Level classifications of translation conformity as a method for assessing translation quality

Abstract

This article is devoted to the consideration of existing level classifications of equivalence, in particular, the classification of G. Jaeger as a method for assessing translated texts in the English-Russian language pair. When working with texts, methods of contextual and corpus analysis were used, as well as a synthesis method to identify similarities between translations. The texts were assessed by assigning each one an appropriate classification level. According to the results of the assessment with its help, three texts turned out to be of the highest level of compliance with the original. In addition to the selection of texts carried out, conclusions were drawn about the composition and hierarchy of levels and about the successful prospects for using classifications in translation activities.
