1a Questão (Ref.:201804049977) Acerto: 1,0 / 1,0 
What does " translation" mean? Mark the CORRECT option: 
 
 Translation means using computers and online translation tools as a 
valuable aid for the translator`s job. 
 Translation means changing the audio track of a film itself so that the 
characters appear to be speaking in the TL. 
 Translation means converting writing from a SL to a TL. 
 Translation means having to listen to what a person says in a SL and 
converting it, either immediately or after a few sentences, into a TL. 
 Translation means providing written captions that appear at the bottom of 
the screen and are synchronized with the dialogue in the film. 
 
 
2a Questão (Ref.:201804049970) Acerto: 1,0 / 1,0 
Choose the WRONG definition about a competent translator: 
 
 A competent translator must be not only bilingual but bicultural as he needs to make 
use of intercultural references so as to be able to make choices in order to make his 
translation transparent. 
 A competent translator must have very good knowledge (written and spoken) of the 
SL and an excellent command of the TL. Translators have to make choices when 
transferring information from a SL to a TL, and therefore, they must be well aware 
of the alternatives they have. 
 A competent translator does not need experience and the more translations he does 
the more practice will he get. It has been suggested that it will take a person about 
10 years of practice to become an accomplished translator. Simply being able to 
speak the SL and the TL is enough. 
 A competent translator must have a profound understanding of the 
etymological and idiomatic correlates between the two languages in order 
to avoid using equivalents that do not carry the meaning being implied 
by the author. 
 A competent translator must never censor the text being translated. The 
work of a translator is simply transferring the information from a SL to a 
TL as faithfully as possible without placing any sort of judgment on what 
is being said.
