INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION DAY - 30 THE SEPTEMBER 2017

translation3000 newsletter

If previously you had to hide in the kitchen to celebrate International Translation Day (since the European Community hadn’t officially approved it), now you can come out in the open and throw a party. On May 24, 2017, the United Nations General Assembly officially confirmed that 30 September is International Translation Day, which makes the day even more special. The UN affirmed that professional translation brings nations together, facilitates understanding and collaboration, and strengthens world peace and security.

Whether you are a translator or your work is somehow related to the field of translation, we'd like to send our warmest greetings on International Translation Day 2017. Italo Calvino, an Italian journalist and writer, said, "Without translation, I would be limited to the borders of my own country. The translator is my most important ally. He introduces me to the world." Every day, you have a hand in bringing peoples together, sharing their experiences and wisdom. And that is very valuable to all of us. We wish you inspiring projects, easygoing clients, and a long and satisfying career in translation!

We have a surprise for you to celebrate this awesome day. Since translators don’t have their own holidays, we decided to add some to our version of a “translator’s calendar.” The calendar contains a few unofficial holidays, and we hope that one day they'll become official.

You can easily download and print the calendar for the new translation year from this email. Make ambitious plans for your career and schedule fun vacations!

Download Calendar

P.S. Don't hog all the fun for yourself – share this email with your friends.

P.P.S. BTW, today is the last day to save and get Projetex, TO3000, or AnyCount at 3/4 of the regular price. Enjoy!

Global Translation Lectures 2016-17

Dr Ursula Phillips, UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies

Ambassadors, Missionaries or Professional Rewriters? Translators as Refashioners of a "Smaller" Literature in English: the case of Poland

Date: Thursday 12th January 2017

Time: 6-7:00 pm

Location: Anatomy Building, G29 JZ Young LT, 127 Gower St, London WC1E

Talk outline

The talk will examine how translators contribute to shaping the popular image of a culture and its literature within the context of another. Drawing on issues raised, for example, by the "Translating the Literatures of Small European Nations" project, it will ask whether the choices made by translators from the early 19th century to the early 21st century have created or reinforced particular stereotypes or assumptions. How far have translators reflected ideological imperatives in the source culture and acted as ambassadors for established criteria of "importance" or "quality"? To what extent have translators been driven by personal sympathy or a sense of mission? And how does the relatively recent aspiration to "professionalize" translation activities in general, as well as the need to adapt to the realities and constraints of the market operating in the target culture, affect the ways in which the source texts are selected and refashioned in English?

Biography:

Dr Ursula Phillips is a writer on Polish literary history and a translator of literary and scholarly works. She is an Honorary Research Associate of UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies, where she worked for many years as an area specialist in the school's library and an occasional teacher of Polish literature to undergraduates. A major aim has been to introduce works by Polish female authors of the 19th and 20th centuries to a non-Polish readership, both academic and general. These include Maria Wirtemberska's Malvina, or The Heart's Intuition (1816), Narcyza Zmichowska's The Heathen (1846) and Zofia Nalkowska's Choucas (1927), which received the Found in Translation Award 2015. Her translation of Nalkowska's Boundary (1935) appeared in 2016. As well as a further novel by Nalkowska, she is currently translating émigré writer Barbara Toporska. Parts of her translations of contemporary author Agnieszka Taborska have appeared in online journals, including Asymptote. Recent scholarly translations include Jaroslaw Czubaty's book The Duchy of Warsaw: A Napoleonic Outpost in Central Europe (Bloomsbury, 2016).

Global Translation Lectures 2016-17

Dr Chege Githiora (SOAS, University of London)

"Translation in a multilingual context: The case of Swahili in east Africa."

Date: Thursday 17th November 2016

Time: 6-7:00 pm

Location: SOAS, Brunei Gallery 102

Talk outline:

Swahili occupies the dominant position within the east African literary polysystem (Even-Zohar, 1999), while both translated literature and regional vernaculars hold the peripheral one. In the face of a densely multilingual region. Kenya and Tanzania have a language policy of promoting Swahili as the national and official language alongside English, in education, government, business, journalism and other institutions. The translation project is heavily skewed in one direction, dominated by translation of literary works from English into Swahili, and very little from Swahili into English, or from regional languages into Swahili. In this presentation, I will discuss how this language ideology impacts on the position of Swahili in east Africa, the position of the translated literature, and that of regional languages in this polysystem.

Bio:

Chege Githiora teaches Swahili and Translation studies at SOAS. He has translated a number of published and unpublished works from and into Swahili, English, Spanish and Gikuyu.

