Interpreting the declaration of independence by translation ("The Journal of American History's round table on translations of the Declaration of Independence seemed like a natural candidate for on-line publication. [...] many versions of the Declaration of Independence, as it has been translated into different languages and at different times. On the Web, we are able to include this richer documentation. Where possible, moreover, we have also included "naive" retranslations back into English so that those who don't know the different languages can get a sense of how some key concepts and words have been rendered.") | ||||
