Example: fan translation of manga

Another interesting type of interlingual translation is translating comics and graphic novels.

It involves a change of language but it also requires the translator to think about the relationship between image and text and the way they are read or viewed.

In this interview with Dr Dorota Goluch, Dr Matteo Fabbretti discusses the challenges of translating manga from Japanese into English.

He shows that the challenges were addressed differently by commercial comics publishers and by fans, who have been doing their own translations.
