Yes, this page definitely needs a lot of work. Maybe some brief information about the major areas of research in Translation Studies (equivalence, polysystem theory, skopos, text types, gender/post-colonialism, culture/cultural references, to name but a few) could be added. It might also be useful to divide the article up between pure theory and applied theory. Jammycaketin (talk) 12:48, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. But the divisions are difficult to establish. The division between pure and applied is in Holmes, but nowhere else. The sequence of historical paradigms works up to the 1990s or so, but after that there seem to be separate fields of inquiry. --Apym (talk) 09:41, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

i) This is a verbose article, full of undefined and unexplained terms. The impression it gives me is that there is much less in this purported discipline than meets the eye. It would benefit if examples were given to explain the meaning of various concepts. ii) I note that "studies" is treated as a singular word in most places, though not all. This makes me wonder if the writers ought not to be doing something else in life. Seadowns (talk) 10:37, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

To quote, it is "writ in a manner that is my aversion". Honestly, it seems bogus all through! Seadowns (talk) 22:27, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Another research area to treat in this article could be "eco-translatology," on which conferences have been held in China in recent years.--A12n (talk) 01:40, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Agreed! A whole lot more has to be done to integrate non-Western approaches in general.--Apym (talk) 09:41, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

František Miko

František Miko was Slovenian. In the article there is an information that he was Slovak. This information appears in the section "Calls for an academic discipline":

"In the 1960s and early 1970s, the Czech scholar Jiří Levý and the Slovak scholars Anton Popović and František Miko worked on the stylists of literary translation from a literary translation.[8]"

Capital letters for the name of the discipline

I think that Translation Studies needs the capital letters, for two reasons: 1) It is the name of an academic discipline (the one that does research on translation) 2) It has to be distinguished from the studies that people do in order to become translators. The absence of capitals invites this confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apym (talk • contribs) 09:37, 15 January 2016 (UTC) --Apym (talk) 09:41, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
