Frank Nhat Trinh is a language teacher with an MA (Hons) and Ph.D. in Linguistics from Macquarie University in Sydney. He taught English in Vietnam and Vietnamese in Australia for the period of 30 years. His teaching experience is enhanced by his work as a translator/broadcaster with the BBC World Service in London in the early 1980s. His contributions to languages include his training and assessment of Vietnamese community translators and interpreters at the University of Western Sydney and the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) in Canberra. His views on the search for translation equivalence between English and Vietnamese were expressed in the American Vietnamese-language 21st Century Magazine and on Australian SBS Radio Vietnamese broadcasts. His published report, “The Making of a Court Interpreter”, in l985 on a well-publicized murder case at the Supreme Court of Victoria in Australia, was well-received by his students and colleagues. His writings featuring articles on light-hearted topics and his translations of short stories by Nhat Tien and Nguyen Huy Thiep were recently carried on various international Webpages. Dr. Frank Trinh’s future projects include a bilingual dictionary for Vietnamese professional translators and interpreters.
