How do stories travel across languages and cultures? Translators Shanna Tan and Daryl Lim Wei Jie explore how translation connects readers to new worlds, preserves meaning and voice, and navigates ​gulfs of meaning. This panel highlights the joys and travails of translation, showing how it enriches experiences, bridges cultures, and transforms stories into something both familiar and refreshingly new.
