Abstract
When choirs sing in languages unknown to most of their members, they are faced with the questions: what do these words mean, and how do I pronounce them? Translation theory can help provide practical phonetic and semantic aids to choir members. Catford's notions of phonological translation and transliteration are extended to solve the phonetic problem. The semantic problem is solved by writing multiple translations into the singers' scores.
