For example, one may talk of translation asa process ora product, and identify such sub-types as literary translation, technical translation, subtitling and machine translation; moreover, while more typically it just refers to the transfer of written texts, the term sometimes also includes interpreting. ------ (Dictionary of Translation Studies, Shuttleworth and Cowie 1997:181) 4.
