Sunday, 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM | Westin Copley Place, Essex Center … Session ID: M23-201
Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

The source text editions, reference works and digital tools used by Bible translators require quality assurance processes, as do Bible translation products (published Bible translations). This session, hosted by the journal The Bible Translator, addresses this concern with presentations as follows:

- Samy Tioyé, Hebrew Bible: A survey of print and digital critical editions of the Hebrew Bible with a view to the quality of data provided and the usability of the text presentation and paratextual elements for translators in Africa (respondent: Terry Wardlaw)

- Edgar Ebojo, New Testament: A survey of print and digital critical editions of the New Testament with a view to the quality of data provided and the usability of the text presentation and paratextual elements for translators (respondent: Florian Voss)

- Reinier de Blois, Translation Theory and Practice: A presentation of the recently-published book Quality in Translation: A Multithreaded Fabric (https://leanpub.com/qualityintranslation), including multimodal approaches and the use of AI (respondent: Justino Alfredo)
