Since 2020 Nijmegen students of French (second year) participate in the digitizing project Correspondence of Belle van Zuylen. In the context of this translation sub-project, each of the students translates into Dutch a number of letters. This year they worked on the correspondence with Henriette L’Hardy. In this presentation we discuss briefly the role of this translating project within the curriculum French language and culture at Nijmegen University, and then present a number of translation problems we have encountered, and for which we found – as we hope – a solution.
