1. Translating Shakespeare

Translation of Shakespeare’s works is almost as old as Shakespeare himself; the first German adaptations date from the early 17th century. And within Shakespeare’s plays, moments of translation create comic relief and heighten the awareness that communication is not a given. Translation also served as a metaphor for physical transformation or transportation.

2. Champollion reveals decipherment of the Rosetta Stone

This Day in World History - On September 27, 1822, Jean François Champollion announced a long-awaited discovery: he could decipher the Rosetta Stone. The stone, a document written in 196 BCE during the reign of Ptolemy V, had been discovered in Rashid (Rosetta in French), Egypt in 1799 by French troops involved in a military campaign against the British. Deciphering hieroglyphics had frustrated scholars for centuries. Arab scholars, beginning in the ninth century, CE, made unsuccessful attempts, as did Europeans in the fifteenth.

3. Apologies to those commenting in other languages...

I have been getting several comments sent to me in languages that I can't read.  Unfortunately, in the past I had gotten some that looked like they were in Chinese and it turned out they had offensive (sexual) content throughout.  Therefore, I do not approve comments that I cannot read.

If anyone can explain to me how I can post a translation, then I would be happy to do so.  Until then, I'm playing it safe and rejecting comments that are in other languages.  Sorry!

Blessings
