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.

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.

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.

Biography:

Dr Sabine Braun is Director of the Centre for Translation Studies at the University of Surrey. Her research focuses on new methods, modalities and socio-technological practices of translation and interpreting. She has a long-standing interest in video-mediated interpreting, which is used increasingly to deliver interpreting services in business and public service contexts, and audio description, a growing media access service for blind and partially sighted people and a new modality of inter semiotic translation. She is an experienced leader of transnational research projects relating to the application of technologies to interpreting and interpreter education where she has worked with academic and non-academic partners. Sabine teaches modules and supervises PhD students in the areas of Interpreting Studies, Interpreting Technologies, Audio visual Translation and Applied Linguistics, and has developed several MA programmes at the University of Surrey.

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.

New post on Interpreting Signs

RM1092 The National Framework: Designed to wreck the Deaf and Interpreting community

by Jen Smith

After five years of contracting omnishambles and nearly one year of NUBSLI's campaigning against the biggest framework for interpreting services we've ever seen in the profession, we are still waiting for the biggest mess ever to occur.

This blog has recorded and commented on, over those last five years, the damage that large contracts taken by large agencies have done to the Deaf and interpreting communities.

The trend of ever larger contracts continues despite everything over the last five years pointing to this not benefiting the Deaf community. They are no longer Customers, it is now the government department or Contracting Authority i.e. NHS trust, MoJ, DWP and AtW. The interpreter is no longer the Supplier, it is now the Agency. Layers of administration come between Deaf people and interpreters with choice and control removed and interpreters are left fighting for a sustainable career which if they do not have leaves the Deaf community without an adequate supply of quality interpreters who can afford to work full time and be members of the community.

The national framework is being designed by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) to bring three existing frameworks together. The most important ones for BSL are RM738 face to face interpreting and the Ministry of Justice's (MoJ) national framework. The companies that won places on the RM738 framework were: The Big Word, Prestige Network and Language Line. For the MoJ a monopoly was handed to ALS then taken over by Capita. Not a specialist BSL agency in sight. No, all they were left with were sub-contracts to these big guns who knew nothing about Deaf people. Interpreters were left fighting for their rates as the squeeze was on for everyone to get their cut.

Although standards were written into the MoJ the competitive mess sub-contracting brought about meant many experienced court interpreters left it to those who'd accept less. The excellent interpreters booked directly and well-respected by individual courts were pushed out unless they were willing to jump through administrative hoops and be booked by subcontracted agencies, one of whom knew little about legal work, the other dropping its own standards for the sake of saving its business.

Meanwhile with RM738, standards were not exactly high on the list of priorities. With nothing written into the actual framework and scant monitoring agencies were free to use whomever they chose and unqualified signers with GCSE level qualifications they used. And they cared little. One of three, the Big Word, proclaimed publicly in its evidence to the Justice Committee in 2012 that its, "extensive partnering with local suppliers, including SMEs and the voluntary and third sector (sic) ensures that contracts can be filled at a local level". The reality is they've been one of the biggest blights on the sign language interpreting profession over these five years with Capita being another.

Five years on we have a national framework proposed which is based on the same principles as the others. The strategy seems to be increase administration and sub-contracting (which supposedly fills the government's SME agenda), ignores the work of the registers (by dictating that agencies produce ID cards and provide CPD to interpreters) and fails to measure or understand the basic needs that interpreting services should be designed to fulfil.

On their procurement pipeline, the CCS states, "We do not set policy on how public sector organisations provide access to interpreting services nor do we determine the appropriate qualification levels for interpreters in particular circumstances. The offering is broad and it is for individual customers to establish their requirements in line with their policies when creating a contract under the framework agreement." This is just one example of a clear lack of respect in setting standards or even understanding them in the first place.

