Last year we witnessed the success of the First Colloquium on
Lusophony: a two-day international Colloquium organised by SLP
(Portuguese Language Society), to debate questions related to the
dissemination, expansion and revival of the Portuguese language in the
World.

This year, in conjunction with the French Department of ESE - the
Bragança School of Education -, (where Translation Studies and Teacher
Training is conducted), SLP is going to organise a 4 day event: the
Second Colloquium on Lusophony, under the title "Lusophony: cultural
diversities/Lusophonie: des diversités culturelles"

The first two days are PLENARY SESSIONS/SESSIONS PLÉNIÈRES and the
subject is Translation and Teaching in the world/La Traduction et

Coimbra, Portugal) 'Transliteracy and Transl(iter)ation', dealing with
the problem of translating literature from and into parented languages

In the afternoon there will be workshops under the supervision of the
keynote Speakers, students of ESE/IPB - Translation and other Courses
- will do some work on Literary and Technical Translations from
English and French into Portuguese. (Example: Research of anecdotal
evidence: false friends, daily cases of bad translations in media, and
its use for translation and brainstorming.

The idea is to get a practitioner together with teachers from around
the world to make a presentation to students and in the afternoon
having a workshop for the students, giving them a literary or
technical text (English and French) to be rendered in a professional
manner into Portuguese, helping them and teaching them the various
tools, etc.
