Translation Conference
6. Translation Terminology/Standardization
Michael Hahn, Jim Blumenthal (Oregon State University, Maitripa College), Jay Garfield (Smith College), Betsy Napper (Tibetan Nuns Project, Dolma Ling institute of Buddhist Dialectics), Robert Thurman (AIBS Columbia University), Alex Berzin (Berzin Archives), Ringu Tulku, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche (84000)
While the Standards and Training sessions dealt with many different (though often interrelated) general and specific issues pertaining to evaluating and guiding overall translation efforts (thus focusing on the big picture, the final product), this session had a narrower agenda, with presentations and moderated discussions focusing on the challenges, value, and prospects for the standardization of translation terminology and style in particular.
