Session

How do translators understand source texts and produce translations? What do they research while they translate? How do they find the answers to their queries in the shortest possible time? Is there any value in using an AI assistant to make research more effective? In this workshop, we will see first-hand how two experienced translators tackle source texts in areas often encountered by their colleagues. In an event that is sure to spur a lively dialogue with the attendees, Rie Moriguchi and Tony Atkinson will demonstrate their approaches to translation from the standpoints of Japanese and English native speakers as they dissect extracts from two source texts line by line. Attendees are welcome to participate in either Japanese or English. Several grammatical issues that often trouble translators will also be explored further in the workshop. The presenters look forward to your enthusiastic participation in this event.
