JPNS319: Japanese Translation

The course covers training of translating various texts in Japanese to English including considerations for linguistics' and cultural differences.

Leaning objectives: After fulfilling the required assignments successfully, students will be able to

  1. translate everyday topics such as social news, politics, entertainments, etc. in Japanese to English using learned general translation techniques and terminologies
  2. practice translating simple documents followed by a peer review (proof-reading by comparing the translated materials to the original materials)
  3. translate a text of any form in their chosen field (preferably, their own specialized field with some background knowledge in English).

Students use WikiEdu for their final projects, which weights 30% of the course grade.

Assignment - How to publish your work
  • Move sandbox articles into main space.
    • If you are expanding an existing article, it's time to add your revised translation (including English sources, when available). Copy your edit into the article. If you are making many small edits, save after each edit before you make the next one. Do NOT paste over the entire existing article, or large sections of the existing article. Be sure to check the article's talk page and respond to suggestions from Wikipedians. Don't panic if your edits are removed or changed! Discuss it civilly on the article's talk page, and make a note of it for your report or presentation about your editing experience.
    • If you are creating a new article, do NOT copy and paste your text, or there will be no record of your work history. Follow instruction on the "Moving out of your sandbox" handout.
  • In your first edit to the article namespace, include a link of the source article (i.e., the article you translated) in the "edit summary" before hitting "save."
  • Copy the code {{Translated page|es|Page Title}} to the bottom of the Wikipedia article, replacing es with the language code of the language you a translating from and replacing Page Title with the title of the source page.
