Defining Objectives

I recently had to translate a letter from a homeowner to a loan company from Spanish to English and came across a lot of instances where his tone of voice was reflected in the clients ten page paper. Through the document and with his tone he portrayed how he was ignored by the loan company. It is always a challenge to portray the tone of the paper from one language to another as words cannot just simply be directly translated. Most of the time the tone of a translated paper gets lost in translation as the objective of the translator is to give meaning to the words over carrying out the personality of the writer.
