Abstract

This project addresses the problem of Bible translations that appear wooden as a result of following a source language text too closely. It examines what effect a discourse workshop focusing on receptor language structures had on translators and their revisions to selected Scripture texts in three translation projects in Liberia. The article evaluates the process, material, and outcomes of the workshop and gives recommendations for improvement and further training.
