AB - This paper discusses translators’ responsibility and right during book translation, revision and publishing process. Researcher’s personal experience is used as an example case. In that case, the publishing company wasn’t satisfied with translation quality, so the translator had to take moral and economic responsibility for revision process, not knowing what and how her translation being revised. This paper compares the translator‘s text with the published text and finds out that there are many non-agreeable revisions as well as agreeable ones. Then some questions arise: does the translator have to be responsible for the heavily-revised and published text, does she have right to examine the revised text before publishing? Tentative suggestions are as follows: 1) translators and publishing companies have to agree on translation strategies in the contracting stage. 2) translators need to participate in revision process, checking what and how his/her text being revised.
