| Summary: | With the development of medicine, the demand for the translation
of medical texts has increased significantly. Translations play an important
role in disseminating medical knowledge and new medical discoveries
and are vital in the provision of health services to foreigners, tourists, or
minorities. Translating medical texts requires a variety of skills. In our study,
we assess the extent to which translation and interpretation students at
Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania are able to translate medical
texts from English into their mother tongue (Hungarian) and Romanian
(the official language of the country). With the purpose of curriculum
development, we examine whether the lack of medical knowledge affects
the work of translators and what strategies can be used in translation in the
absence of this expertise. We also examine our students’ attitude related to
translating medical texts and becoming a medical translator. |
