Re: Dragon NaturallySpeaking and Xy

Patricia,
Of course one can do whatever is necessary to make a translation idiomatic
in the receiving language. The epistemological dictum of the scholastics
applies, I think, equally to translation: quidquid recipitur, recipitur in
modo recipientis (whatever is received is received in the manner of the
recipient).

Jesus! That's just what I'm working on in my writing! What is the source of
that quote? Is it in Aquinas? References ... I need references! Please!


Regards,
Harry
