Description
This course focuses on the practice of translating Japanese to English. Translation theory is introduced for students to familiarize themselves with the various techniques and tools Japanese language translators and interpreters tend to apply in their studies, professions, or travels. The course focuses especially on retaining the voice of the original Japanese source and on producing clean and accurate English translations of the material. Students have a choice of articles or short stories to translate for their final projects. The class is open to students who completed EALC-3100 and to native or fluent Japanese speakers.