With basic groundwork not done by government departments the national framework, RM1092, is a house of cards built on quicksand. Those who think that standards have been written in and therefore everything with this framework is now perfectly fine would do well to review the NUBSLI visual above and consider each of the points made. Standards written into a document is one thing, there are many other implications of what such a large, badly planned framework can have. Especially when it is designed to cover every type of interpreting, including Access to Work (AtW). Any choice and control in interpreting provision Deaf people had left is about to be removed and if sustainable fees are not paid to interpreters the knock on effect will likely to leave the profession, and the Deaf community, devastated for years to come.

New post on Interpreting Signs

To access the blog click here Round up…

by Jen

I've barely blogged since the election. The challenges the sign language interpreting profession are facing in the UK are huge. What does this mean if this is happening to a small niche profession such as ours?

· The very existence of our profession is under threat.

· So to other professions who serve the Deaf community e.g lipspeakers.

· Deaf people are being affected too in every area of life.

· The challenges we all face fit into the sweeping blanket changes happening to the disabled community whose equality, independence and dignity are being dug away in droves.

What happened? We got a Tory right wing government with no coalition partners to temper them. Forget the 12 MP majority in the House. That didn't stop them when they put out an Equality Impact Assessment notice announcing Access to Work cuts hours after the election result was announced in May. See the excellent Stop Changes campaign blog for your round up on all things Access to Work related. And make sure you watch the TedX talk by Jenny Sealey for a moving summary of exactly how Deaf and disabled people are being affected by the cuts.

What else? The independent living fund has been scrapped for severely disabled people despite the high court declaring this illegal. Supposedly funds have been transferred to local councils though a series of freedom of information requests show that many don't know about it. Two weeks ago we saw DPAC protestors storm the House of Commons which gained great media coverage. Anyone who isn't sure of exactly what these cuts are going to mean should watch Liz Carr's speech at the People's Assembly demo. The government won't want you to be thinking about incontinence pads and people sitting in their own wee waiting for someone to show up when more budgets cuts are announced on Wednesday 8th July.

NUBSLI has been working hard making representations to various government departments and framework providers who want to see us paid the least amount possible yet still provide a 'quality service'. This a government who does not believe in professions, independent regulation or quality. Just cost. If it did then the weighting for awarding contracts to private companies would be 100 quality/0 cost or something closer to that than the 40/60 for the first MoJ framework which brought us the disastrous Applied Language Solutions. This allowed a route in for Capita to try and take over a market it has little understanding of and certainly no duty of care to the people receiving the end service. A fact made more obvious since Capita declared at one government stakeholder meeting last year that they could control the interpreting market if given the chance. Not something the Deaf community would ever choose. Or interpreters.

Many frameworks are now being discussed and frighteningly the people that draw them up have no clue. You need professional interpreters in mental health? What do you mean someone with level 3 and no interpreter training will not suffice? We really haven't moved on.

And on the perpetuation of the myth that CSWs are somehow ok and we've all forgotten the work done in the 1990s by the then, more ethical, CACDP... CSW and interpreter apprenticeships are still being discussed, the threat of a CSW register is still around, NDCS (a charity that is supposed to campaign for the best for Deaf children) is part of the 'BSL coalition' (along with BDA, Signature and others). Awful misnomer. NDCS advertises funding for BSL language qualifications for CSWs. Maybe a slight admittance there that CSWs are not good enough for Deaf children? The Deaf children that should be seen as the important future of the Deaf community rather than being let down. The Adept UK machine still rumbles on and no one seems interested in reframing the debate. Why is no one talking about the ideal for Deaf children's access to education, about what options could be possible then trying to find solutions that are a better than the two tier interpreter/CSW mess we have now. Where are the academics, experts and organisations to come up with something better? This blog aloNe can not address this. It needs a much larger public debate intiated by the very organisations who seem to perpetuate the myth itself.

Of course the existence of this two tier system presents risks in an environment where a new government sees qualified professional interpreters as expensive, unnecessary and replaceable. Since the high profile People's Assembly demo where NUBSLI interpreters featured all over the media and Deaf people and interpreters stood side by side in protest we have gained strength as a grass roots movement who want the same thing. There are pockets of good work being done by the organisations who serve the Deaf community but they seem mostly absent, too busy fighting for their own survival amongst the cuts. This is now a grass roots fight for what is right. Deaf people and interpreters: get on board quick. We've got work to do and we are all on the Tories' radar.

