Various activities related to translation

As well as translating, students can be involved in the following activities:

  • Comparing various translations of the same ST.
  • Assessing an existing translation and providing an alternative translation.
  • Translating the same ST but changing variables in the brief, so that the resulting TT varies accordingly, eg:
    user: recipe for a specialist chef or a child;
    time: 19th century poem to be translated into contemporary language;
    place: advert for a Spanish hotel to be published in Spain or Britain;
    medium: advert to be published or advert to be mentioned to a friend.
