peer agreement (net): +1| قرع الجرس The Bell Toll, The Tolling of the Bell (or Bells) Explanation: When confronted with a poorly written title, such as this one, a translator has two choices: 1. Translate it literally, keeping all ambiguities and inconsistencies of the source text. You are not required to improve the text, only translate it. 2. If what the writer is hinting at can be gleaned from the body of the article, then you can ask the client if you can re-write the title to make it more readable. You say you have no more context, so option 2 is out. |
