Nice little New Yorker blurb on the topic of translation -- it's regarding French-->English but still I think anyone that's into thinking about translation will appreciate this! It's a fun, short read focusing on the translation of the opening sentence of Camus' "The Stranger".

Aw man, that's my favourite book <3. It's way too over-analyzing, though. No matter the translated word for mother the point still stands, and it's still one hell of an intro to a book. I do prefer the shorter sentence version to the original, since it lands more of a hit.
(completely offtopic, damn I wish the Japanese version this book wasn't 50$)
