About this event
Join us for our final CJS webinar of the year, where we host a roundtable with translators of Japanese academic texts to hear their experiences and insights. Anyone who has used Google Translate will know of the nuance required in providing an accurate translation which reads well in its translated language. Academic texts present an extra layer of challenge in capturing exactly what the original author is asserting, the strength of their argument and even adapting a text which addresses a domestic audience to a global audience. This webinar is a must-see for both those entering area studies academia where translation is a valuable and much called upon skill and those looking to enter the world of professional translation. Speakers include academics who have collaborated in translating academic texts for the Sainsbury Institute, as well as lecturers in Translation Studies at the University of East Anglia. Hear their experiences and advice before posing your own questions to the panel in a Q&A.
