We have today a number of versions in different languages of Terminologie de la traduction / Translation terminology, originally compiled in four languages by Jean Delisle, Hannelore Lee-Jahnke and Monique C. Cormier (1999). To assess how these versions were prepared, nine editors have been contacted by e-mail and asked to respond to a series of questions: How did they proceed to select the terms, to write their definitions, to insert the examples? In a paradoxical way, the answers do not seem to reflect a clear and thorough methodology. The metalanguage of translation is far from enjoying consensus and the way to reach an agreement is all but simple.
Résumé
Il existe actuellement différentes versions étrangères de la Terminologie de la traduction, édité déjà en quatre langues, en Delisle, Jean, Hannelore Lee-Jahnke and Monique C. Cormier, eds. 1999. Terminologie de la traduction / Translation terminology / Terminología de la traducción / Terminologie der Übersetzung. Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins. 433 pp.   Google Scholar logo with link to Google Scholar et al. Pour comprendre comment ces versions ont été réalisées, nous avons interrogé par courriel neuf éditeurs. Comment les termes ont-ils été sélectionnés, les définitions rédigées, les exemples choisis ? De façon paradoxale, les réponses ne manifestent guère des procédures claires et méthodiques. Le métalangage de la traduction apparaît ainsi encore assez éloigné de tout consensus et les manières d’y parvenir encore loin d’être simples.
