Why Attend?
In one interview, David French, the translator of Sapkowski’s books, said:
“[…] to become a literary translator, one must write very well in their own language. What reaches the readers are not the original words of the author of the book. Every word that the readers see is the translator’s word. So, one must love words.”
What does it mean to love words? How does a love of words translate into a very good translation? Does knowledge of Polish have to match the knowledge of one’s native language? Is the relationship with the author of the Witcher series, Andrzej Sapkowski, important for the quality of the translation?
How does a diversity of interests strengthen a translator’s workshop? David sings, sails, runs, cooperates with director Andrzej Jakimowski as a language consultant for his films, trains to become a screenwriter…
Is a translator a job for life, or an adventure leading to the next stages of professional life? What are these next stages?
