Should Translation Consultants Keep and Share a List of Key Texts and Passages to Check? If So,What Might Such a List Look Like?

Abstract

Translation consultants find that they keep coming back to some of the same texts and passages time and again in their translation checking. These are texts that present particular challenges across many different projects, and so become places that consultants always make sure they have looked at carefully. This article explores the risks and benefits of using lists of such texts as a guide for checking.
