IJET-33 (May 9–11, 2025)
Session
Translating for Publication [presentation in Japanese]
My talk will have two sections.
In the first half, I will use my experience translating dozens of works—including some by Dan Brown—to offer concrete examples in discussing what to watch out for when approaching a translation. I also plan to use translations by former translation class students and AI as springboards for explanation.
In the second half, I will discuss the state of the literary/publishing translation industry today, using my own experiences as much as possible. It’s likely I will mention things I shouldn’t write in a public forum, so the conversation could get a little raw.
