The Translation Manual is intended to empower anyone, anywhere to equip themselves for creating high-quality translations of biblical content into their own language. The manual is designed to be highly flexible. It can be used in a systematic, in-advance approach or it can be used for just-in-time learning (or both, as needed). It is modular in structure.

The Translation Manual contains the following sections:

  • Translating with Wycliffe Associates - introduces the Translation Manual, giving an overview of relevent topics.
  • Translation Theory and Practices - explains the basics of translation theory and provides simple explanations of standard practices.
  • [Translation topics] - these are practical translation helps, specifically targeting potential challenges, that are also linked from the translationNotes.
  • Checking - Covers the basics of checking theory--explains the layered approach, suggests who should be involved, and provides best practices for affirming quality.
