/lang/ - MA in Translation

Name: Weeaboo 2010-01-12 7:17

Dear /lang/
I have now cross the Weeaboo Event Horizon and gone so far that I'm starting to think of getting an MA in Translation this year. Please tell me why this would be a bad idea.
Thanks.

Because your grammar is very unusual.

It's just further evidence that I'm obviously not thinking straight.

Either that or a common typographical error. Pick one.

I don't think he should kill himself only because he wants to be a translator. You are an asshole.

What have I wrought!?

Anyway, I've decided to apply for a few programs anyway. I'll worry about the details once I've got a firm offer in hand.

Why not? Because you are in great danger of being replaced by a robot within 20 years.

For more common langauges like French and Spanish, that's a strong possibility, but I doubt any machine translation will be good enough to do accurate Jap-Eng translations by 2030.

There is indeed. There are several MAs in Translation Studies around the world.
