Hands-on translation Workshop Using Source Texts from the 13th Annual JAT Contest

Hands-on translation workshop using source texts from the 13th Annual JAT Contest for New and Aspiring Japanese/English Translators

In this hands-on workshop, we will examine both Japanese-to-English and English-to-Japanese source texts, and the facilitators will challenge participants to translate several sample sentences. We will then take a look at how the contest entrants translated them and hear from the contest winners and finalists attending the workshop about the difficulties they encountered in working on those sentences. Translators of all levels, beginners to veterans, are welcome to attend. The source texts are not at all easy stuff.
