It is posited here that professional translation has nothing to do with the academic exercise of ‘translation’ as practised in language courses; the latter is a purely linguistic exercise, generally applied to literary texts, and without any implication of publication. Nor does it have any relation to “translating for pleasure” , which is translation carried out in relaxed circumstances, just ‘for fun’. If professional translators get satisfaction from their work, they certainly do not translate for the sheer pleasure of translating. They mean business.
