Full and Frank

To speak your mind
-To reply to someone on a given situation from your point of view on a matter. By telling them your thoughts/opinions ( feelings) in regards to the matter.
Not pull any punches

Translation:
Full and Frank - "opreg en eerlik"
To speak your mind - "Sê wat jy op reg dink?"
Not pull any punches - "Moenie jou eerlike opinies terug hou nie."

In order to find an equivalent meaning for these idioms and fixed expressions in the Target language 'Afrikaans' I had to keep the meaning these phrases are trying to convey in it's source language. So in the target text I would write the meaning they are conveying as suppose as writing them as Idioms or fixed expressions. It is for the benefit of the reader. Because, if not the meaning of these phrases will get lost in translation.

Explanation of the idioms and fixed expressions:

-        “full and frank”: Honest, sincere, and telling the truth (even if it makes one another uncomfortable).

-        “airing of the issues”: expressing one’s opinions or feelings about things/problems that might bother or concern you

-        “speak your minds”: to express one’s opinions frankly

-        “not pull any punches”: to speak in an honest way without trying to be kind and not holding back.

Translation:

Ek glo dat hierdie slegs gedoen kan word deur ‘n eerlike gesprek te hê oor die probleme. Ek moedig almal van julle aan om oop kaarte te speel en nie terug te hou nie.

Reflection on the translation process:

The source text contained many idioms, which always makes translation challenging. Afrikaans does not necessarily have equivalents to the idioms in the source text. Therefore, one has to ensure that the same message is conveyed even without these idioms. I also tried to include one idiom that conveys the same meaning in Afrikaans to keep the same tone as the source text. Translating idioms can be very challenging, but it is definitely possible.

The translator was able to identity fixed expression and idiom in the extract.
