| Abstract | Translators in the age of globalization and increased automation risk becoming reduced to mere end-stage editors of machine translation. While translator training courses strive to prepare students for notional specialization and continuously expiring technical skills, they also recognize the enduring need for cultural competence and understanding. The aim of this article is to argue the case for a stronger presence of humanities learning in translation training as the foundation and medium for a more open, flexible, emotionally aware, culturally sensitive and intellectually curious mentality and skill set. The analysis examines three examples from the language combination Galician and (Irish-)English of translators who use their humanistic knowledge to overcome translation challenges and find an equivalent flavour in their own language to that of the original text. The analysis is complemented by the translators’ reflections on their own work and the task of translation obtained through email interviews. |