Global Translation Lectures 2016-17

Professor Nike Pokorn, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia "Does translation and interpreting provision hinder integration?"

Date: Thursday 3rd November 2016

Time: 6-7:00 pm

Location: Anatomy Building, G29 JZ Young LT, 127 Gower St, London WC1E

For more info click this link

Talk outline:

From 2007 to 2015 different UK government officials argued that providing translation and interpreting services hampers incentives to learn English and therefore hinders integration. For example, in 2015 media reported that UK Communities Secretary Eric Pickles insisted that: "Translation holds people back from integrating into British society." The talk will present the results of an on-going study that attempts to gather some factual data which will support or refute these political claims. Trying to verify the claims that translation and interpreting impede integration of recent immigrants, we have conducted quantitative and qualitative research among a group of asylum seekers settled in the asylum seeker centre in Ljubljana, Slovenia. A questionnaire was used to gather quantitative data on their language profiles, while the qualitative data was obtained through semi-structured interviews in 2014 and 2015. This was followed by a narrative analysis of the transcriptions of all recorded interviews, focusing on different languages and communication solutions in different stages of a migrant's life in the host country. The results show that translation and interpreting are complementary steps to independence that do not seem to have any adverse impact on the acquisition of the dominant (national) language of the host country.

Biography:

Nike K. Pokorn is Professor in Translation Studies at the Department of Translation, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, where she currently serves as the Director of Doctoral Studies in TS. Her research interests include translation and censorship, directionality in translation and public-service interpreting and translation. She was a member of the 8-member European Master's in Translation (EMT) Expert Group appointed by the Directorate General for Translation at the European Commission that was responsible for setting up the EMT network and creating the EMT competences document. She won the European Society for Translation Studies Award for her doctoral thesis, and served two terms on the board of EST - European Society for Translation Studies, and two terms on the board of EMT - European Master's in Translation Network. She is the author of Challenging the Traditional Axioms: Translation into a Non-mother Tongue, (Amsterdam and Philadelphia 2005) and Post-socialist Translation Practices (Amsterdam and Philadelphia 2012). Currently, she is a deputy coordinator of the FP7 European project MIME - "Mobility and Inclusion in Multilingual Europe" (2014-2018, in charge of public-service translation and interpreting.

The effects of Brexit on Linguists working in the EU - eCPD Webinars

From www.ecpdwebinars.co.uk - Today, 5:59 PM

On 13 September eCPD Webinars hosted a webinar for members of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and the Association of Translation Companies. The aim was to publish the results of surveys taken by both organisations before and after the referendum in June 2016 and to take further action in light of the result, which was…

Correct and Incorrect Names for “Language Interpreter”

InterStar Translations

Client education: we explain what correct and incorrect titles for language interpreters are.

· a linguist is clearly different from an interpreter or a translator. It is usually a term used by the military or by marketers who want to attract a particular kind of crowd. For a more detailed explanation see our post:

· Why “Linguist” is not a Correct Term for “Interpreter”.

Leaving aside the difference between interpreters and translators (oral speech versus written text), the interpreter does not have to be a linguist as per the second definition of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Of course, knowledge how language works is useful but it does not make an interpreter. Linguists study differences between languages not the process of professional translation or interpretation.

What is required to be an interpreter is dedicated professional postgraduate training in language interpretation – formal education and a degree in conference (simultaneous and consecutive) interpretation.

Therefore, linguist should not be used to denote a language interpreter.

Curri Barceló Ávila (LocaliseMe)

Video-Game Localisation Professionals: Training the “Bridge” between Markets

Date: Wednesday 4^th May 2016

Time: 4-5 pmt

Location: Cruciform B404 - LT2 Gower Street

Link to this: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/maps/cruciform-building

Talk outline:

Video games have been around for 70 years and, during this time, the video game industry has evolved and reached limits that not even the creators of the first game could have imagined, but also it has moved masses of fans and it has unleashed passions only compared to those risen with the most-followed sport in the world: football. In fact, it is estimated that, between 30 and 50 % of revenue comes from the world market, and so it would seem that the industry should look after not only their own market, but also the international market, which rewards the game companies with so much revenue.

Video games have become a global industry: nowadays, games are localised to an increasing amount of languages. Thus, the translation of a videogame becomes essential for any company that would like to reach top marks in worldwide sales. In order to cope with this multi-lingual demand, the industry needs translators well-trained in all peculiarities of the industry, so that they can offer quality translations in the shortest amount of time: they need to know the source language and culture perfectly so as to understand the original text, the play-on-words, the jokes and all other linguistic and cultural facets. Also, in order to adapt them successfully, they need to know every single aspect that may not be accepted or allowed.

