About This Activity
Description
The Art of Translation is a three-part workshop series exploring how translators bring an author’s voice to life in another language. Each session combines a short introduction with hands-on exercises and group discussion, focusing on the choices that carry the original text’s tone, rhythm, and meaning into English. Sessions may be attended individually or as a series. Open to participants of all levels of French, the workshops focus on translation choices and the crafting of literary voice in English. A solid command of English is essential. No prior translation experience is required. Whose Voice Is It?
