How do you transform the HDM world to Hebrew without changing Oxford to Tel-Aviv and Lyra to Liat? How can you tell apart a scholar and a servant just by the way they speak? How can you find a suitable alternative to technological terms and how do you translate made-up Bible quotes?
BttS Community Member HDM.co.il write to inform us of their second annual convention in Israel this month. The Mythopia Convention will take place on the 24th of August, in Tel-Aviv. The convention is jointly organized by the Israeli His Dark Materials community, the Israeli Tolkien society and the Harry Potter for grownups society. Speakers include various prominent Israeli lecturers such as Yeal Sela-Shapiro, the translator of the HDM books into Hebrew. You can read more about the convention on the convention website.
