The Art Of Translation | My Analysis Of Two Books Side By Side
Manage episode 463659255 series 2936123
How much meaning is lost when you are reading a translation?
Today is a special episode where I am going over my findings from reading 'O Alquimista' in the original Portuguese and it's English translation side by side. I found that although the grammar prompt some differences the biggest effect was stylistic choices by the translator. This includes minor things like cutting out words/sentences to larger alterations such as removing potentially 'racist' remarks.
Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)
