Have you ever encountered words that have faded from use, terms tied to vanished worlds, and meanings that have transformed over centuries? How do you translate these terms for a modern reader?
While literary translation is widely discussed, the vital field of historical translation remains largely unexplored. In academia, for instance, there are only a handful of peer-reviewed articles that discuss this topic. Moreover, countless historical texts that are relevant to our modern world are at risk of falling into oblivion.
This practical workshop offers the opportunity to reflect on this topic. You will have the opportunity to translate excerpts from 19th and early 20th-century everyday documents in Spanish, French, Mandarin, Japanese, German, and Italian. We will discuss effective methods for tackling the translation of historical texts and explore the historical and cultural contexts that brought them to life. If you are passionate about history and want to practice translating brief passages from the past, this workshop is for you.

Purpose and function of this information submission form.
This form enables you to report issues or problems that you encounter in the course of court interpreting assignments. These issues and problems will be collected by AUSIT to report to the JCCD (the Judicial Council on Cultural Diversity) to monitor the implementation of the Recommended National Standards. The reporting of these issues and problems enables AUSIT to work with the JCCD to suggest steps to address these issues and to avoid the repetition of these problems in the future.
