Effect of Competence in the Translation of Safety Manuals: Assessment Study

The quality of the translation of safety manuals as a part of technical texts is one of the factors that can explain the extent to which the necessary protection is provided to workers in potentially dangerous areas, whether by working in a specific environment or using particular equipment or machines. However, this translation area has yet to be extensively researched. The importance of this study derives from the fact that translating safety manuals is a challenging task due to various challenges related to grammatical and linguistic differences between two languages, especially the issue of the absence of technical or scientific equivalence in the target language. This study will discuss the problems that may occur while translating technical texts, find solutions to them, and highlight the importance of the skills required by translators during this type of translation.
