For translating songs/poems, the best advice I can give is to make sure you use rhyme-words with lots of rhymes!
This may mean thinking very creatively about the meaning... but the more rhyme-words at your disposal, the more successful your translation is likely to be.

7-8PM UK time, I’m giving this Keynote Performance for Lancaster Uni’s conference ‘Animals in Translation: AI, Ethics and the Future of Interspecies Dialogue’. It’s also an AV translation of an original artwork I was commissioned to make. #xl8 🌊

Conf livestream links: wp.lancs.ac.uk/animalsintra...

Text says: ‘On Oceanic Terms, On Memory’s Conditions

In the near-future, an unforeseen incident with profound consequences for the future of life on Earth occurs in the Indian Ocean. Inciting circumstances involve a family of blue whales and a group of billionaires invested in the proliferation of artificial intelligence. What if a stenographer from the Court of the Global Majority, herself raised underwater and a key witness, were to relay details of the happening—now known in English as the Mass Marine Linguistic Event—to an audience of translators whose work has been intrinsically tied to its creation?’

It's the 10th anniversary of @worldkidlit.bsky.social this year!

I was 1 of the original co-founders, with @mlynxqualey.bsky.social & Alexandra Buchler, but the org has really thrived with Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp at the helm & a whole team of volunteers.

What a perfect way to celebrate both #InternationalTranslationDay #ITD & the last day of #WorldKidLitMonth: my translator copies of WHEN YOU WERE A CLOUD written by María José Ferrada & illustrated by Azul López (@theemmapress.bsky.social) arrived in the mail!
😍😍

#kidlit #booksky #worldkidlit #xl8

A selfie (I am a middle-aged white man with close-cropped dark hair and a close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard, wearing a black t-shirt) in front of the bookcase of books I've translated, holding a copy of WHEN yOU WERE A CLOUD, published by The Emma Press, featuring an image by Azul López on the cover of a female-presenting dark-skinned figure in a yellow t-shirt and blue shorts lying on a golden field, looking upward, surrounded by red and green splotches to represent flowers.

A photo of my hand holding two copies of WHEN YOU WERE A CLOUD, so we can see the spine, which reads: Ferrada, López & Schimel and then the title.

So the translator is named not just on the cover but even on the spine!

Happy International Translation Day from ATA! 🌎🎉 Today is a reminder to everyone, everywhere of just how critical translators and interpreters are. We change the world every time we connect individuals, communities, and cultures! 🥳💙
