	Justa Holz-Mänttäri’s theory of translational action	takes into account practical issues while, at the same time, placing the emphasis firmly on the reader of the TT. This means, for example, that things like the source text type may be altered if it is deemed to be inappropriate for the target culture. She sees translation as an action that involves a series of players, each of whom performs a specific role in the process. The language used to label the players very much resembles that of Western economic jargon – initiator, commissioner, ST producer, TT producer, TT user, TT receiver that is adding another dimension to the theory of translation	34
	Lead	Apart from replacing a Simple Sentence by a Subordinate Complex Sentence or Coordinate Complex Sentence it can also be replaced by 2 or more Simple Sentences. It is especially practiced in the translation of the so-called “leads”. A Lead is the first sentence of news-in-brief which contains the main point of the information. It usually coincides with the first paragraph and is usually divided into 2 or more sentences in translation.
