BIBLE TRANSLATORS who are skilled in Dutch Sign Language wanted gezocht

 

 

 

The Bijbel NGT workgroup desires to produce a translation of the Bible in Dutch Sign Language. In order to form a translation team we need skilled and motivated translators.  A "Bible translation weekend" is being organized for 25-27 June 2010.  During this informational weekend two experienced members of the BSL Bible Translation team will guide us in practicing translations and information will be given about the process of creating a good translation of the Bible in sign language. 

Topics that will be addressed include:

• How do you start a translation project?
• What are the requirements for a good translation?
• What are the potential pitfalls?
• What is required of the translation team members?
• How is the translation checked for accuracy, both in content and in NGT usage?
• Etc.

By the end of the weekend you will have a clear picture of the process of Bible translation and the next steps in selecting candidates for the translation team. You will have the opportunity to consider eventual participation in this inportant translation work in the Netherlands
