L'importanza della traduzione professionale nel processo di internazionalizzazione d'impresa: un'esperienza presso la Rinieri S.r.l.

The present work is part of the Language Toolkit project, born between the Chamber of Commerce of Romagna and the Department of Interpretation and Translation of Forlì. The collaboration for this work was organized with Rinieri S.r.l., a company which produces agricultural machineries, and the object of the thesis is the translation of their product catalogue from Italian into Russian. The work highlights the importance of translation for companies that decide to internationalize themselves. In particular, the thesis shows how professional translation turns out to be fundamental, as specialized texts often cause many difficulties during translation, which can only be solved by specialists who know in detail both the technical area of the texts and the translation strategies to tackle linguistic, stylistic and cultural difficulties. The work is composed of four chapters. The first one gives a framework of the company and an overview of the internationalization process, highlighting the different strategies that can be implemented by companies to be visible at an international level. The chapter also focuses on the importance of translating their written materials, since this process can bring to an increase in the level of export. The second chapter gives an overview of specialized languages, and of the tools used by specialized translators. The third chapter focuses on the analysis of the text and on the methodology used for its translation, and particular attention is given to the process of creation of a specialized corpus and to the terminological research. The last chapter is dedicated to the discussion of the translation strategies used to tackle the main problems that arouse from the linguistic and cultural differences between the source and the target text.
