Miss Santos, Toda saudade P3

Editorial

Dear readers,

This term, the theme for ‘The Linguist’ is translation, and we are so excited to share many different articles surrounding this theme. We have included topics varying from pieces of literature, to how languages are translated and the implications behind that, to our use of idioms in our own language. Covering a broad set of countries with many languages, we hope that there is something for everyone in this edition. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed researching and writing it, and that you also learn something new about translation in different languages!
