"La manière de bien traduire d'une langue en aultre" by Estienne Dolet is a treatise on translation written during the Renaissance period, specifically in the mid-16th century. This work focuses on guiding translators on how to effectively convey the meaning and nuances of one language into another, particularly from Latin to French, reflecting the author's commitment to enhancing the French language's elegance and status. In this book, Dolet presents five essential rules for translation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the original text, mastering both source and target languages, and avoiding literal translations that could obscure the author's intent. He elaborates on the nuances of language structure, such as the importance of punctuation, accents, and rhetorical devices, to ensure that translated works maintain their original style and meaning. Continuing his advocacy for the refinement of the French language, Dolet draws on examples from classical authors, illustrating the complexities of translation while underscoring the cultural significance of linguistic mastery. Through his work, Dolet aims to elevate the status of the French language and provides practical insights for translators seeking to produce works of literary merit.
