Ulster Museum’s “The Troubles and Beyond"Gallery in Chinese: translating difficult histories in Northern Ireland

In collaboration with the National Museums NI, I translated exhibitions and texts in the Troubles and Beyond Gallery into Chinese and designed a website for presenting both the images of the exhibits and my translation.

The strategies and methods discussed within this thesis provide a reference for translating multimodal museum texts relating to difficult histories, offering the possibilities in producing museum translation through the design of a website. <br><br>This project not only promotes inclusivity but also creates new opportunities for public engagement with the Troubles Gallery. It promotes understanding for an international Chinese speaking audience with little or no knowledge of Northern Irish history and maintains an openness to interpretation and ongoing dialogue.
