- using the basic translation procedures
- benefiting from inspiration provided by excellent Czech/French translations of French/Czech literature - Syllabus
- The first third of the semester focuses on issues of naming the extralinguistic reality. Within the remaining two-thirds of the semester, students get familiar with basic translation techniques and practice them by translating various short texts, for which they get individual feedback from the teacher.
- During the whole semester, students read selected books, representing examples of excellent translation from French to Czech and from Czech to French.
- Students enrol in this course in conjunction with Text and Discourse Analysis for Translators ROMPRB001).
