||Introduction |L|
Writer on translation have suggested different methods based two major oldnew methods of translation, LITERAL and FREE.
Do you|| get that?!
LETS CONTINUE
||1- literal translation |L|

literal translation is understood and applied in three different ways: 1. Word-for-word translation: Each English Word is translated into equivalent word in Arabic which is kept the same as, and in line with that of English: e.g.
1- e.g. Word-for-word translation:

That child is intelligent How can we translate this sentence by using this method ? That child is intelligent )(
Do you|| get that?!

LETS CONTINUE
Disadvantages of this method

This method is risky as it may disrupt meaning and, hence, translation, for a number of reasons, some of which are:

1. It ignores the target language completely, making it subject to the source language wholly and entirely For example: That child is intelligent )( But the correct is:
LETS CONTINUE

1. It disregards the grammatical differences between two language For example: Mary wanted to take tea wrong correct )( ()
LETS CONTINUE

3.It transfers the SL grammar and word order. It does not acknowledge the different word order (s) of two language. For example: He is living from hand to mouth ) wrong ) Correct

4. It has no respect for the context of the words in language and allows for words to be understood in isolation, not in combination with other surrounding words. For example: please stay with me on the campus wrong correct
LETS CONTINUE
Disadvantages for this method

5.It transfers the primary (or common) meaning of words. By this, it dismisses the possibility of any polysemous, special indirect or metaphorical use of words. For example: stop beating about the bush wrong correct /

It cannot deal with SL words that have no equivalents in the TL For example: This man is a big shot wrong correct /

7- It views meanings as the product of words only, which is not acceptable. For example: I know this information wrong correct
2-One to-one literal translation

One to-one literal translation is to Newmark a boarder form of translation, each SL words has a corresponding TL word He also adds One to-one translation is more common than word-for-word translation

this method of translation means to translate each SL word or phrase into an identical word or phrase in the TL, with the same number, grammatical class and type of language. noun is translated into a noun two noun into two nouns One adjectives into one Idioms into idioms and so on

For example: My neighbors are good

This method of literal translation is similar to the first one in two respects: 1. It retains the SL word order in the TL 2. It insists on having the same type and number of words

It is different from it in two respects too: 1. It take context into consideration 2. It translate collocational meaning, special and metaphorical SL words and phrase into their TL equivalents, if and when available. Therefore, it is acceptable and better than word-for-word translation

1. It transfers the SL grammar and word order, regardless of the TL grammar and word order: (a)- starting all the Arabic versions with a subject then a verb each, ignoring sentences(( And the start with the verb in verbal sentences ((

B-Insisting on translating verb be into and have into only in all examples. _______________ C- translating all personal pronouns.
3-lieral translation of meaning: Direct translation

It is the translation of meaning in context; it takes into account the TL grammar and word order. It can be described as: 1. full translation of meaning. 2. the best method of literal translation. For example: To run in the race To run a company In the long run
Ok we finished the literal translation lets continue to second method ||Free translation||
||Free translation||
It means to translate without constraints. The translators is not strictly constraints by the type of the text or context, or the direct and available meaning of words and phrases, looking perhaps for the spirit, or the message. He can translate something the way he understands it.
||Free translation||
All other terms pointed out above and used nowadays to substitute for free, such as communicative, dynamic, pragmatic, creative and idiomatic coincide with many of these implications.
Bound Free Translation

This type of free translation is derived from the context in a direct way, though it may go out of it in some way or another , in the form of exaggeration ,expressivity , and effective, rhetorical or formal language . It is the type we usually understand by the term free translation .
Examples: He got nothing at the end( / ) She was sad deep down ( / )
Common among these translation is their expressive ,effective ,rhetorical and very formal Arabic , by means of using:
A- Expression from the Holy Quran (10); B- a prophetic Tradition (i.g.Sunnah)(4); C- popular religious expression (9); D- proverbs(1); E- collocation(2,3) +
F- Poetry (5&6); G- pompous , exaggerated expressions(7)
All these free translation are derived in one way or another from the original .
B-Loose Free Translation :

This free translation method goes far away from the direct linguistic context to inferences. It is based on the translator's conclusions about what the speak-writer want to say .
Example:
* Thank you , Mr. Wilson . Next please . ) . ( The speaker says thank you to a guest or customer at the end of their meeting , as an indirect way to ask him-her to leave .so ,instead of asking him-her directly to leave he goes for thank you which is understood as will you leave, the interview is over
