This conceptual paper looks at non-literary translation as a service, applying a paradigm of Service-Dominant S-D logic (S-D logic) to the field. Practices in translation service provision are analysed using the Facilities-Transformation-Usage framework (FTU framework), designed on the premises of S-D logic, as a tool. The paper shows that translation practices in general comply with this theoretical perspective, making translation, by definition, a service, and opens a window into the aspects that make it a service. Some current practices in the field do not, however, meet the criteria of an <em>ideal </em>service. These practices are discussed briefly in order to pinpoint, from the service theoretical point of view, where the problems lie.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>}, journal={HERMES - Journal of Language and Communication in Business}, author={Kujamäki, Minna}, year={2020}, month={Jul.}, pages={191–207} }
