Kom translators learning to use Paratext. This lady has not used a computer before but she is very determined and even wants to get her own laptop to self teach herself.
During the training, the project typist is allowed to practice
I always like to teach in the presence of a translation consultant; he will then reinforce the lessons by reminding the translators to use the knowledge they have gathered during their work.
Time to practice. For some, ICT seems quite complicated, but they are determined to learn. Encouraging indeed. I told them that if you can use a smartphone then you can use a laptop and that really encouraged them.
It was interesting to learn about enhanced resources in Paratext. I am glad Joy had brought her NIV Study Bible; she kept looking at it and, at some point, took it away and asked her to use the version on her laptop. We laughed at it, and now she knows that next time, she won't need to travel with the printed copy as she can consultant several versions on her laptop.
