Özet:

A translation of any kind takes place in particular conditions and involves the contribution of various elements. These elements appear to the translator as constraints, according to which he should act to make his choices and accomplish his translation. These constraints are more like obstacles sometimes, difficulties that might lead the translator to untranslatability. While some other times they act like norms and lead him to a good adaptation and therefore a successful translation. Is the role of constraints in translation different from other fields or are there any similarities? Does the reasoning by constraints or the general theory of constraints apply to the field of translation? And are there any advantages in applying this theory? The logic of constraints is a logic which takes into consideration all constraining given of a situation and tends to satisfy them, with the purpose of optimizing the result within available possibilities. To apply the logic of constraints to translation is to be able to identify these constraints, measure their degree of influence and study their behavior. It is also to be able to manage these constraints in a way that would enable us to reach a better result, which would be in our case a better translation. It would be interesting to apply this principle on the assessment of translators, and try to change or isolate different constraints and then compare the obtained results. I will try in this paper to show up the importance of this logic in the assessment of translators and therefore in their training.
