About the role
Humanities and Social Sciences have many branches such as sociology, political science, psychology, demography, history, law, linguistics, anthropology, etc. Unlike translation for other subjects, translation of these subjects goes beyond word-to-word translation. Translators face the challenge of layers of interpretation and numerous subjective paths given the nature of the subjects. Translating such text requires not only subject knowledge and good language skills but also good cultural understanding. It requires specific terminology and a certain style that reflect the linguistic and socio-cultural characteristics of the target audience.
