Good morning! I'm currently studying to become an interpreter and I've chosen to carry out an investigation on these two topics:
1. Sometimes, source discourse is defective. What kind of problems have you come across? For example, in this forum someone mentioned many Spanish are confusing because they do away with every personal pronoun up to a point when you can't understand who is the subject. Another problem in the source discourse would be a scholar who uses connectors or other structures that don't make sense (this happens a lot). For example, someone may say: "This is really important; nevertheless, it is useful to bear it in mind". Which other problems have you found in source discourses?
2. What do you do about these mistakes? For example, in the former example, would you say "nevertheless" in the other language or change it for "therefore" (something that does make sense)?

Thank you in advance!!
