Synopsis

The Translator's Reference Translation (TRT) is a comprehensive, yet concise, reference tool for every stage of the Bible translation process. It is designed for use by everyone involved in that process, including national translators, editors and reviewers, as well as expat or national translation advisors and consultants.

The TRT lets users know what the Greek (or Hebrew) text says in every verse and gives thorough text-critical information. It uses notations to identify translation issues and offer potential solutions in context. The TRT provides appropriate implied information within a balanced translation approach. It gives suggested footnotes and pictures for teams to include in their translations. The TRT gives careful attention to discourse level concerns and includes many cues in the text itself to encourage a cohesive, natural translation. It also identifies parallel passages in the gospels, including the parallel translation issues.

The TRT complements other translation tools and equips translation teams to produce a translation that is accurate, natural and acceptable to the intended audience.
