How do we work across different languages? Words often elude direct translation and subtextual references, slang, and euphemisms in one language often mean something different in another. Join Tiffany Tsao, Ng Kah Gay, Kristen Vida Alfaro, and Sebastian Partogi in a discussion about the art of translation and breaking down language barriers.

Bagaimana sesungguhnya kita bekerja dalam perbedaan bahasa? Kata-kata sering tidak sama dengan terjemahannya secara langsung, referensi subtekstual, slang, dan eufemisme dalam satu bahasa sering berarti sesuatu yang berbeda dalam bahasa lain. Kali ini Tiffany Tsao, Ng Kah Gay, Kristen Vida Alfaro, dan Sebastian Partogi akan berdiskusi tentang seni penerjemahan dan bagaimana meruntuhkan hambatan-hambatan bahasa.
