Translation

Collaborative translation is a process of two or more people working together to translate a work. My translations involve collaboration with either the author, or another person–generally a native speaker of the language the piece was written in. While I have studied Slovene, I am nowhere near fluent enough to work alone. In the listings below, if no collaborator is mentioned, I worked with the author.
