Some Points of Ethics in Translation




Thinking about issues of  ethics regarding translators (ethics test coming soon!), I have come across a couple of blog entries by Rose Newell (German/English translator):

Read them carefully and note all the different issues treated here: plagiarism, unethical translators claiming to work for other translators found on professional websites, negative proofreaders, etc.

Check her ten points towards ethical proofreading.

Send me/your teacher a summary of what you've learnt from reading the blog posts linked above an refer to the code of ethics relevant to the issues mentioned.
