We may not always associate translation with comics, but from manga to the Asterix series, much of our diet of comics is made possible only through translation. In this panel, our speakers – Maria Rahartati, aka Madame Asterix, translator of the Asterix comics in Indonesia; manga translator Mari Morimoto; and influential indie comic publisher Emma Hayley (SelfMadeHero) – tell us why they champion works in translation, and why comics are important for intercultural understanding.
