Translation between Globalization and Localization - Dr. Tai

Course categoryTranslation

This course is organized around three central themes: translation, globalization, and localization. The world has seen an intensified social relations at the global level, which link distant localities. This suggests that local happenings can be shaped by events from other localities and vice versa (Giddens[1], 1990: 64). Given this implication, the first part of the course is centered on those central issues of translation which underpins the second part, which is about globalization and localization. Translation in the globalized/localized setting has seen the emergence of some new domains of translation practice such as tele-translation and tele-interpretation. This is an area that learners will be introduced to.

Besides the general methods of translation , s/he has to be aware of the process of translating and problems related to equivalence (i.e. at word level and above word level).
