+# About the Translation Topics
+
+The Translation Topics explain various translation issues. There are topics dealing with various grammar issues, various figures of speech, writing styles, ideas that may be unknown to the target language community, and issues that are particularly relevant to Bible translation. 
+
+These topics are all part of the WA Translation Manual. The complete Translation Manual is available as an html file at https://door43.org/u/WycliffeAssociates/en_ta/d7dd8e14d9/index.html. The topics that are included in this set of Translation Resources are ones that are addressed in either the Translation Notes or Translation Words. 
+
+Many of the topics include examples from the Bible, strategies for dealing with the issues, and examples of how those strategies might be applied.
