Philip had a wild few days with Pak Jacob and Ibu Yuliana at a Mother Tongue Translator workshop before Christmas. It focussed on discovering how one asks, encourages or urges someone to do something in different languages, to prepare them for translating hortatory texts like Titus 2 & 3.
This translator is demonstrating how reasons are expressed in Indonesian, marking all the therefore and because words in the text. Participants performed some hilarious dramas on the theme of 'keep your blasted pigs out of my garden/off the runway because/or else!..'
There were MTTs from about eight different Papuan languages present.
