Highlights from the Annual Young Scholars Conference on Translation “TELL ME MORE 2026”

Abstract

The international conference for young scholars on translation, TELL ME MORE, was held for the fourth consecutive year at Vilnius University, Kaunas Faculty on May 5th, 2026. Providing a platform for exploring various aspects of translation, the conference received more than a dozen submissions. The conference was organised by the students of the Audiovisual Translation Master’s study programme, some of whom also participated as presenters. This annual event brought together students as well as emerging scholars from numerous universities in Lithuania and abroad for insightful discussions and scholarly exchange. The conference was divided into two simultaneous sections – one focusing on audiovisual translation, and the other on literary translation. The topics that were explored included: proper name translation, humour translation, localisation and technical translation, AI-related translation research, and accent as well as dialect translation. This paper provides a review of the conference, giving insights into the presented studies.
