Thinking German Translation is a comprehensive practical course in
translation for advanced undergraduate students of German and
postgraduate students embarking on Master's translation programmes.
Now in its third edition, this course focuses on translation as a
decision-making process, covering all stages of the translation
process from research, to the 'rewriting' of the source text in the
language of translation, to the final revision process. This third
edition brings the course up to date, referencing relevant research
sources in Translation Studies and technological developments as
appropriate, and balancing the coverage of subject matter with
examples and varied exercises in a wide range of genres from both
literary and specialised material. All chapters from the second
edition have been extensively revised and, in many cases,
restructured; new chapters have been added-literary translation;
research and resources-as well as suggestions for further reading.
Offering around 50 practical exercises, the course features
material from a wide range of sources, including: business,
economics and politics advertising, marketing and consumer texts

issues are addressed, among them cultural differences, genre
conventions, the difficult concept of equivalence, as well as some
of the key differences between English and German linguistic and
textual features. Thinking German Translation is essential reading
for all students seriously interested in improving their
translation skills. It is also an excellent foundation for those
considering a career in translation. A Tutor's Handbook offers
comments and notes on the exercises for each chapter, including not
only translations but also a range of other tasks, as well as some
specimen answers. It is available to download from
