| Summary: | From a Hispanic comparatist perspective, we revisit the lack of terminological consensus in the field of translation studies, focusing on the key concepts of original, source text, and version.

Our proposal is non-prescriptive and it also aims at calling for consensus on the terminology applied in translation studies for greater accuracy, understanding, or discrepancy, as well. |
