Ready to master the art of translation and annotation? Discover how ISI’s workshop is bridging languages and preserving knowledge—will you be part of it?
In today’s fast-changing world, translation and annotation are key to connecting languages and cultures, especially in science, technology, and education. To address this need, the Linguistic Research Unit at the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) is organizing a three-day translation and annotation workshop from March 5 to 7, 2025, at ISI, Kolkata, focusing on “Translation and Annotation of Scientific, Knowledge, and Technical Texts.”
Why Translation and Annotation Matter
Translation and annotation go beyond just changing words from one language to another. Instead, they involve capturing the meaning, context, and subtle details of the original text. This is crucial because, in fields like science and technology, even small mistakes can lead to big misunderstandings.
For instance, a mistranslated technical term could result in incorrect data interpretation or flawed research outcomes. As a result, accurate translation and annotation are essential to ensure clear and precise communication across languages and cultures. Moreover, they help bridge gaps, making knowledge accessible and understandable for everyone, regardless of language barriers.
