Kompasputnik, в противном же случае выйдут забавные или довольно серьезные казусы))

Л_И_С_И_Ч_К_А, о даааа! Набор слов..

А мне можно провести "испрямление" позвоночника?

Akvamarin33, для этого придется уложить вас с разогнутой головой на спину...))

Белчоночка, exactly!
Translator’s false friends! The pairs of words in two languages or dialects (or letters in two alphabets) that look and/or sound similar, but differ in meaning. For true translation the translator during his work has to select the best linguistic means to express well the image or the idea, given in the original text. To make it possible, he should read and study as much information in his native language as he can concerning the sphere he works with.

To be honest, there are not only so-called false friends of a translator, there in this list we can see just a lot of stylistic and lexical errors caused by false or unskillful usage of various transformations of lexical units.

-Snowflake-, and my conclusion was that person must have a good knowledge not only in fundament of medicine, but in its details. Logically it brings us to understanding of that fact that professional translator of medical texts must have medical education. But there isn`t appropriate training for these translators. So that this problem still remains open.

professional translator of medical texts must have medical education.

One doesn't have to have medical education.. Why must he? As likely as not. Do you seriously suppose that for speaking english you should have special education incl. the theory of the language, f.ex.?

-Snowflake-, no I don`t suppose this. But sometimes one doesn`t know if such disease (syndrome or symptom) exists. So he should check up it and acquaint oneself with medical terminology. In some cases even medical vocabulary can`t help to translate correctly.

Белчоночка, agree with this. To check it up, one should have a good medical dictionary or special medical trainings as well, hehe

-Snowflake-, this is what I mean)

Белчоночка, I see, thanks.
