1) has your understanding of translation improved?

Yes, I can say that this was a fruitful session for us because we have learned so many things to improve our translation generally I was having the idea that translation means you can translate with the same as grammar structure means that we should have to follow the instruction but we have to work with the minds set like There are some examples given below.

મેં મારી બેન ને પરણાવી

What Google says first we can see: I married my sister: Incorrect 

Mine: I have married my sister: Incorrect 

Correct: I make my sister married so the concern is to say that you have to think about the correct means which is more appropriate rather than go with the grammar & Google kind of translation.

2) can write about translation in terms of metaphors?

 There are seven kinds of metaphors given by sir . so all were very interesting like 

માં તે માં બાકી બધા વગડાના વા

Mine: Mother is Everything

Dr.Vishal Bhadani: Mother is mother બાકી બધું Other!

So, The concern is that you have to work with the conscious mind if you are very conscious about it so you can easily so this kind of metaphor to apply in the translation.

3) what according to you in the most difficult aspect of practical translation?

The most difficult translation is to translate translation with word wise means that you can not make your own words so the difficulty is we can take any word like the development so we can not say that it is related with Education or any kind of business or Buldig which is developed.

4) learning outcome from the workshop

I have learned how to do a proper translation that sometimes we have the mindset that we have to do proper translation so we must have to follow the rules of grammar and what the dictionary says but it is not the correct path to do the translation. So, we can make our own sentences to understand the people for translation.
