Translation involves much more than finding verbal equivalences.
Concepts, beliefs, structures, values and more also are transmitted. The translator's own points of view and understanding of the text are part of the translation. Take part in a series of activities centering on the most often translated text of all time, the Bible, to examine the process by which one culture becomes known in another through translation. The residency includes a brief history of Bible translating as well as hands-on group translation projects. Programs funded by the Nebraska Humanities Council have served more than 1.5 million Nebraskans in more than 200 communities statewide.