In this presentation, we will focus on the skills needed to work in the industry, as well as on the reasons why it is important to adequately train future video-game translators.

Biography:

Curri Barceló holds a BA in Translation and Interpreting and an European MA in Audiovisual Translation. After working as a Spanish Quality Assurance Localisation Lead for a games publisher in London (Eidos-SCi), she became a full-time freelance localisation and quality assurance specialist. During her career as a freelancer, she has localised over 200 games and tested over 40. She has also had the chance to collaborate with game companies as a cultural and linguistic consultant, and with online betting games companies as a Quality Assurance Consultant. Currently, she helps companies to create multilingual content for their products, whilst carrying out tasks as a Project Manager. Since 2013, Curri has been combining her knowledge in the video game industry with her passion for teaching, as she started teaching Game Localisation for an online course.

Mr John Pym – CERN Translation and Minutes Service

Translation and minute-writing in an international scientific research organisation

Date: Wednesday 9 March 2016

Time: 4-5 pm

Location: Cruciform B404 - LT2 - Gower Street

Link to this: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/maps/cruciform-building

Talk outline:

CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, operates high-energy accelerators and physics detectors dedicated to fundamental research into the origins of matter and the universe at its underground facilities on the Swiss-French border, close to Geneva.

Founded in 1954, CERN today has twenty-one European Member States and three Associate Member States and plays hosts to physicists from the all corners of the globe, who come to Geneva to conduct their experiments at CERN's particle accelerators, in particular its flagship facility the LHC, or Large Hadron Collider, where the Higgs boson was famously discovered in July 2012.

CERN's translation and minutes service provides official translations between the Organization's two official languages, French and English, and occasionally from other languages, such as Spanish, German and Russian. The main activity of the English-mother-tongue members of team, who all originally trained and qualified as translators, is minute-writing for CERN's governing bodies, a complex discipline requiring the highest levels of proficiency English in as well as a deep understanding of the internal workings of an international, inter-governmental organisation and a finely-tuned political antenna.

The speaker will give a broad overview of CERN's main activities (without attempting to explain the physics issues) and describe the role and position of the Translation and Minutes Service within the Organization, giving concrete examples of texts translated and of minutes and summaries written for its various governing bodies.

Biography:

John Pym is the Head of Translation, Minutes and Council Support at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. He holds a first-class honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in French and German studies from the University of Portsmouth and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Interpreting and Translation from the University of Bradford. He has worked as an in-house professional translator for twenty-five years, firstly at the Head Office of Bouygues SA in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (France), then as the Head of Translation at the Institut Laue-Langevin physics research facility in Grenoble (France) and, since 1995, at CERN in Geneva, where he assumed the position of Head of Translation and Minutes in 2003.

"Keep your distance?” Video-mediated interpreting – state of the art and future prospects

Date: Wednesday 27^th January 2016

Time: 4-5 pm

Location: Cruciform B404 - LT2 - Gower Street

Link to this: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/maps/cruciform-building

Talk outline:

Over the past two decades, videoconferencing has established itself as a tool for real-time communication between participants at two or more sites. This has also led to alternative methods of delivering interpreting services, which can be summarised under the term of ‘video-mediated interpreting’. Typical configurations include ‘remote interpreting’ via video link, whereby the interpreter is physically separated from the main participants, and ‘videoconference interpreting’, where the main participants themselves are located at different sites and the interpreter works at one of the sites or from a separate site.

The various practices of video-mediated interpreting have sparked debate among interpreters and interpreting scholars and have raised questions about feasibility, interpreting quality and communicative dynamics in video-mediated interpreting as well as broader questions concerning the training and skills required of interpreters and their clients in these settings, the interpreters’ working conditions and the clients’ perception of the interpreter. At the same time, the debate has also been linked to the opportunities video-mediated interpreting offers for optimising access to interpreters (and thereby, for example, to healthcare or justice); meeting linguistic demand; increasing the efficiency of interpreting service provision; and maintaining the sustainability of the interpreting profession.

Research into video-mediated interpreting has analysed the quality of the interpreter’s performance and a range of psychological and physiological factors associated with video-mediated interpreting, the dynamics of participant interaction in videoconference-based interpreter-mediated communication, and the strategies that interpreters develop in relation to video-mediated interpreting. In addition, video-mediated interpreting has been investigated in terms of efficiency gains compared to onsite interpreting.

