Description

Some languages, for instance, cannot use a name without a proposed particle functioning as name qualifier. In such a case, both for native and foreign names, the translator should comply with usage, giving the name in the wan names are given in the receptor language. In honorific languages name qualifiers tend to be differentiated according to the person’s rank or status, and may then acquire the force of titles; on the other band, titles can function as name qualifiers, and may even become fused with the name (cp. the use of ‘Saint’, as discussed in Think, p. 5). Such a title or qualifier, though obligatory with native naines, may never, or rarely, be employed with foreign names. Thus, in several languages of India a,, locally used polite title would sound as strange with ‘Luke’ as “Doctor would sound in the English Bible; some versions have solved the problem by introducing sadhu (as a translation of ‘saint’) to do duty as name qualifying title.
