The notion of ‘problem’ has been looming large in discourse about translation, regardless of whether the discourse had theoretical (e.g. Holmes’ category of ‘Problem-Restricted [Partial] Theoretical Translation Studies’), descriptive-explanatory or applied aspirations. Whether the word ‘problem’ itself was used or not, the logical complement of ‘problem’, ‘solution’, is much rarer.
