Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 20 AIL 1904 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Translator's Choices Are the Translator's
Captions available
The idea
Obligation O-9 governs this course: where a passage is read in translation, the entry names the translator and says what they chose. A verse form, a register, a word order in English belong to whoever made the English. The original author supplied something else.
In practice
Name the translator, name the choice.
Where people slip
The form in English is the translator's.
