Interested in “unraveling” how MT systems “craft” metaphors in different languages? Or how machine-translated metaphors “shape” human perception? Then join us!

Excited to have presented our Leiden Translation Lab today during the opening of the Humanities Hub. Cheers to the great things that lie ahead 🎉
