Translation Tips: Nicky Harman

English PEN has gathered a collection of top translation tips from established and award-winning translators.

1. Keep your ears open for every bit of spoken language in source and target language that you might find useful. Collect it all in your head like a magpie.

2. Ditto – pick up expressions from written material too.

3. Read lots in your target language i.e. the language you’re translating into.