This presentation will explain the key terms and concepts associated with video-mediated interpreting; give an overview of the main developments and current trends of video-mediated interpreting in supra-national institutions, legal, healthcare and other settings; report on research conducted by the author and other scholars; and give an outlook to future research directions arising in view of the increasing diversification of video-mediated interpreting through technological innovation and evolving demand.

Crisis in the Translation Industry

Written by Josephine Bacon

All over the world, the need for language translators and interpreters is increasing by leaps and bounds.

There are many reasons for this, including the huge growth in international trade and in human mobility, with large numbers of refugees attempting to reach Europe from the Third World, as well as an increase in institutions like the European Union that require their entire output to be published in all the member states’ languages. Then there are the multinationals whose hardware, software and manuals are rolled out globally. Although translator and interpreter training at university level is now much more widely available, good translators and interpreters are still hard to find, even in the "common" language combinations, let alone in “rare” languages. Yet this is where the law of supply and demand breaks down. In many developed countries where translation and interpreting are desperately needed, these professions have experienced a serious drop in pay when compared to other skilled jobs. This is especially in the United Kingdom where the Ministry of Justice has introduced a privatised interpreting monopoly in the criminal courts that is threatening to undermine the whole legal system. The Ministry saw fit to award a single interpreting contract for the entire country to a small agency on the Yorkshire Moors run by someone who had no concept of translation or interpreting. The person in question was soon bought out by a much larger enterprise who had no experience in the translation business.

The rates of pay for interpreters, which worked out at less than minimum wage when travelling and waiting time (unpaid) were taken into account, were totally uneconomic and most professional interpreters – who had paid large sums of money to train as court interpreters and had to take rigorous examinations – have refused to work in the criminal courts. The Ministry of Justice is as “economical with the truth” as it is possible to be when defending their decision. A first they claimed it would save £12 million a year (a figure clearly plucked from out of the air) they have revised the figure downwards slightly but the fact remains that when the true statistics are finally revealed, the result will be a massive increase in costs to the British justice system. The reason for this is that it is harder and harder to find court interpreters, defendants who would otherwise have been released on bail are remanded in custody, others are discharged without ever having been tried and are free to re-offend, etc.
Now even what translators are owed is not being paid to them, due to the prevailing climate of fraud and dishonesty that seems to be sweeping the world.

One of my colleagues decided to stop translating because it was so badly paid in his own country, and start a list of translation agencies who were "bad payers". I downloaded his list and added a few names of which I had personal knowledge; my personal list now runs to more than 150 names, worldwide. These are companies who set themselves up as translation agencies and either pay only after considerable pressure has been applied to them, or not at all, EVER. Although there are companies like this all over the world, I am sorry to say that a veteran, non-British, colleague of mine noted recently that "the major proportion of names on the list comes from the UK".

This is very bad news and is the result of several loopholes in the laws of England and Wales (and probably Scotland too).

The UK is the only country in the western world that has no form of registration whatsoever for business names. The former Registration of Business Names Act, which merely required registration at Companies House, was abolished by the Thatcher government almost as soon as it came to power in 1979. Every other country has some sort of procedure for registering a trading name; the United States, for instance, requires publication in a local newspaper and registration with the State Board of Equalization to ensure that state tax is paid on sales. Other countries have similar practices, but over here, you can call yourself anything you like (as long as it doesn't have "royal" in it) and set up your stall tomorrow. What is so crazy is that this would be a good way for the government to earn revenue which it sorely needs.
It is all too easy to go into liquidation, just to avoid paying debts. A three-times-bankrupt boasted about it recently in The Daily Telegraph newspaper. In fact, in the UK, it is easier to go into liquidation than to tough it out and pay off debts. I am still owed more than £2000 by a translation agency owner who deliberately put his company into liquidation (even the liquidators expressed their suspicions to me) because, as he told a colleague of mine, he had been made "an offer he couldn't refuse" by a would-be partner who had set up a new translation company on millions of borrowed venture capital money. That venture soon went belly up, this agency owner has a string of failed ventures behind him and probably by now owes millions to translators.
It is similarly easy to escape creditors, writ-servers, etc., by trading from a secret address. In most countries, your headquarters are where you trade from. This is not necessarily so in the UK, which uses the "registered office" as the official trading address. It is perfectly legitimate, in England and Wales, to have a registered office in a place other than the principal place of business; accountants, and occasionally solicitors, act as the registered office for many of their clients. This is done for administrative convenience in some cases, especially for companies who are afraid important mail will go astray if they move offices frequently. However, it is also a very convenient way of escaping confrontations as more than one "rogue trader" has discovered to his immense satisfaction.

