Problems in the Terminology and Translation of Judaic Studies.
Aphek, Edna; Levine, Mira
Babel: International Journal of Translation, v32 n2 p78-83 1986
Discusses three categories of difficulties unique to the translation of Judaica: (1) such problems as terminology, abbreviations, transliterations, and acronyms; (2) the material requires the translator to know literature, folklore and linguistics as well as Hebrew and the target language; (3) a linguistic-stylistic dimension unique to Hebrew. Texts are included to illustrate these points. (SED)
