Extra-linguistic aspects in translation processes: analysis of a few examples from a comparison of French translations of Milan Kundera's La Plaisanterie

The process of translation does not only involve going from one language to another, but also from one reality to another, from one extra-linguistic world to another. The comparison between the first translation in French by Marcel Aymonin in 1968 of La Plaisanterie (The Joke) by Milan Kundera and the second translation, revised by the author and Claude Courtot in 1985, reveals the choices that every translator must do concerning the extra-linguistic differences he faces. Several examples, such as the way Kundera translated proper names or how he dealt with the details of Czech history, enable us to say, that most of the time, Kundera tried to neutralize the Czech specificities while Aymonin kept them.
