Abstract
The following article is a revised version of a lecture held at 2007 Vienna Euroconference on LSP Translation Scenarios on May 1st. It raises the question of whether Audio Description is a form of translation and discusses some of the inherent specifics of that question, which so far has not been systematically researched. Within this general framework it discusses the RASU project (Research on Audio Description at Saarland University) directed by the author at the ATRC of Saarland University on the relationship between Translation and Audio Description. This article will give a short overview of the project and reports on initial differentiations made in the project. It is written to share and discuss the problems rather than to provide definite answers. [Source: Author]
