Recently Sam was asked if he found the program boring or not challenging enough. Sam, a graduate of the Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology, had this to say. "After going through training (linguistic and translation), I felt that trying Adapt It would be a big mistake. I had learned how to use other sources, how to do exegesis, etc., so I had an initial negative response. I saw the program as useful for those who've done less training. But then I reconsidered and decided to try it on experimental grounds. I found it to be a good thing. I discovered that using Adapt It was not running away from the normal cycle of the translation process, but it was like having two bicycles, one with one gear and one with four gears, both going uphill. With the single gear bicycle, you can still get up the hill with your own strength. But having multiple gears helps you get up the hill more quickly. This program helps make the task less formidable, and you can still use your academic skills to further refine the translation process."
