A Study of the Translation of Special Education Texts from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology

Abstract

As an important vehicle for conveying educational concepts, policies and technical support, the translation quality of special education texts directly affects the sharing and practice of cross-cultural special education resources. Based on Eco-Translatology and with “three-dimension transformation” as the core framework, taking the academic essay collection Routledge Handbook of Adapted Physical Education edited by Dr. Justin A. Haegele of Old Dominion University in the United States as an example, this paper discusses the translation of special education texts from the linguistic, cultural and communicative dimensions through case studies and other methods. The translation of special education texts needs to consider the accuracy of terminology, cultural adaptability, and audience accessibility. Translators need to balance “adaptation” and “selection” to achieve the best translation that adapts to the target language environment. This article aims to try to summarize some of the methods and techniques for translating special education texts, to provide some theoretical reference for the translation of similar texts in the future, and to promote the effective dissemination of special education resources around the world.
