Hi all, I am translating a text on a Spanish engraver, written by an art historian. Source: Spanish - Target: English. The source text includes some quotes in French - these will remain in French. But one of them is followed by a translation into Spanish, and also states the name of the FR-SP translator. This one will have to go into English. It is a fragment of a poem, about 35 words, and I have managed to find an existing English translation online. For me this is a bit like avoiding back translations: if FR-EN already exists, that should be better than doing FR-SP and then SP-EN. The question is: if I use the FR-EN translation I have found, should I acknowledge the author/translator? ▲ Collapse

Yes, I believe you should name both the author and translator. How would you see it if you were either of them? I think you'd want to be acknowledged.
