What does the radio alter the imagination and practice of the translator? What are the particular creative challenges and opportunities when translating for radio?

Theatre translation always relied on a collective experience, and the theatre translation is always aware of the ways in which scenography, lighting, the sight of the actors and the palpable presence of and relationship with the audience.
