A Video-Book Translation Project for Deaf Children
Okyayuz, Ayse Sirin
Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, v17 n4 p1787-1805 2021
In the 21st century, providing accessibility for all to all products and platforms including cultural and literary products is one of the most important fields of study embraced in translation and interpreting studies, media accessibility studies and others. With governments and international organs like the UN and EU working towards full accessibility, it falls to multidisciplinary teams to produce accessible versions of such products and furthermore to provide road maps, guidelines and examples of good practice. The following article outlines a project undertaken with these priorities and concerns. In response to requests from parents with D/deaf children and the wishes of the author N. Neydim, work began on the translation and the intermedial adaptation of the Turkish children's books series Selim'in Maceralari (2011) in May of 2019. The project was completed and the video-books are currently available online. The initial aims of the project were, to raise awareness about children's literature in Turkish among preschool and early primary school age Deaf children and to provide these children with the Turkish sign language video-book versions of the author's works. The following article details the design and implementation of the project, the project cycle, profiles of the interpreting team, technical and design concerns, and options and decisions about the interpreting process to provide an example for similar endeavours and a platform for sharing insight on the issues inherent to the project.
