TRANSLATION, COMMUNICATION, & CREATIVITY
A Translation Workshop with Kate Deimling, PhD
Alpern Room (LN 2200)
Translation is not about plugging terms into a formula, but about communication. The choices we make when translating require understanding context, style, and culture. Communicating with clients who need our services is also key so that our translation will be well suited to its purpose. In this language-neutral workshop, we’ll look at examples from various fields including advertising, art, and publishing and do some hands-on activities. This event is open to all students and interested in translation.
