The May Talk Shop will go back to the subject of editing and look at some of the balancing acts editors perform when they get a translation that is too close to the literal and needs to be ushered a bit more cleverly over the cultural divide. See the "Word Wise" articles for examples. Please bring your recent example or send one to us to discuss, at info@swet.jp.
