ABSTRACT

This paper aims to apply Gile's Effort Model to translation process to underline the significance of efficient time management. Daniel Gile emphasizes the difficulties and mental efforts involved in interpreting process, suggesting necessary strategies to handle these problems. The Model is based on the concept of processing capacity and in this model, interpreting tasks are viewed as a non-automatic operation that requires much processing capacity. In order for interpreters to reduce unexpected interpreting errors and enhance the overall quality of interpretation, they are advised to make the best of mental capacity by properly allocating one's own energy to each effort. Unlike Gile's Effort Model, this paper assumes the amount of time given to a translation process as an object of management and coordination. Translation process consists of Listening and Analysis, Information Research, and Production. Each phase requires different time allotments depending on text type, purpose of translation, its status, etc. If a translator gives more than necessary time to a certain process, due to his ignorance of efficient time management, it would result in reduced quality of the product, fraught with under-translation from insufficient time for research or unrefined target language from lack of revision time in production phase. Accordingly, time management model for translation should be contemplated in the translating process to provide high-quality translation.
