Today I'm working on a short bio of #JamesLegge, missionary, nineteenth-century #translator of the Chinese Classics, and first Professor of Chinese at Oxford. Part of my ongoing project 19th Century Chinese-English Translator Networks. #TranslationStudies #Translatology #ChineseStudies #China
Fun fact: he got the job at Oxford by donating his Chinese collection to the Bodleian library.

@CzuloOliver @translatianlogy I would likely also point to Holmes. I suppose I think of other fields - like Social Media Studies or Platform Studies - wouldn't see (I think?) platformology...granted, I know en français we talk about médiologie, but that has specific connotations well. #Translation #translatology #TranslationStudies

@CzuloOliver Using #TranslationStudies as much as I can to index #translation #research content. (Personally and professionally think #Translation and #TranslationStudies have more traction than #translatology).

Hullo, my name is Melvyn and I’m a Brit living in the Czech Republic and working as a literary translator. You can often find me walking in the mountains or up and down in my room trying to find the right word. Would love to hear pithy insights and smartarse one-liners from novels you’ve read.
