Buzzing with enthusiasm after delivering a creative translation workshop to a group of Y6 students, who really engaged with the Spanish-language poem. Translation is a powerful tool for developing a range of transferible cross-curricular skills! @StephenSpender @TranslationExch

Perhaps I can tout the wonderful venture by @TranslationExch for young students of modern languages - the Anthea Bell Prize, named after my late mother. Too few people in UK have a second language. No one, of any age, should be diffident in acquiring one. queens.ox.ac.uk/research-at-…

"Sensitive literary translation demands a human intelligence": the children translating picture books, poems & graphic novels with @TranslationExch and @StephenSpender Trust immediately get this, as soon as they compare the products of the machine with their own creative craft.
Replying to @thebookseller
The translators are completely correct on this terrible precedent, and The Times supports them. @danielhahn02 @cctranslates @charlotteryland thetimes.com/article/01e40af…
