Magnifying glasses modifying maps

Abstract
There has been some debate about the usefulness of translation theory in initial levels of translator training. Here we consider translation theory as a form of declarative knowledge abstracted from translation practice and empirical studies. We report on a study in which the data suggest that translation theory can have a positive impact on the performance of undergraduate participants in an introductory translation course.