National Union of British Sign Language Interpreters replies to attacks by Daily Mail

"The article in today's Daily Mail was a direct attack on both BSL/English interpreters/translators and members of the Deaf community. With the government pushing ahead with caps and changes to the Access to Work scheme that will see Deaf and disabled people struggle to keep their jobs (for more information see: https://stopchanges2atw.wordpress.com), and the Crown Commercial Services currently trying to establish a framework to drive down interpreters fees, the timing of this article is no coincidence."

£1million sign language fraudsters guilty of scamming taxpayer

Daily Mail‎ -

A couple have been convicted of a £1million fraud which included claiming for work helping ...

NUBSLI

11 mins ·

Response to article in Daily Mail "£1million sign language fraudsters guilty of scamming taxpayer to fund luxury holidays including claims to work 21-hours-day" (5th June 2015).

In yesterday's article the Daily Mail reported that two sign language interpreters had defrauded the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) via the Access to Work scheme.

The story misrepresents the hundreds of professionals who provide an essential service and take an average of seven years to train.

The National Union of British Sign Language Interpreters (NUBSLI) have checked the names of the individuals involved and can confirm that neither of the two individuals being charged were members. Whilst it is believed Angela Poole may have been registered as a British Sign Language (BSL)/English interpreter, George Taylor was not.

Prior to any allegations of fraud being made, BSL/English Interpreters/translators have been calling for Access to Work to improve their processes and communicate how both professionals and Deaf people could safeguard against fraud. These concerns were raised due to the large numbers of unregulated agencies being used by the DWP. The DWPs failure to monitor agencies is clear. Whilst NUBSLI remain outraged by the behaviour of the two individuals involved, important questions need to be asked of the DWP.

The ‪#‎ScrapTheFramework campaign (http://www.nubsli.com/our-work/scrap-the-framework.php) was recently established to oppose the government’s bid to establish a national framework for interpreting and translating. The initial drafts of the framework did not provide adequate safeguarding or a requirement for interpreters to be registered. Agencies have the potential to use unqualified people and charge extortionate amounts whilst driving down the fees paid to properly regulated and qualified interpreters and translators.

The article in today's Daily Mail was a direct attack on both BSL/English interpreters/translators and members of the Deaf community. With the government pushing ahead with caps and changes to the Access to Work scheme that will see Deaf and disabled people struggle to keep their jobs (for more information see: https://stopchanges2atw.wordpress.com), and the Crown Commercial Services currently trying to establish a framework to drive down interpreters fees, the timing of this article is no coincidence.

NUBSLI will be meeting the new Minister in July to explain more about the BSL/English interpreting profession and the importance of only using registered fully qualified or trainee interpreters. They will also take the opportunity to remind government that they too rely on BSL interpreters to fulfill their basic statutory duties to Deaf BSL users.

#Scrap the National Framework Agreement Campaign

What is the #Scraptheframework Campaign?

The campaign was launched by the National Union of British Sign Language Interpreters (NUBSLI), a branch of Unite, in February 2015. The campaign is a response to the national framework for interpreting and translation services which users, interpreters and translators oppose.

We believe that:

§ it is not robust or fit for purpose

§ safeguarding is not guaranteed

§ standards of access will fall

§ there is not choice or control for users

§ it will be damaging to SMEs (small and medium sized businesses), creating a monopoly

§ it does not allow for equality of access if under-qualified personnel are used

§ organisations advising the government are potential suppliers and have commercial interests

§ it is not cost effective or will save taxpayers money

What are we asking for?

We want the framework agreement to be scrapped with immediate effect, and a full consultation with both the Deaf and interpreting communities to take place.

The Work & Pension Select Committee received over 300 submissions to their recent inquiry into Access to Work. The Committee's report offered many sensible solutions on how to improve access, yet none of these are being currently considered.

