In conversation: translating cultures.

Based on a conversation conducted in Glasgow on 18 July 2019 between Charles Burdett (CB), Angela Creese (AC), Alison Phipps (AP), Charles Forsdick (CF) and Barbara Spadaro. So, to a degree each member of the large team of researchers was very much concerned with talking about processes of linguistic and cultural translation and seeing the way in which practices, cultures, ways of being in the world change as a result of that transposition, that translation movement. In terms of the question about translation studies, watching that process happen with some of the researchers on my own project, it would be safe to say that really only myself and David Gramling had any background in translation studies - but actually, several other researchers in the team really enjoyed the reading list for translation studies. We found that translation was not only about interlingual translation from one language to another, but also included intersemiotic and intralingual translation as the community advisor worked to translate from official documents to the spoken word, and from different registers of English and Mandarin.
