Dragoman Transcreation ·

2018/10/01

There is no golden standard on preparing a screening test for interpreting students. You are supposed to find your own way. In this article I would like to share my approach. Screening test is a must: For one, not every student can become a simultaneous interpreter. Giving false hopes to young minds will only increase their desperation before your realize it is too late. Second, interpreter trainers are usually professional interpreters and they do not have the time and energy needed […]

Dragoman Transcreation ·

2018/09/29

What do translators do? Translators work on written documents. They are typically paid by word or characters or sometimes per lines. They are expected to have advanced reading and writing skills; in-depth knowledge on grammar, syntax, redundancy, style and register. Most translators work remotely without commuting

A style guide or style manual is a set of standards for the writing and design of documents, either for general use or for a specific publication, organization or field.

The 12-hour clock is a time convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods: a.m. (from the Latin ante meridiem, meaning “before midday”) and p.m. (post meridiem, “after midday”). Each period consists of 12 hours numbered: 12 (acting as zero), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. The 12-hour clock was developed over time from the mid-second millennium BC to the 16th century AD. A colon separates hours and […]

My first time in Malmö, small, clean and cold. Flying via Copenhagen seems to be everyone’s normal. Don’t know what to expect of a Nordic forum 2016, except from Anne-Marie’s friendly face. My NTIF experience started with the conference dinner and it was great. For those outside the localization industry, NTIF is a charming annual conference: The Nordic Translation Industry Forum (click here to visit their website:www.ntif.se).

2018/09/22

Remote simultaneous interpreting is not a sci-fi anymore. New solutions are being used in global corporate events on a daily basis.

whispered interpreting

Dragoman Transcreation ·

2018/09/22

In whispered interpreting, interpreter sits behind the client or uses a headset and silently whispers the interpretation to the ears of the person. Whispered interpreting is simultaneous, not consecutive, although no booth is used and therefore whisper interpreting is only suitable for very short interventions. Whispered interpreting is simultaneous interpreting; one interpreter cannot work alone for longer than an hour. If your event is longer, you should book two interpreters. Some interpreters

Work that an editor does to improve the formatting, style, and accuracy of text. Copy-editing has three main levels according to American Association of Editors and Writers: Light (Mechanical): Mostly formatting, typos, grammar and terminology Medium: Word usage and tightening sentences Heavy (deep): Changing sentence structure, words, terms, etc. Copy-editing is different than content editing, which is a much more out-of-the-box job description.

Translation

Dragoman Transcreation ·

2018/09/21

Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text. Whereas interpreting undoubtedly antedates writing, translation began only after the appearance of written literature; there exist partial translations of the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh (ca. 2000 BCE) into Southwest Asian languages of the second millennium BCE. Translation is performed by translators. Unlike what many people think, translation and interpretation are different
