No.: 24/000468/L6) Validity Period: 01 Jun 2024 - on-going Certificate for Module (Translation for Non-Profit Organisations) Programme Code: TL005A 3762 0830 n.wong@hkuspace.hku.hk The programme examines the quality of translation (including the use of generative AI in the process of translation), the role of human translators, and the potential ethical issues that arise from the translation of materials that involve the representation of marginalised communities in society. Discussion includes fundamental concepts and understandings of cultural and identity issues that are common to non-profit organisation operations – issues such as gender, sexuality, race, and disabilities. The aim of the programme is to get students to understand how translation promotes or underpins social justice through language choices in the target culture. Through close scrutiny of real-life cases, students will be aware of the politics in translation activities and will learn strategies for doing translations that are cultural-sensitive. The programme will be useful for translators/people working in the fields of social work, NGOs, or any positions which require a certain amount of bilingual proficiency and sensitivity to diverse identities.
