La correcta escritura en traducción.: Normas ortotipográficas comparadas francés-español

Abstract

The absence of agreement on certain orthotypographic rules often results in minimal attention being paid to the proper writing of translated documents. This lack of consensus regarding some aspects of correct writing practices frequently leads to a disregard for the accurate presentation of translated texts. Whilst considerable attention has been given to terminological and thematic aspects in Translation Studies, the formal elements that contribute to the proper coherence and cohesion of translated texts have been largely neglected in scholarly works. These elements, which are crucial for ensuring that the target audience can comprehend the translated content, have not received adequate focus in the existing literature. To provide knowledge in this respect, we have selected ten aspects of writing in the French-Spanish language combination that may pose difficulties for both writing and translation, as well as some pitfalls due to interference from the source text. This study targets both educators and researchers, as both groups frequently work with written materials where proper writing is essential. Emphasising correct writing practices inevitably leads to enhanced quality and improved comprehension of the final document, benefiting the entire academic and scientific community.
