Using Diffchecker to compare two Regelson translations
Post date: Feb 25, 2018 8:52:31 PM
The American poet/ translator Abraham Regelson created three different English translations of the Haggadah: 1941, 1944 and 1948. Although the 1944 and 1948 one are very similar, there are some significant changes.
I decided to use diffchecker.com to compare between Regelson 1944 and Regelson 1948. The results can be seen online here

Version on the left is 1944, on the right is 1948.
There are changes in word choice, sentence syntax, order of certain parts and the 1948 version re-uses a poetic translation of Hassal Siddur Pesach from the 1941 version (not rendered here) with some slight changes.
