| description | Proper names are regarded as “special” linguistic signs, whose translation possibility is judged very differently in the linguistic literature. This is related to the supposed “meaninglessness” or the limited meaning of proper names. This article aims to shed light on the translation practice regarding proper names by means of an empirical study in the language pair German-Hungarian. To this end, an online survey was conducted among Hungarian professional translators, asking about translational attitudes on the one hand, and practical translation solutions on the other. The rendering of names in translation thus consists of a mesh of linguistic, cultural and practical decisions. |
