Ina SÎTNIC Universitatea de Stat din Moldova

Abstract

The article examines the problem of translation errors made by third year students at the Department of Translation, Interpretation and Applied Linguistics, Moldova State University, during classes of consecutive interpreting, based on examples drawn from sight translation and consecutive interpreting from English into Romanian. We intend to focus on an extended typology that comprises translation mistakes, linguistic errors, semantic-pragmatic errors, extralinguistic errors, aiming at analysing their causes and the need to correct and avoid them. Keywords: consecutive interpreting, sight translation, interpreter training, translation errors, didactic approach.
