Comparing writing a new book to translating oneâs own book, the former is an act of hooking and pulling out something that has not yet been put into words but is still inside of you, whereas the latter is an act ofâŚ
- After writing all this, I felt it was not appropriate to use one word to describe âtranslationâ.
- When the author and the translator are different, there is a phase where âthe translator reads the original text and understands what the author wanted to say,â but in my case, the author and the translator are equal.
- So itâs much different as an activity.
- Writing a report and creating a presentation document are different formats, so new ideas can arise during conversion, similar to - Format Change
- After writing all this, I felt it was not appropriate to use one word to describe âtranslationâ.

A sense about the correctness of the translation, in my case, I am the author, so it is canonical to judge based on my own non-verbalized sense.
- On the other hand, if the translator differs from the author, âthe authorâs ideas based on the textâ is my personal interpretation, so if I feel uncomfortable or uneasy, I give priority to the agreement with the âinstitutionalized textâ.

It is very interesting to observe and log this relatively rare activity and look back on it later!

What is âtranslationâ?
-
Mapping concepts and words as handles for them to the iceberg model - Concepts, handles and iceberg model
-
- When I see a translation that has been converted by a dictionary, machine translation, or by someone else, I get an uncomfortable feeling.
- This corresponds to the verification phase
- A kind of learning through dialogue with the outside world
- Matching with dictionaries was mentioned in the TAE story.
-
- The [[literal translation]] doesn't feel right because it's a form of "[Taking the top of the pyramid is not what I expected.- When I was learning, I knew what knowledge I needed to gain by focusing on this gap.
- On the other hand, if the author himself is translating his own book, the âanswerâ is âwhat the author wants to expressâ, so it is inside, not outside

- Sticky note is not the body.
- The word is not the body either.
- Mr. A wrote the output in English, Mr. B read it and translated it into Japanese, and Mr. C read it and wrote the Japanese text.
- When this Japanese is translated into English again, it does not necessarily match the English words written by Mr. A in the first place
- The question is whether it should be matched.
- What was the word that Mr. A outputted?â is concrete data, not what Mr. C wanted to express.
- = word is not the main body
- In fact, in my case, I chose the older translation âPut first things firstâ knowing that in the original book of the 7 Habits, the latest translation is âPut first things firstâ and âPut first important things firstâ.
- That history is clearly stated in a footnote.
- It doesnât matter what words the original author chose.
- It is important that the content of Câs message be conveyed appropriately.
Speaking of the âread fastâ and âread slowâ gradient, translating my own writing is significantly slower than my reading, as I am currently making progress at the rate of 3-5 pages per day.
What does it mean to âlearnâ? What is âreadingâ? and so on, but by translating my own book into English, I realized that there are still words that are implicitly under the impression that one understands. What do you mean by âvalues?â What is âdeciding appropriately?â
One good thing about going through my book and translating it into English on Scrapbox is that references like âThis is a story I saw in a chapterâ are links to specific pages in Scrapbox. The page title includes the section heading, so itâs easy to remember without having to follow the link, and itâs easy for people who couldnât remember to follow it back and read it again, which has the effect of page 87, âTest and then learn more.â
This page is auto-translated from /nishio/ĺˇçä¸ăŽćč20190201 using DeepL. If you looks something interesting but the auto-translated English is not good enough to understand it, feel free to let me know at @nishio_en. Iâm very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
