Translation as Art, Not Algorithm | Dublin News

A wild translation relay race unfolds as Marina Carr reimagines Goldoni’s “Mirandolina” through a linguistic twist: Monica Capuani translates it literally into English, Carr adapts it in Irish English, and Capuani brings it back to Italian—each layer adding cultural texture. Carr zeroes in on Mirandolina’s vulnerable final monologue against misogyny, turning it into the play’s emotional core. Unintended resonance hits hard when actors perform amid real grief from a murder case tied to their own lives. The episode also warns that AI translations, while fast and cheap, strip away nuance and soul—human translators are irreplaceable, especially when words carry hidden meanings like “impaired” hiding “father.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
