Question from Beatrice Peaslee:
BibliographiesHello-
I'm a translation student doing some Spanish to English volunteer work. The document I'm currently working on has a bibliography of titles in the source language and I would like to know if they should be translated to the target or left in the source.
Thank you!

Hello Beatrice, Normally the names of books should be left in the source language, but in case they are translated into the target language their title can be mentioned in parenthesis, or in italics. Hope this helps you Madalena Marcão

The bibliographies usually are not translated but in case you think they may be useful for your client you must translate them only if the books or documents named in there exist in a Spanish version.

Sorry I meant to say in an English version or edition

Bibliographies are always cited in their source language with very accurate citation where these publications can be found. They can not be found in a translated language unless they are published in other languages also.
