Practical 8: Tenancy at Will
12 Novembro 2025, 15:30 • Rui Vitorino Azevedo
Students
began working on translating a tenancy at will through four key components.
First, they conducted a source text analysis identifying linguistic challenges,
cultural and legal system differences, and register considerations. Second,
they developed a translation strategy addressing legal equivalence, target
audience considerations, terminology management, cultural adaptation, and
register maintenance. Third, they were asked to translate the first two pages for
law firm use, maintaining legal precision, appropriate terminology, and clarity
for both professionals and lay readers. Finally, they should prepare a
commentary analyzing applied translation procedures, ambiguity resolution
strategies, and solutions to challenging translation problems.
