Examine the excerpt extracted from “Localization from the Perspective of Translation Studies” (p. 2-3) by Anthony Pym and choose the alternative which DOES NOT CONTAIN features of the localization discourse: Within localization models, translation is reduced to just one small step in a larger process. Most theorists of translation, of the other hand, would want to see localization as just a part of translation. This has given rise to considerable debate and more than a little discontent (see ISG 2003). Localization models mostly recognize two kinds of processes: internationalisation (for the centralized preparation of products) and localization proper (for the adaptation of the product to locales). Translation Studies, on the other hand, has long worked with three spaces for processes: production of the source text, intervention of the translator, and reception of the target text (or translation). From that perspective, some things seem to be missing in the localizer’s view of the world.

Considering the description below, choose the corresponding type of interpreting: “The interpreter listens to a unit of the source language, often making notes, then delivers a translation of the content after the original speaker. This type is often used for meetings, seminars, speeches, presentations, and so on where the listeners all understand one of two languages. It does not require any special equipment. Often the interpreter will have a microphone and interpret the source language from off-stage; at other times the interpreter will be alongside the speaker.”
