Abstract

This article aims at outlining an application of an English-German translation corpus annotated on the basis of language specific register features. We discuss the relevance of cross-linguistic register differences for translation and show how translators can benefit from registerially annotated parallel corpora, which serve as on-line references offering register-oriented translation solutions.
