Given the large mass (greenhouse club ...) bad translations flooding books, magazines, newspapers, radio, television, etc. . , these pseudo - translations galore and galore, it was time to take their attitude and tell their truths to amateurs and dilettantes comp. , who believe that everything is permitted translation . Enough is enough ! In this test rather an article review, advice and recommendations are given to potential future translators, who need to know that all Homo ludens can not become a good translator, because the translation is not a game! Except that its rules and constraints must come from within, the translator accepts the yoke and penalties that assumes a literary or poetic translation. The act of translation is a risk assumed consciously, where you do not win every time ! Unless the translator adheres to the body and soul of this rough daunting task indeed!
