Globalisation, new technologies, artificial intelligence and publishing trends are reshaping the complex art of translation. In this future-facing discussion, three award-winning translators explore these challenges and opportunities.
Poet and adjunct associate professor at Western Sydney University Chris Andrews is joined by multilingual writer Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar, and author and Deputy Editor of Sydney Review of Books Tiffany Tsao, who between then speak and write in more than ten languages.
How does the relationship between author and translator function? How creative is the translator’s role? Can AI replace human translators? And how can the industry better support authors to get their work into global markets?
