+> The paper argues for the suitability, or at least acceptability, of a translation style which I call *jolie laide*, i.e.
+> a rendering which is not necessarily exquisite in its aesthetic quality but is as faithful as possible to the original and perfectly intelligible in the target language.
+> This is not a mechanical process, and in order to meet these standards, the translator should allow for flexibility and make full use of the critical apparatus.
+> I do not rule out, however, other rendering strategies, and the last part of my contribution illustrates the possibility of having *jolies laides* side by side with free translations.
+> The article also contains an appendix on Dao’an’s‘five [points of permissible] deviation from the original and three [points which should remain] unchanged’ and Xuanzang’s‘five types [of Indic words which should] not be translated’.
