This year, fifteen experienced literary translators, three emerging translators and three students were offered the opportunity to work in the Banff Centre\u2019s idyllic setting. Most were from Canada, Mexico and the United States\u2014BILTC\u2019s three founding countries\u2014, but the program also hosted participants from Germany, Argentina, Finland, Israel, the Netherlands, Slovakia and Ukraine. Beyond the usual language combinations, this year\u2019s cohort had translators working into Dutch, Portuguese, Slovak, Chinese, Turkish and even Mep\u2019haa, an indigenous language spoken in Mexico. Four LTAC members were in attendance: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attlc-ltac.org\/en\/translator\/mullinsrhonda-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rhonda Mullins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attlc-ltac.org\/en\/translator\/madeleine-stratford-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Madeleine Stratford<\/a> as consulting translators, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attlc-ltac.org\/en\/translator\/beatriz-hausner-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beatriz Hausner<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attlc-ltac.org\/en\/translator\/egocatherine-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Catherine Ego<\/a> as participants.<\/p>\n<p>Madeleine has very fond memories of her time in Banff. \u201cThe people from this year\u2019s group spanned at least three generations. They were very well matched and didn\u2019t hesitate to help each other. Most of the participants were Spanish speakers, which was a first as far as I know. Those who couldn\u2019t speak the language of Cervantes were able to rely on others to cheerfully whisper translated accounts of what their colleagues had to say. The program\u2019s atmosphere was wonderful; two months on, our WhatsApp discussion group is still very active!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attlc-ltac.org\/en\/translator\/sonya-malaborza-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sonya Malaborza<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attlc-ltac.org\/en\/translator\/martinezrachel-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rachel Martinez<\/a> represent LTAC on BILTC\u2019s Advisory Council.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":311,"featured_media":5134,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
