FOR ONLINE READING ONLY
TL readers; no omissions or additions to information;
precise vocabulary usage and register are precisely
and sensitively captured.

70-79 B Virtually no problems of comprehension except with
the most
highly specialised vocabulary with no influence on TL
readers’ understanding; some partial omissions and
additions to the information; specialised vocabulary
presents some problems with unsuitable equivalents,
but fairly sensitive to register and cultural context.

60-69 C Information is conveyed to TL readers with some
difficulty due to the translator’s misunderstanding of
some parts of the original message; apparent omissions
from and additions to the information; problems in
finding correct vocabulary; unable to cope with
specialised vocabulary.

50-59 D General comprehension of a fair range of vocabulary
although some gaps observed; some vocabulary
misused; some evidence of plausible attempts to work
around difficulties of finding equivalents, perception,
wordplay and other linguistic features; and severe
grammatical problems interfere greatly with the
message.

40-49 E Clumsy TL; often nonsensical grammatical usages
in TL; unnatural sounding; little attempt to reflect
stylistic features of
the original; there is evidence of clear difficulties in
following style.
