Key words: technical translation, technical communication, science and technical writing, translation process, creative potential.


The article is devoted to the analysis of the science and technical literature translator’s potential in the context of combined disciplines “Technical Translation” and “Technical Communication”, based on D. Birn’s and K. Shubrt’s studies. Nowadays it has become obvious that science and technical translation’s obstacles are coursed not only by different structures and language rules involved in the process and perfection of requirements to the accuracy of translation that is to reflect the information in details but also by the specificity of the translation process itself that is of great importance. The most important role in this process is played by the creative potential of the translator, written translation being of primary importance. Clarity, accuracy and grammar, being principle stylistic goals of the written translation, coincide with the principle stylistic goals of technical translation. “Technical translator” acts as a “technical” writer.
