“…The DTP artist did not understand this figure and removed the second Ł, considering it a typothe change was undone at the stage of the translator's proofreading. This is an example of a mistake resulting from the teamwork nature of the development of such texts, pointed out by Jankowski (2014). Fig.…”

This case study analyses the process of translation of a popular science (picture) book that originated from the Internet comic strip xkcd. It explores the obstacles resulting from the text-image interplay. At the macroscale, while such institutions in Poland as the Book Institute or translator associations do develop standards and provide information on the book market and good (or actual) practices, they never explicitly mention comic books-the closest one can find is "illustrated books" or "others". Additionally, popular science literature-which some might say is uninteresting-is much less discussed than artistic translation (with due allowance for comic books and graphic novels) despite having a tradition of using words and images together. Thing Explainer does seem to use "other" translatory techniques: firstly, because the author decided to use only the one thousand most common English words (a semantic dominant to be retained in Polish); and secondly, because the illustrations-from diagrammatic to extremely detailed-are an indispensable, though variably integrated with the verbal, medium of knowledge transfer. This paper focuses on the second aspect. Specifically, it discusses: the rigorous requirements for text volume and location (exacerbated by the said 1000word list); technical issues (including choosing typefaces, formatting text, modifying graphics, etc.

“…wywiedziony z pojęć Bachtinowskich "dialog" u Sylvii Liseling Nilsson (2012: 227 w kontekście ilustracji; 41-45 Bachtinowski kontekst pracy) czy "interpretacja plastyczna" (Imperowicz-Jurczak 2014). Zauważmy też mylne sugestie płynące z terminologii typu translating pictures (O'Sullivan 2006) czy "przekład graficzny" (Jankowski 2014), jeśli to nie obraz podlega przekładowi, lecz tekst słowny. Dla porównania, u Liangyu Fu (2013) translating illustrations istotnie odnosi się do przekształcania elementów wizualnych, zaś u Tamary Brzostowskiej-Tereszkiewicz graphic(al) translation oznacza zastąpienie tekstu słownego znakami graficznymi (2016: 170-180).…”

From Intersemiotic Translation to Intersemiotic Aspects of TranslationThe paper outlines a distinction between several allied notions related to intersemioticity, polysemioticity and translation, with examples pertaining to the indicated categories. It begins with an overview of how Roman Jakobson's concept of intersemiotic translation has been re-interpreted and broadened to account for more types of transformations and new modes of expression. Secondly, non-identity of referentiality and transmutation is indicated. Next, the notion of intersemiotic complementation is proposed for the instances that involve adding a new code to an existing work rather than changing its code. A distinction is also drawn between intersemiotic translation and intersemiotic aspects or contexts of interlingual translation (of a polysemiotic work or a verbal text which refers to non-discursive media). It is emphasized that it is this last category that deserves the attention of translation scholars, and some particular areas of interest are enumerated.

“…Hence, for instance, Sylvia Liseling Nilsson's "dialogue," derived from Bakhtin's concepts (2012: 227 in the context of illustrations; 41-45 for the Bakhtinian context of her study) or "visual interpretation" (Imperowicz-Jurczak 2014). I also intend to draw attention to misleading suggestions inherent in terminology like "translating pictures" (O'Sullivan 2006) or "graphic translation" (Jankowski 2014), if it is not the image that is subject to translation, but rather the verbal text. To compare, for Liangyu Fu (2013) "translating illustrations" actually means transforming the visuals and Tamara Brzostowska-Tereszkiewicz construes "graphic(al) translation" as replacing verbal text with graphic signs (2016: 170-180).…”
