Abstract

Description

In this experiential workshop, participants will come to understand how translation is fundamentally about bringing different cultural spheres into contact with each other through language. Every day we consume translated movies and books, use software and play video games that were released in dozens of languages at once, and engage with international news and multilingual political structures—the work of translators is all around us. But what exactly does the work of a translator look like? In this workshop, we will build from the ways translation touches our lives toward a picture of what it means to work as a translator today. Participants will be introduced to some common computer-assisted translation tools and practice their newly acquired translation skills.
