When I say that I agree with the NWT policy of consistency I mean that I agree
that a particular concept should be translated consistently otherwise the
translator could rightly come under the accusation of forcing his own
interpretation on the poor readers who often remain in ignorance of the
decisions which have been taken for them.
I totally agree with you, with the consistency requirement understood as avove.
Where I disagree with the NWT is that those core concepts, according to my
experience, cannot be mapped onto our current definition of a 'word'. ...
In conclusion,
a) I agree that consistency is a requirement
b) I do not agree that the unit of consistency should be the arbitrary division
we currently ascribe to 'words'
