Translation: An introduction

Translation means converting written information from one language into another. Conversion is not restricted to written text. For example, text can be converted to a CD, DVD or sound file. Tip: Learning about your target audience will help you to identify the most suitable format into which the resource should be translated. For a target audience with limited literacy in their community language, information translated into written text is unsuitable.


CBS3801 Introduction to Translation is a subject that contains 2 hours lecture and 1 hour seminar every week. Meanwhile, we don't have much chance to ask questions during the seminar. So, the learning materials would be a good answer key for our questions. Also, there are too much things to be learnt in translation. It is hard to cover all the things in a lecture.. This website has provided links and knowledge that could not provide in the lecture.
