Dear Freek and Bruno,
This is a moot point. To find a cost-effective policy of scientific translation is in my opinion the crucial challenge of scientific communication today. It's not just a matter of accuracy, it's also an essential aspect of business. Overlooking this may mislead researchers and readers into thinking that a translated paper/work is necessarily a good one since people or institutions have paid for it.
I have translated a book at the request of a philosopher who happens to be also an artist. The work is an interesting attempt at decolonizing minds with regards to aesthetics. But the fact is that we now have to find a market, which means getting some funds since open access institutions cannot cover expensive communication.
Who gest one's works published? Who manages to get them translated? At what price? And for what public?
It all boils down to asking who needs the research in the first place.
Best,
Frederic

The use of simile as a means of clarification and simplification in scientific texts faces many difficulties while translating into Arabic language. I am looking for books or any reference about this idea.
Thanks in Advance

Fair enough. Maybe then the question is why, when simile and metaphor are so often discussed as closely related, there is so much research on metaphor in translation and so little research on simile...?

I want to translate an english version scale to another language to make it more user friendly to local populations, especially for those who does not know english.
Relevant answer
Answer
When translating scales... it is first required to be classified as Qualitative or Quantitative scale....If it is Qualitative then, the exact dialect meaning and its interpretations should be identified....There can be a separate note on the description of the scale...
