The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

A textbook rewritten in familiar words, a changed meaning

2019The past, rebuiltDeadline · Within 90 days, before the next printing is distributed

Reconstruction of the past

The date of the source material is 2019-11-26. Only the stated texts of that period are used as background; the three situational premises and the later branching are invented. Actual outcomes later known, amended systems, or success stories are not used as facts in the initial input. This is a modern retrospective question construction, not a claim that people of that time made this decision.

The question to decide

Materials rewritten with regional words and examples now contain expressions that diverge from the original in meaning. Staying faithful to the original leaves unfamiliar concepts standing, and explaining differences in a correspondence table adds class preparation and review. Considering both an easy-to-understand explanation and responsibility for the content, how should translation and regional adaptation be separated and published?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Publish a translation faithful to the source text

    Preserves the relationships of the original explanation, but expressions and examples hard for regional learners to understand may remain.

  2. Option 2

    Publish an independently edited regional edition

    Reflects local living contexts, but a new editor takes responsibility for content that has changed from the source text.

  3. Option 3

    Provide a correspondence table for the source text and the regional edition

    Makes the roots of the differences verifiable, but teachers and learners must handle more material.

The situation as it stands

The reconstructed teachers translated the open teaching materials into the regional language and examples, but some expressions do not fit the categories of the source text. Decision deadline: within 90 days, by the next print run.

Reconstruction of the past as of 2019-11-26 · Teaching materials localized into the regional language teach a meaning different from the original explanation. A fictional matter newly created using the principles of documents from that time. The institutions, people, figures, and events involved are not records of real decision-making.

  1. Premise 1The reconstructed teachers translated the open teaching materials into the regional language and examples, but some expressions do not fit the categories of the source text.
  2. Premise 2A literal translation leaves unfamiliar concepts in place, and using local examples can introduce interpretations the original author did not intend.
  3. Premise 3A correspondence table makes the differences readable, but it adds to the volume of class preparation and review.

Where it holdsLocalization, faithfulness to the content, editorial authority

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1A review that distinguishes word-level differences from conceptual differences
  2. Unknown 2The parts regional learners actually misunderstand
  3. Unknown 3How to display the modifier's responsibility and the original author's name

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible person, and confirmation window will verify "a review that distinguishes word-level differences from conceptual differences," and re-judge when new verification changes the trade-offs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, responsible person, and confirmation window will verify "the parts regional learners actually misunderstand," and re-judge when new verification changes the trade-offs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, responsible person, and confirmation window will verify "how to display the modifier's responsibility and the original author's name," and re-judge when new verification changes the trade-offs among the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

An easy example in the region was read with the opposite meaning by learners in another region.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

The original author asked that it be stated clearly that this is a new interpretation, not an error in translation.

Material and rootsThe frame, the values and the background documents

How is getting a quick answer different from becoming able to ask questions?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
