Translation of technical texts from German into Czech
Fořtová, Bohuslava ; Svoboda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Špirk, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to provide an insight into the translation of technical texts from German to Czech. The theoretical part discusses the present state of knowledge of technical translation in Czech and German speaking countries, the scientific discourse, text typology and classification of texts with regard to the context. Furthermore, this thesis describes contrasts of technical texts, and their characteristic features on a lexical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and text level. This thesis focuses on technical translation of medical texts with their most common text types and specific features, and explains implications for their translation from German to Czech. The empirical part of the thesis includes translation analysis of a chosen text type and an overview of main text types in medicine, followed by examples of parallel texts in Czech and German. To provide more objective information about translation of technical texts, a survey was carried out among translators and translation services agencies. The subsequent results were compared with the findings presented in the theoretical part. In the conclusion, this thesis summarizes the results of the research into the translation of technical texts from German to Czech with regard to medical texts and offers suggestions for further research.

Within these first two parts, we always first give an introduction into the particular topic giving an historical overview of research formulated in our three languages of main interest - English, German and Czech, with, Spanish being mentioned to a much lesser extent. We address the issue of translation into non-mother tongues and translation associated computer technologies in relation to the text we analyze in the analytical part of the thesis. There, we analyze a typical type of business-administrative text - annual reports. We compare the results with the theory knowledge. The analysis of the interview led in the company that provided the texts for the analysis serves as supplementary information. Finally we sum up the hitherto carried out research and correlate it with the results of our translatological analysis.

Variants of translation of German compounds into Czech (illustrated with translation of economic texts)
VONÁŠKOVÁ, Jiřina
There are lot of variants how to translate German compounds into Czech. The reason is that in German the composition takes the most important place among the word-forming pattern. In Czech the main word-forming pattern is the derivation. This is the reason, why it is not possible to translate German compound into Czech by using the compound. The aim of the work is to create the summary of variants on the basis of analysis of economic texts. The texts are professional, so it is not possible to omit the terms, because the terms are the main charakterisctic of technical language.
