How do you translate Sherlock Holmes stories into a language that doesn’t have a commonly accepted writing system? This is the question faced by Kí Phín-tsì (紀品志), a Tâi-gí linguist, translator, and co-creator of the Bite-Size Taiwanese podcast.

In this #InTaiwanWeSpeak episode, Phín-tsì shares the challenge of translating world literature into his native Tâi-gí — a language many people in Taiwan speak but few know how to read.

New episodes are released every Tuesday at 21:00 (Taipei, GMT+8).
