Web Translation Projects/Approaches to Translating Dialect/Partial translation

This strategy resembles lexicalisation but involves, in fact, a distinct translation process. It entails an incomplete intralingual and interlingual translation of the SL which excludes select excerpts (usually lexical elements that come from a third language). The social deixis which is aimed at, both in the SL and the TL, is the foreign origin of the speaker, but while the original may introduce other dialect markers to indicate that, the translation will only retain the foreign elements on the level of lexis. The social deixis is therefore retained but, similarly as in the case of lexicalisation, slightly weakened.
