Fundamentals of documentary research in translation

Abstract

Today, the importance of the documentary research in all stages of
the translation process cannot be denied as well as the role of "cognitive
complements" in order to produce a logical and accurate translation.
In this article, we try, first, to understand better the documentary
research, its principles and steps; then, to highlight the need to promote it
in translation didactics in Algeria, and to teach the apprentice translators
how to be able to “summon up” extralinguistic knowledge.
