Examine the excerpt extracted from “Localization from the Perspective of Translation Studies” (p. 2-3) by Anthony Pym and choose the alternative which DOES NOT CONTAIN features of the localization discourse:

Within localization models, translation is reduced to just one small step in a larger process. Most theorists of translation, of the other hand, would want to see localization as just a part of translation. This has given rise to considerable debate and more than a little discontent (see ISG 2003). Localization models mostly recognize two kinds of processes: internationalisation (for the centralized preparation of products) and localization proper (for the adaptation of the product to locales). Translation Studies, on the other hand, has long worked with three spaces for processes: production of the source text, intervention of the translator, and reception of the target text (or translation). From that perspective, some things seem to be missing in the localizer’s view of the world.

UFTM · Answer

The language of equivalence in the source text is artificially prepared by the central localization company.

UFTM · Answer

The translator does not have full access to source texts since those are “internationalized” and distributed around the globe by the central company.

UFTM · Answer

The translator seeks to translate strings of language searching for artificial equivalences which should sound natural in the target language.

UFTM · Answer

The localization process does not require extensive teamwork and the translator works alone.
