La démarche de l'expert-traducteur face à un problème de reformulation

Abstract

When and why does the professional translator experience problems when rendering the sense of utterances in his translation? How does he go about solving a reformulation problem? An analysis of on-line process data from three experienced Norwegian professional translators grappling with three utterances in a French original text shows that visualisation plays a key role in problem-solving on the level of reformulation.
