conservando la naturalidad del texto

Explanation:
Or:

"conservando la naturalidad del lenguaje [del texto]"

"Organicity" strikes me as an awkward word in English and seems simply to refer to the "naturalness" of the language. "Organicidad" seems equally awkward in Spanish.

I would therefore opt for "naturalidad" [and, if I were editing the English text, I would opt for "naturality" in English].

Of course, none of the above applies if this is really a text written strictly for professional linguists and "organicity" has some special meaning within that discipline.

Suerte.

Hi.

It sounds like the reference is simplyto preserving the natural flow of language in a translated text so that it doesn't look like it is an obvious translation. This is something of a standard ideal in translation and I myself don't remember seeing "organicity" or "organic structure" used in such a context and the terms sound rather odd and stilted to me--in both English and Spanish.

Again, I am not a linguist (merely a translator) so if "organic" or "organicity" and their Spanish equivalents have some special meaning--if they are "terms of art"--then you may want to keep them. It doesn't sound like they are absolutely esential here, that's all.

Best regards. :)

Notes to answerer

Asker: hey ..I found this online ...I think it has to do with my translation about delisle ...... .."Clearly the text cannot be the UT in the 'narrow' sense defined by Vinay and Darbelnet. That would be chaos. The largest quantity of translation in a text is done at the level of the word, the lexical unit, the collocation, the group, the clause and the sentence – rarely the paragraph, never the text – probably in that order. The text can rather be described as the ultimate court of appeal; every stretch at every level of the translation has to conform to the unity of the text, its integrating properties, what Delisle calls its 'textual organicity', if such exists (often it does not)."....could it be conservando la estructura del texto??? or any idea??? thank you
