Workshop Discussion “Translating Literature into Plain Language”: Texts About the Body

Literary translators from Berlin have written.

They met and experimented:

How do you translate a story into plain language?

How does it remain a good story in the process?

How do you keep the impact similar?

For example, how do you keep the tone the same?

Or the pace?

People with learning disabilities have reviewed the texts:

Are the texts understandable?

On September 22, the translators will read aloud.

In plain language.

For the first time.

For everyone.

‍

When?

On September 22 at 5 p.m.

‍

How will the discussions be made accessible?

Dorothea Traupe will host the event.

The texts and discussions are in plain language.

Inga Schiffler will be there as a comprehension assistant.

She helps everyone understand.

Jona Neugebauer draws simple pictures.

That also helps with understanding.
