Lithuanian Translation Workshop 1 3020-BB1TRL
The course is designed to broaden the lexical resources (both active and passive) and develop skills in translating various types of texts: literary (the concept of linguistic stylisation, the phenomenon of cultural non-translatability), specialist and official documents. The syllabus also includes a discussion of common translation errors and methods of solving translation problems, based on various translation strategies.
Through practical exercises on selected texts, participants are introduced to the methodology of translation work, become familiar with potential pitfalls that lie in wait for a translator, and learn to take responsibility for their interpretative choices and decisions concerning the translation strategy.
