This course is designed to develop students' practical skills in translation from Chinese into English, as well as in translation revision. Students will develop an understanding of translation criteria and principles, learn different translation techniques and their applications in practice, identify translation issues, use computers in translation, and practise in subject areas including society, immigration, health and law. Links between theoretical concepts and practice will be emphasised. This course will prepare students for further study in translation at the professional level.
