Every generation needs its own translation of the great works, and perhaps, in about 20 years, when I have finished, it will be the right time for a new translation. It will be heavily edited at a later time. There is still room for more stylistic changes. I have used the 1954 Pleiade edition of La Recherche du temps perdu, because it is in the public domain. Be faithful to the original text.
Literal translation is the basic translation technique, and is overruled for stylistic reasons only.
The basic unit of translation is the clause. The order of given and new information should be respected whenever possible. Word order should be respected whenever possible. When sentence length is a result of stylistic choices, it must be respected. When punctuation is a result of stylistic choices, it must be respected.
