Text, Image & Sound

Eileen Chow and Sarah Alys Lindholm discuss their experiences and expertise translating audiovisual media. This was the third conversation in the three-part series, Making the Invisible Visible: A Series of Conversations with Translators and Interpreters, organized by Joan Munné and Melissa Simmermeyer. The series connects the public and students of Spanish 310 (Advanced Spanish Translation) with the professional community of translators and interpreters. Despite the pervasiveness of translation in today’s globalized world, even highly educated people often forget that, without the skilled intellectual work of translators and interpreters, most texts, peoples, and regions of the world would be inaccessible to those who speak other languages.

Co-sponsored by Forum for Scholars and Publics, CATI (Carolina Association of Translators and Interpreters), and the David L. Paletz Award.
