Theme - Quality in Translation

“Quality” is an important aspect of Bible translations with a wide spectrum of perspectives and the theme "Quality in Translation" is designed to explore this range of aspects.

• “Quality” pertains to the translated Scriptures as well as the people who are producing and checking the Scriptures, and to the procedures that are being followed in order to produce and check the Scriptures.
• “Quality” is also relevant with regard to the training, mentoring, and coaching of new translators and consultants, and with respect to the exegetical resources and translation helps that translation practitioners are using.
• Finally, “Quality” is also important with regard to the broader processes that translation teams and their communities are engaged in:
  • local ownership of Bible translation projects,
  • involvement of the church,
  • adoption of language technology and other innovations,
  • and embeddedness of Bible translation in Scripture engagement programs and activities.