How you can support the campaign

NUBSLI wishes to thank the individuals and organisations who showed their support for our open letter. We've had more than 1,000 signatures and the letter has been sent to Francis Maude MP.

Here's what you can do to help:

§ Write to the Crown Commercial Services directly (the government procurement service)

§ Write to your local MP and get the issue raised

§ Use the briefing document and share information about the framework and the campaign with as many people as possible.

Why Translators & Interpreters Compare Themselves To Doctors & Lawyers

May 19, 2015

A professional translator and interpreter should be seen in the same way as any professional in the medical or legal profession, because ultimately all three are intertwined.

There are cases where a translator’s or interpreter's unique choice of words and how to render a phrase saved a life, or whose special knowledge of culture prevented a legal or political disaster, or whose expertise and skills are so critical to national security, that they do not ever talk about those jobs and have in fact played a crucial role in history.

In the medical field, translators translate textbooks used to study medicine, the manuals used for medical consultations and surgery equipment. Interpreters interpret the communication between patients and doctors. Precise translation and interpretation, for a patient, can mean the difference between life and death.

In the legal field, translators translate contracts and various legal documents used in and out of court. Interpreters facilitate communication between lawyers, plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses, criminals and the court. Precise translation and interpretation, for a defendant, can mean the difference between freedom, a simple fine, jail time, life in prison or even the death penalty.

Then what makes the profession of a translator and interpreter similar to that of a doctor or lawyer?

There are three major common factors that these three professions share:

1) Extensive years of study, education and experience

2) Vast fields of expertise and specialization

3) Intellectually challenging work

Let us examine and compare each in detail.

The World of Subtitling Today - City University - 17th June

Speaker: Jorge Díaz Cintas, University College London

Today's prevalence of audiovisual materials in communication exchanges has made of subtitling a daily experience for many of us and a well-established and prominent area of academic research. This talk aims at taking stock of the most significant milestones that have marked the evolution of subtitling to date, whilst also delving into a prospective discussion of potential changes.

THE ONGOING FIASCO OF PRIVATISED COURT INTERPRETING SERVICES

May 7, 2015 — Comment

Written by Aisha Maniar

Three years after Capita took on a Ministry of Justice contract to provide interpreting services in courts and tribunals, recent cases and an independent review have demonstrated that it is still failing, with serious consequences.

Court translation

On average, 700 requests are made to the courts in England and Wales every day for the use of an interpreter to assist foreign language speakers and the hearing impaired. The provision of such services is a requirement under the UK’s obligations under European human rights law, the common law and to ensure justice and fair trial standards for all parties.

According to the latest Ministry of Justice (MoJ) statistics, its outsourced contractor Capita Translation and Interpreting (TI) fails to send interpreters to court in over thirty cases a day, reflecting a ‘success rate’ of under 95 per cent.[1] The contract stipulates a success rate of 98 per cent.

The absence of an interpreter means hearings are inevitably adjourned and delayed, sometimes leaving defendants unnecessarily held on remand. Less commonly, one of the parties steps in to translate for another, or a friend or relative attempts to facilitate communication. But the ability to interpret is not equivalent to the ability to speak a foreign language. Particularly in complicated court settings, the service needs to be provided by qualified and experienced professionals.

Framework agreement

Until 2012, the service was provided by independent qualified interpreters booked directly by the courts from a regulated national register. In August 2011, in order to provide greater efficiency and cost savings, the MoJ signed a framework agreement, worth £168 million, for the provision of legal interpreting services for foreign languages and deaf users across the justice system (police, prisons, etc.) As part of this agreement, in October 2011, the MoJ signed another £90 million five-year contract covering mainly the courts and tribunals*.

Interpreters protest outside the Houses of Parliament, April 2012 (Aisha Maniar)

The agreement was made with Applied Language Solutions Ltd (ALS), a small private language service provider. But before the courts contract took effect on 30 January 2012, ALS was acquired byCapita, a giant in public service outsourcing. Capita had no prior experience in the languages sector, yet in its own words: ‘Our Framework Agreement with the Ministry of Justice for the provision of language services makes us one of the largest providers of public sector interpreting services operating in the UK.’

