Translation process
After a draft was submitted, a team of Amharic-speaking lawyers did the review. The translators sent a report, some notes and a draft, to be reviewed by a team from CC Ethiopia. The team and the translators discussed and sent a report of their agreed-upon decisions.
Key translation decisions and challenges
There were some spelling, punctuation and format errors, a few missing (skipped) words, and inaccurate terminologies, which have been addressed and corrected by the reviewers.
- Capitalizations: Amharic does not have uppercase and lowercase letters. This was a challenge as the CC translation guide expressly requires that words and phrases capitalized in the English version should also be capitalized in corresponding translations. Therefore, words capitalized in the English version are currently not capitalized in the Amharic (as that is not an option in Amharic). But these words can be distinguished using bold letters, underlining or larger fonts. The reviewers request feedback from CC headquarter in this regard.
