English term or phrase: Overt/Covert Translation
In overt translation, the work of the translator is important and visible. Since it is the
translator’s task to give target culture members access to the original text and its
cultural impact on source culture members, the translator puts target culture members
in a position to observe and/or judge this text “from outside.”

In covert translation, which is a case of “language use,” the translator must attempt
to re-create an equivalent speech event. Consequently, the function of a covert translation
is to reproduce in the target text the function the original has in its frame and
discourse world. A covert translation operates therefore quite “overtly” in the frame
and discourse world provided by the target culture, with no attempt being made to
co-activate the discourse world in which the original unfolded. Covert translation is
thus at the same time psycholinguistically less complex and more deceptive than
overt translation. Since true functional equivalence is aimed at, the original may be
manipulated at the levels of Language/Text and Register via the use of a “cultural
filter.”

Turkish translation:açık/kapalı çeviri
Explanation:
Ref:

"Eşdeğerlilik bağlamda ‘covert’ (kapalı) ve ‘overt translation’ (açık) çeviri olmak üzere iki farklı kavramı ortaya atan House’a göre ‘kapalı’ çeviride, kaynak metin ‘yerelleştirilerek’ çevrildiğinden, başka bir söyleyişle, çeviride erek kültürün
değerleri, ‘söylem dünyası’, alıcıya doğrudan seslenme ön planda olduğundan, kaynak metinden sapmalarla daha çok karşılaşılmaktadır.
Buna karşın, ‘açık’ çeviride, kaynak metnin işlevi korunmadan alıcıya ve onun kültürüne yabancı olan değerler/göstergeler değiştirilmeden yansıtılmaktadır.