The agreement has been described by politicians as a ‘car crash’ and ‘nothing short of shambolic’, and has been subject to inquiries by the National Audit Office, the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee and the Justice Select Committee.

An ongoing boycott by the vast majority of qualified and experienced court interpreters, following the cut in standards and pay the framework agreement entails, has meant the contract target of 98 per cent of fulfilled assignments has never been met. The MoJ has had the option throughout of terminating this contract which has never been performed according to the terms agreed. It has chosen instead to defend the agreement and its partnership with Capita TI consistently. The latest MoJ statistics, with the ‘success rate’ going from ‘from 90.1% in 2013 to 94.6% in 2014’ provide it with some vindication: the service has improved and complaints have fallen.

Courting criticism

The courts tell another story. In 2014, the MoJ alleged £27 million of savings had been made through the framework agreement, but that does not include the costs occasioned through retrials, individuals being held unnecessarily on remand, and delays. In February 2015, Sir James Munby, president of the family division, ordered Capita to pay costs of almost £16,000 when a Slovak interpreter was not provided on seven occasions in the same adoption case, describing the situation as a ‘truly lamentable state of affairs’.

In March, a war crimes prosecution brought under universal jurisdiction laws, concerning the torture of two individuals by an army officer in Nepal in 2005 during the civil war there, only the second of its kind in the UK, had to be adjourned until later this year when no Nepalese interpreter attended the Old Bailey. The previous day at the same court, a Somali-speaking defendant accused of murdering his sister had his case put back to June, as the lack of an interpreter meant he could not enter a plea.

Where are we now?

While the MoJ and Capita TI, in the latter case as a profit-driven enterprise, insist on highlighting the quantitative gains of the framework agreement, the problems experienced by service providers – interpreters – and users – courts, lawyers, complainants and defendants – are almost always qualitative. Now in its fourth year, the arrangement is having a tangible impact on the administration of justice in the courts.

In response to critical parliamentary reports, in January 2014, the MoJ commissioned an independent reviewinto quality arrangements under the framework agreement. The findings were published in November 2014. The report, by consultancy group OptimityMatrix, found that fewer than half of the interpreters employed by Capita TI held adequate or acceptable interpreting qualifications (usually certification from an interpreting body or a university degree). The linguists interviewed also felt that there is a ‘perceived lack of focus on both qualifications and experience in the procedure’ of selecting interpreters.

The report recommended more emphasis on qualifications and experience in hiring, and continuous professional development for interpreters. It also called for regulation of the profession, even though such a recommendation fell outside the scope of the review. This is perhaps indicative of how far and tangibly standards have fallen since 2012.

The MoJ published its response in December 2014, maintaining its claim that ‘we have seen dramatic improvements over the last two years and we are continuing targeted work and investment to further improve performance to deliver value for the taxpayer’. It did not accept most of the report’s recommendations.

With the framework agreement due to be retendered this year, to take effect when the current agreement expires in October 2016, representatives of the umbrella group Professional Interpreters for Justice (PI4J) met the MoJ in February to discuss what progress could be made following the recommendations in the Matrix review. Stating its desire ‘to work with interpreters’ representative bodies’, the MoJ held a workshop with representatives of PI4J on the procurement system.

Prior to this, in late March, PI4J sent an e-mail to the Crown Commercial Services stating that it:

‘cannot support any arrangements or FWA [framework] which does not fully take into consideration all our submissions in respect of minimum professional qualifications for Public Service Interpreters (PSI) and BSL/English Interpreters, Deaf interpreters and Sign Language translators, mandatory NRPSI/NRCPD/SASLI registration, and independent regulation and quality and performance auditing.

Without these safeguards, access to justice will be denied and human rights and race relations will be jeopardised.

Robust standards need to be set and vigorously enforced in order to protect the public and those we serve, which include many vulnerable people, victims and witnesses in the community and justice sector. They must be afforded equal access to the highest levels of linguistic support.’

