Continue from Part 2 - What Agencies Expect When Hiring Interpreters and Translators by Sergio M. Alarcon - COO at Language Global Solutions 𝟲. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆⁣ Professional ethics are of utmost importance in interpretation and translation. Agencies expect interpreters and translators to respect the confidentiality of the information they work with and to act with integrity in all their interactions. ⁣ ⁣ This is particularly relevant in sensitive sectors like legal and medical, where private and delicate information is handled.⁣ ⁣ 𝟳. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻⁣ ⁣ The interpretation and translation industry is constantly evolving, so agencies value professionals who are committed to their ongoing professional development. ⁣ ⁣ This may include attending workshops, specialization courses, and staying updated on new tools and technologies that facilitate the work.⁣ ⁣ 𝟴. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀⁣ When in Rome, do as the Romans do—It is especially important for the interpreter to have the sensitivity to understand the codes of conduct and dress for the place they are going to provide their services. In other words, they should blend into the group for whom they are interpreting or translating. ⁣ ⁣ Additionally, full respect for the work environment that brings them to the professional event is crucial.⁣ ⁣ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻⁣ Service agencies for interpretation and translation have clear and specific expectations of independent interpreters and translators. ⁣ ⁣ Meeting these expectations not only helps maintain the quality of the service but also strengthens the relationship between the professional and the agency, ultimately benefiting the clients. ⁣ ⁣ The combination of quality, experience, adaptability, and professional ethics is fundamental to success in this highly competitive and essential field of global communication.⁣ ⁣ You do what you do best! We do the rest!

MTPE Ready: Essential Skills Training at Latamways As content demand grows and reaches audiences in their native languages, machine translation (MT) has become essential! This shift has led to the rise of MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing) — a service in high demand, requiring skilled linguists to meet new industry standards. At Latamways, we know that MTPE is a unique process, different from traditional translation and editing. Not every linguist is naturally equipped for this role, as it requires both “hard” and “soft” skills to boost productivity, which is one of MT’s main goals. That's why we have designed our own training, mandatory for those who want to join our team. This hands-on training course aims at bridging the gap between the skills traditionally acquired by linguists during their formal translation education and the skills required to post-edit. Want to know more? Contact us! #MTPE #PostEditing #ProprietaryTraining #TeamLatamways #Latamways

Introducing Inclusion, Diversity and Innovation in Translation Education, edited by Alejandro Bolaños García-Escribano and Mazal Oaknín, with a foreword by Olga Castro, which published today! Through examples of literary and audiovisual translation teaching practices, Inclusion, Diversity and Innovation in Translation Education places a novel emphasis on equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) synergising the latest research advancements in EDI and translation curricula. The contributors revisit how languages and translation are currently taught and explore the relevance of EDI values from an interdisciplinary perspective. The chapters contain proposals of best teaching practices and teacher training guidance alongside examples of research-led teaching scenarios. There is a twofold rationale behind this volume: firstly, identifying links between literary and audiovisual translation teaching practices, which often demand great creativity inside and outside the classroom; and, secondly, placing greater emphasis on EDI-focused methods and themes. Following this approach, readers are invited to consider pressing societal issues such as (media) accessibility, intersectionality, LGBTQI+ and race, among others, and to embed them in their language and translation teaching practices.

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 This week, we’re diving into the fascinating world of idiomatic translation. Our talented translators are ready to tackle the unique challenges idioms present and share their expertise with you. Let’s explore together! 🌍✨ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲? Idiomaticity refers to the use of expressions and phrases that are natural to a native speaker. These idioms often carry meanings that cannot be inferred from the individual words. For instance, the French phrase "poser un lapin" means "to stand someone up" and has nothing to do with rabbits! 🐰❌ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐬 Translating idioms is no easy task. Here are some common challenges our translators face: 1️⃣ 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Idioms can’t be translated word-for-word without losing their meaning. For example, "it’s raining cats and dogs" in English doesn’t make sense if translated literally into other languages. 🌧️🐱🐶 2️⃣ 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 Idioms are deeply rooted in culture. Some expressions might not have a direct equivalent in another language or culture. For example, "kick the bucket" (to die) doesn’t have a direct translation in many languages. 🪣👟 3️⃣ 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 Idioms add colour and nuance to a text. Translating them into generic expressions can flatten the text. For example, replacing "coup de foudre" (love at first sight) with "falling in love" loses some of the original's vividness. 💘⚡ 4️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 Some idioms convey specific connotations or hidden meanings that are hard to capture in another language. For instance, "under the weather" (feeling unwell) carries a gentle, informal tone in English. 🌧️🤕 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧  Respecting idiomaticity is crucial for several reasons: 1️⃣ 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 An idiomatic translation sounds natural and fluent to native speakers, enhancing readability and acceptance. 📖🌟 2️⃣ 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 Idioms are integral to the stylistic identity of a text. Properly rendering them preserves the author’s original tone and style. 🖋️📚 3️⃣ 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 Misinterpreting an idiom can lead to misunderstandings, especially in sensitive contexts. 🚫❓ Translating idioms is a delicate art requiring deep understanding of languages and cultures. By combining different techniques and respecting idiomaticity, our translators create translations that are not only accurate but also vibrant and engaging. Join us this week as we highlight the expertise of our amazing translators.🌟💬 #𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 #𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 #𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
