Description

A panel exploring the ways that practitioners go about translating different kinds of texts or activity, literary or otherwise.

Celebrating modern languages and their contribution to cross-cultural understanding and literary enjoyment, Maria Sanchez-Otiz (Spanish & Latin American Studies) chairs this panel with Lesley Crerar (BSL), Taylor Strickland (Gaelic) and Zhu Zhu (Chinese). Will AI ruin everything? What is lost and gained in translation, and why is this important?
