A Comparison of Different Types of Translation of the Works of Bernardo Atxaga
This article summarizes the doctoral thesis entitled 'Euskal literatura beste hizkuntza batzuetara itzulia. Bernardo Atxagaren lanen itzulpen moten arteko alderaketa' (Basque Literature in Translation. A Comparison of the Different Types of Translation of the Works of Bernardo Atxaga). In order to conduct this analysis, we compiled a catalog of translated works and analyzed it from different perspectives: authors, works, target languages, etc. Different types of translation were identified in the analysis of the catalog. In the second phase, our purpose was to analyze and compare different types of translation. Using an abridged corpus consisting of various works by Bernardo Atxaga, we describe the differences among self-translation, collaborative translation and independent translation, and compare direct and indirect translations. Our primary hypothesis is that each type of translation produces a different result.
