The Translation Process Research Workshop, held between 20 and 24 July 2026, concluded successfully, featuring lectures from scholars such as Professor Michael Carl, Prof. Janice Pan, and Prof. Jan Louis Kruger.

Our participants, both PhD students and early career researchers, greatly enjoyed this five-day hybrid workshop, which focused on recent developments in empirical translation process research (TPR), interpreting, and localisation. Participants were introduced to the CRITT Translation Process Research Database (TPR-DB) and learned how to extract, interpret, and apply process data in empirical research. Through training in Jupyter Notebook, participants were equipped with skills to annotate, analyze, and visualize translation data.

The workshop included two morning and two afternoon sessions per day that consisted of lectures, practical sessions, and students' project discussions. Our strong team of expert instructors covered various aspects of TPR, interpreting, and localization. There were also opportunities for participants to present and discuss their own projects.

The workshop was complemented with two evening lectures by Prof. Douglas Robinson and Dr. Julian Kiverstein, during which participants exchanged ideas with subject experts in the field.

We would like to thank all our instructors, participants, and colleagues whose contributions together made this Workshop a great success.

Mystical Creatures in Translation and Transformation
Morphing and Animals in Chinese Culture and Media

[Funded by Faculty of Arts Conference Grant]

On 15โ€“16 July 2026, CUHKโ€™s Department of Translation and Centre for Cultural Studies, Department of Cultural and Religious Studies, hosted Mystical Creatures in Translation and Transformation: Morphing and Animals in Chinese Culture and Media. Co-convened by Prof. Jia Tan and Prof. Sophie Ling-chia Wei, the workshop brought together scholars for two days of lively, multidisciplinary exchange on how animals, hybrid beings, and mystical creatures move across Chinese culture, languages, histories, and media.
Four recurring themes gave the programme its distinctive shape. Speakers explored the spiritual and religious meanings of creatures as they travel among Buddhist, Daoist, and Christian traditions; tested the boundaries between the human and non-human through discussions of transformation, extinction, ecology, and interspecies relations; examined how queerness, sexuality, and gender can be reimagined through animal and mystical figures; and considered how animation, CGI, and AI-generated media are transforming familiar mythic beings while raising new questions about authorship, technology, and cultural circulation.
Across the panels, mystical creatures emerged not as relics of the past, but as dynamic figures through which to think about belief, identity, ecology, and technological change. Our sincere thanks to all speakers, chairs, participants, and supporters for making the workshop such an inspiring and productive gathering.

During the visit, Form 4โ€“6 students explored the Faculty of Arts and the Department of Translation through engaging interactions with our instructors, including Prof. Sophie Ling-chia Wei, Dr. Yinran Wu, and Dr. Li Li, in the order of their presentations. The sessions encouraged active participation, with students asking thoughtful questions and sharing their perspectives.

Two mini-lectures on Computer-Aided Translation and Interpreting were delivered, offering students valuable insights into human-technology collaboration, as well as how translation and interpreting skills are transferrable to a wide range of career paths.

We hope the visit inspired the students to see how Translation and Interpreting can continue to thrive in the age of AI. We look forward to welcoming them again in the near future!

On the morning of May 8, Professor James St. Andrรฉ, Chair of the Department of Translation at CUHK, was invited to deliver a lecture at Zhejiang University titled โ€œExploring 19th-Century Chinese-English Translation History with Digital Humanities Tools: Promises and Prospects.โ€

Focusing on his research on nineteenth-century Chinese-English translators, Professor St. Andrรฉ demonstrated how social network analysis and digital humanities methods can open new pathways in translation history. By integrating 63 types of dataโ€”including biographical details, publication records, places of work, and institutional affiliationsโ€”he has developed a database of 262 translators, drawing on global library catalogues, nineteenth-century English-language periodicals, missionary biographies, and East India Company archives. The project combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to map networks, relationships, and historical trajectories within this translation community.

The lecture was followed by a lively and engaging discussion with faculty and students. We are delighted to see the impact of CUHK Translationโ€™s research beyond Hong Kong and are grateful to our colleagues at Zhejiang University for their warm hospitality.
