A Sociolinguistic Survey of How Covid 19 Terminologies are Translated to Tonga Language of Zambia
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 07
Abstract
In Zambia, COVID- 19 and other health lifesaving information is not adequately disseminated in the indigenous languages understood by the majority citizens. In cases where this information is written in local languages, the terminologies are inexact due to wrong methods and approaches to translation. This study sought to establish the appropriate methods and approaches to translation and it has also attempted to come up with the most appropriate and correct Tonga terminologies for COVID-19. The study also recommended that African languages should be taught in medical tertiary institutions so as to equip health practitioners with African linguistic knowledge.
