TransCollaborate and Monash University’s MITN (Migration, Identity and Translation Network) invite you to a repeat of our successful 2020 workshop.

Once again we will have small groups working to translate excerpts of fiction and poetry into multiple languages. The twist this time is that each group will have a different source and target language – it all depends on who joins us!

Required: English (at least conversational level)

and one language other than English (advanced level)

Via Zoom, Thursday May 27, 2-4pm

Please register via the form below!

While the challenges of 2020 are weighing on us all, we are doing our best to push forward. At TransCollaborate, we have taken up the invitation to “Zoom”.

Listed below are upcoming opportunities to improve your language skills, create new literary texts, meet new people and experience our translation process. All you need is an internet connection!

If you or someone you know may be interested in one of the projects below – please email us at transcollaborate@gmail.com.

Join our small-group translation of a travel memoir from English into French. Work in French with a native French speaker.

On April 13 2018, TransCollaborate incorporated to become a not-for-profit organisation. Based in Melbourne, Australia, we will be offering a range of opportunities for you to get involved in collaborative translation activities.  These will include Melbourne-based events, as well as online programs for our members based overseas. If you are keen to sign up for membership, get in touch!

We are excited to be starting this new stage of development, and we will update the website as soon as possible with details of our new committee and our opening initiatives. Watch this space…
