Update: 2023-10-09
Description
In this episode of The Language Question, we navigate the intriguing linguistic journey of Indrek Ois, an Estonian translator with a profound connection to the Irish language. During our conversation, we explore the unexpected pathways that led Indrek from informal Irish classes in Estonia to becoming a pivotal figure in Irish-Estonian literary translation, including his remarkable work translating "Madame Lazare" into Estonian. We discuss the realms of language, culture, and translation, revealing how the Irish language has not only bridged geographical and cultural distances but also forged a unique and inspiring story that intertwines the histories and identities of two nations. Indrek has not only embraced our language but also contributed to its international presence in a truly remarkable way.