On 25 March, PI4J launched a manifesto which included the following demands: the use of qualified interpreters; full consultation with the interpreting profession; sustainable terms and conditions to be offered to interpreters; independent auditing of quality and performance, independent regulators; and minimum levels of interpreter qualification.

Sidelined

Interpreters are not an accessory but an essential part of the court system. The MoJ has failed consistently to engage effectively with professional interpreters. In 2013, following the publication of a critical report by the parliamentary Justice Select Committee, the MoJ responded by holding a meeting with interpreter representative bodies and offered interpreters a new package with a pay increase and marginally higher travel allowance. It effectively varied the terms of the framework agreement and ploughed almost £3 million more into it, but the qualitative issues remained unaddressed. The new package was broadly rejected by interpreters.

Professional interpreters are renewing their call for the current framework agreement to be scrapped unless radical improvements are made in a new tender and framework agreement. Court interpreting is a vital public service and not a consumer product. Profits can be recuperated but the sharp decline in quality may be a permanent loss with a severe impact on the rights of the vulnerable.

References: [1] This ‘success rate’ does not include cases where hearings are adjourned or retrials held due to the poor service provided by the Capita TI interpreter.

Roberta:

Most of the interpetrers onf the NRPi are not qualified at all. I am a qualified interpetrer and most of them are there because they are minorities and at their time the DPSI and other qualification did not exist. I never met one of them hat said they are doing some development courtse. The regidter is a bogus and the examination at the IOl are bogus. You pay a lot of money and some quaoified people do not pass the exam or pass part of it and cannot go on the National Regaister?? WE are interpreters and all we need is the oral. If you want to be a translator and the written is important. You pay the resit and some do not pass again.Examiner are interpreters on teh NNational Register and not qualified teachers to assess future interpreters. Those interpreters on the National register only earn easy money and never had any qualification. If youa re a minority or a protected group and then yiou are on the register. They only want money and do not want to work. I hope Capita stay adn I strong believe they will.

November 16, 2014
kiko:

Hope you do not eat as you write Roberta.You do not need a DPSI if the language you are requested to interprete is a rare language. As a professional Interpreter you should use the word profession more seriously and respect everyone.Having a DPSI does not make you a better interprer.

December 2, 2014
Ms Khan:

Dear Roberta

It's very sad that you are interpreting in Courts and working for Capita when you cannot spell a single word correctly.This shows your lack of knowledge and professionalism.
It is a sad day that people like you are working for Ministry of Justice and you have the courage to criticise everyone else on NRPSI

The language of interlingual subtitles

Centre for Translation Studies – CenTraS

@UCL

Date: Tuesday, 5^thMay 2015

Time: 5-6 pm

Location: Bedford Way G03, 26 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0DS

Talk outline: Interlingual subtitling involves the code-switch between the spoken and written forms of language. Spoken language, the language of films and TV series that are subtitled into many languages, differs from the written code, since it contains ellipsis, omissions and sometimes even violations of the rules of grammar. While subtitling from a foreign language into their respective mother tongues, subtitlers navigate between the spoken and written code, and they may produce a hybrid written form of language, the language of subtitles, that is neither spoken, nor “proper” written language. Do subtitlers standardize the spoken language? How does the code-switch affect the viewers? Which procedures do subtitlers use while transforming the spoken language into subtitles? Do they resort to self-censorship while subtitling? The aim of this talk is to answer these and other questions connected to the language of subtitles.

Biography: Kristijan Nikolić is a senior lecturer in the Department of English, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. He teaches courses in UK and US cultures, academic writing, general translation and audiovisual translation, at BA and MA level. He holds as doctoral degree from the University of Vienna, where in 2012 he defended a thesis entitled The Perception of Culture through Subtitles. He is a member of EST, a member of the executive board of ESIST, and the president of the Croatian Association of Audiovisual Translators. He also works as a freelance subtitler. His research interests include cultural studies and audiovisual translation.
