(1) They should promote their ability to translate and assess the
quality of translation by observing formal correspondences,
identifying obligatory, extended and accessory meanings and,
lastly, establishing the closest equivalence between the source and

source text to avoid any unpredictable lapses into under- or over-
translation.
(3) Integration between the various layers of meaning should be
maintained, and an equilibrium between the form and content of the
text should be established.
(4) The interference of subjective factors in SL text analysis and/or
translation is not seriously detrimental to the source message
unless it was overdone. However, such interference could be
avoided if the translator adhered to the skeletal meaning of the
source text.
