Translation workshop with Dr. Vishal Bhadani

Translation workshop with Dr. Vishal Bhadani 

Translation is the process to translate the text or words in one language into another. It requires deep knowledge of language. It is the most difficult thing to translate any work. People believe that  translation ruins the charm of work. It is not true every time. Translated work helps to understand the culture and history  of other people.

 On 1st January 2019 ,In our Department of English we had the translation workshop   which was conducted by Dr. Vishal Bhadani.  The workshop had divided into two sessions. It was a great privilege to interact with author. Dr. Vishal is translator , author.   He has wrote a book name Fictonalay. It is in the gujrati language. He had read three short stories of "Fictionalay" that is "Mara hath ni wat nathi", "Sansai ane Ranjana", "Museum of innocence".He is also good story teller. All these stories are connected with middle class people.  Every story has a different concept. 

        In the second session he talked about importance of translation. He also told about the process of becoming translator and job opportunities  in the filed of translation.   It requires deep and wide knowledge of the languages. Also it requires the understanding of the context in which the word is used. It is very tough but interesting work. It help us to enhance our knowledge of language and grammar. 

    After the knowing the importance of translation. Sir had given one worksheet  to translate some words , sentence and paragraph. This practical  task gave me mixture of feeling like some time I felt joy in translating words and some time I felt that I have not deep knowledge of language and grammar. So this process of translation was like showing the mirror to us that we have to increase our knowledge of language. In this process of translating work everyone lost their salves in it. No one realized that they have taken more time to translate this several things. In this process we have to focus the context in which the word is used. It increased the understanding of the word. 

   It was very fruitful and interesting session. It was a privilege to interact  with an author. I would like to thank you to Dr.Vishal Bhadani sir to visit our department and Dr.Dilip Barad sir to organised this workshop.
