Translation Moments at Knightly Latino News

Writing for Knightly Latino is not about writing in Spanish. It’s not about writing in English. It’s about living all the time in both worlds and knowing where to go in the moment.

—Natalie, Knightly Latino News

Using the framework of A Revised Rhetoric of Translation discussed in chapter 4 and the analytical units of translation moments introduced in chapter 1, I here illustrate the multilingual and multimodal translation practices of student translators and bilingual news broadcasters at Knightly Latino News (KLN), a bilingual, student-run organization in news broadcasting, located at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando. Students in this organization create and translate news stories published on the student-run English network Knightly News from English to Spanish, for their Latinx community. To present the translation work that takes place at KLN, I first provide some background and contextual information about this organization and its student translators. I then share a story that illustrates the relationship building that made this collaboration possible. Finally, using the framework of A Revised Rhetoric of Translation, I further discuss multilingual/multimodal translation practices as they were enacted by student translators at KLN. I thread conversations in multilingual/multimodal communication through this discussion, highlighting how translation moments can inform the analysis of multilingual communicative practices.
