With the help of the diverse components of the CDA analysis, it has been revealed that there is a tendency for translators to produce target texts that reflect and/or reinforce the ideology and political orientation shared by the actual client and translators tend to lean towards the actual client bias-wise in their target texts. The political mass communication analysis has further underscored the existence of translator behaviour in that translators approximate the actual client’s expectations in terms of the ideology and bias reproduced in the target texts. It must at the same time be noted that in case the source text shares a different or opposing ideology or political bias to that of the client, the resulting target texts are likely to become ideological or political hybrids, i.e. texts that feature two or more diverse or different, possibly opposing, ideologies or political orientations. A parallel between the work of journalists and translators has been established in the examined political mass communication context, and it has been shown that both journalists and translators adjust their texts primarily to the expectations of the client.

In terms of the limitations and future applicability of the current undertaking, it must be pointed out that the current research is intended as an exploratory, qualitative study. Its aim has been to produce a discourse-specific theory and to develop, introduce and test a text-type specific analytical tool by way of the application of the tool in a case study. Given that the research is based on a limited number of source and target texts, the results cannot be generalized to any other text or text type than argumentative political newspaper articles, any other language pairs than Hungarian and English, any other political contexts than the Hungarian political climate of 2008 or any other translators than the two participants of the research. The results, however, show possible tendencies to be justified by later research and the obtained results are transferable to other research projects focusing on the analysis of political and ideological bias in other text types or texts written in other languages, let them be translations or not. Given this, the Political Bias Screener can be used or adapted for such purposes as necessitated by the research in question.
