Two Translations of Je Suis Plein D’Autres Aussi from French into English and Spanish

53 pagesThis work is two translation pieces of the short story Je Suis Plein D’Autres Aussi by Marie-Sabine Roger from French into English and Spanish. The translation is preceded by an essay where I explain my translation process. I outline what methods I used when translating, and how I developed my project. I then give specific examples of difficulties I had translating. I use these to explain some of the types of issues that come up when translating from French into English and Spanish. I separate the translation choices into five categories: Names, Specific words, Sounds, Grammar, and Translation Loss where I then explain the issues I had, and how I overcame them. I begin with explaining how I translated the names of the main character. Then I give other examples of specific words I had troubles with, and I explain my thought process. Then I explain how I translated sounds in the story, how the grammar translates differently between languages, and finally I give a few key examples of where there was significant translation loss. Finally, I conclude with my thoughts on the translation process, and a broader reflection on translating this piece.999
