most appropriate strategy to deal with texts from specific fields of specialty, hence the birth of terminologies according to the type of text that we are confronted with. Complex terms or multiword expressions are one of the key issues in translation process. This research aims to first investigate and identify obstacles encountered in translating texts with complex terms or multiword expressions, and then suggest strategies for dealing with these difficulties. The text used for our research is a specialized one from the field of oil and gas. While translating this text, we identified several complex and multiword terms. From the findings, we have a specifically structured analysis. Although our research will not present a panacea to solving problems encountered in translation, the findings showed that translation difficulties are surmountable as there are always strategies to be used in dealing with these specific problems posed by complex and multiword terms.
