Lin King, the translator of 'Taiwan Travelogue', is publicly criticizing the publishing industry's reliance on 'relay translation', a practice in which a work is translated via an intermediate language rather than directly from the original. Writing in a widely shared essay, she argues the method distorts meaning and erases translators working from source languages, prompting discussion among translation and publishing professionals about industry norms.