The net result is that British companies are acquiring a bad reputation worldwide, at least in the translation business, and probably elsewhere as well. Not only British companies though. It is almost impossible to sue for debt in the Repubic of Ireland and a couple of crooks who commissioned translations from all over the world then conveniently disappeared. Complaints to Irish diplomatic missions across the world did no good, apparently the Irish do not care if they get a reputation for dishonesty.
Non-translators should be aware that the trading conditions for dishonest translation and interpreting companies are optimum, in other words, the translation business itself can be a crook's charter. The main reason for this is that an agency and its translation or interpreting sub-contractor never meet.

Translation is big business and there are several multi-million dollar players all over the world, thanks to the internet. Yet there never was a business like the translation business for pulling the wool over a customer's eyes. A slick, smooth-talking salesman in an expensive suit visits a client and promises superb service etc. backed up with colourful literature all of which, when analysed, is meaningless. Having won the contract (which often amounts to many thousands of pounds in value) the work is turned over to the PMs (project managers) whose job it is to farm it out to the cheapest translator they can find. Sometimes the work is checked, sometimes it isn't. The net profit that the owner of a medium-sized agency (10-20 in-house employees) requires his/her staff to make on a job is at least 100%, often much more. If a Translation Memory program is used, the translators are paid little or nothing for words and phrases in the translation that occur more than once, known as "matches" and for “fuzzy matches” words that are similar (verbal forms of nouns, for instance). Needless to say, this saving is rarely, if ever, passed on to the customer.

One bit of bad news and one bit of good news: a translation agency in Swansea just went into liquidation and started up again using virtually the same name! It never paid its translators on time from the start and now it owes them lots of money. But someone else who thought he could get away with doing this has just been sued by the Institute of Translation and Interpreting on behalf of members who are owed £167,000. He has been ordered to pay and subjected to other sanctions by the Court. There are several people out there, in the UK and Ireland, who start fly-by-night “translation” companies, farming out translations that they procure from other translation companies, in the full knowledge that they are never going to pay their service-providers.

Well, thanks to this precedent, Nemesis may be knocking on their door.

The Ministry Of Justice Hits Out At Small Businesses Again
Not content with slashing the fees of court interpreters and lawyers at the criminal bar, the Ministry of Justice has just announced sweeping changes to civil cases for damages etc., meaning that individuals and small firms will not be able to afford to pursue such cases in future.

A Moment of Gratitude for Interpreters Worldwide

From www.interpretamerica.com - Today, 3:30 PM

Interpreters around the world provide a vital and increasingly visible service from global conflicts to local schools. They deserve our thanks.

interpreter's insight:

Here at InterpretAmerica, we pause to express our most heartfelt gratitude for the thousands of interpreters worldwide vital to human beings achieving connection, understanding and reconciliation. Whether it's our colleagues in France and Europe keeping the world up-to-date after the Paris attack, or local sign language interpreters volunteering at a camp for the deaf and hard of hearing, interpreters everywhere are a force for good.

This week's blog pulls a small smattering of headlines and photos from around the world from just the past month or so that highlight the kinds of contributions interpreters make every day.

We love our profession and love the talented, hard-working and dedicated interpreters we are lucky to call colleagues and friends. So, here's to you. The interpreter. Not so invisible, perhaps, as we thought. We raise our glass in thanks and deepest gratitude.

The impact of emotional and psychological factors on public service interpreters

Abstract

The impact of psychological and emotional factors on public service interpreters is widely accepted by those working in the field, yet studies on the matter remain sparse. Drawing on research conducted in the early 21^st century, this paper presents various preliminary studies (Master theses) by students of the European Masters in Intercultural Communication, Public Service Interpreting and Translation at the Universidad de Alcalá de Henares (Madrid, Spain). The main objective of the current review is to determine whether conclusions from previous research are reproducible in new contexts (in particular, the context explored is Spain in the second decade of the 21^st century). The subject matter of the studies includes challenges facing non-professional interpreters in different settings; the influence of emotional and psychological factors on conference interpreters, public service interpreters and public service interpreting (PSI) students; interpreting in mental health; and burnout syndrome in PSI. Data for the research has been drawn from interviews and questionnaires. A review of past research on PSI illustrates that interpreters in public services perform their task in challenging settings that are fraught with delicate content, that they are exposed to significant psychological and emotional stress, are expected to perform numerous occupational tasks, and finally, that they are subjected to ever-changing physical, psychological and environmental conditions. The subsequent review of more recent research lends further credibility to past findings and furthermore highlights the need for training in coping with the situations and tensions that have been demonstrated to affect the PSI interpreter’s work.
