Community Translation facilitates written communication between public services and community members with low literacy in the official or mainstream language(s) of a given country or region. The subject covers the translation of general awareness material (e.g. healthcare, civic responsibilities, social services, etc.) as well as the translation of official documents. Students develop skills in producing target texts in styles appropriate to specific communities and groups, and to the content and function of the source text.

On the basis of these skills, the subject further develops students' ability to reflect upon translation in terms of strategies and appropriateness in relation to the target audience as well as make critical written and oral assessment of relevant translations. Subject to demand, the subject will be available for Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish.
