The hottest job skill is...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

The Army, NYPD and State Department can't get enough workers with this job skill. Neither can Fortune 500 companies, hospitals, local courts and schools.

What is it? Fluency in a foreign language.

Translators and interpreters are expected to be one of the 15 fastest growing occupations in the nation, according to the Department of Labor.

Roughly 25,000 jobs are expected to open up for interpreters (who focus on spoken language) and translators (who focus on written language), between 2010 and 2020, the Department of Labor estimates. That represents 42% growth for the field and does not include the military, which is also recruiting ferociously for more people.

Accounting Terminology Guide (NYSSCPA)

The NYSSCPA (New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants) has prepared this glossary as an educational tool for journalists who report on and interpret financial information.

Funny glossary of translating

Back translation: (1) I can’t proofread and I don’t trust you. Send translation of your translation. (2) Back translation: When the chicken and egg conundrum becomes a language assignment.
Briefing for copywriting style adaptation: Are extremely short and leave the copywriter with more questions than answers.
Capital letters: Something that clients love to put in and translators love to take out.

For the Word on the Street, Courts Call Up an Online Witness

Slang has always been a challenge for the courts in cases that involve vulgar or insulting language. Conventional dictionaries lag the spoken word by design. That has lawyers and judges turning to a more fluid source of definitions: Urban Dictionary, a crowdsourced collection of slang words on the Internet.

The online site, created by a college freshman in 1999, has found itself in the thick of cases involving everything from sexual harassment to armed robbery to requests for personalized license plates, as courts look to discern meaning and intent in the modern lexicon.

European Society of Authors

The European Society of Authors is a literary, intellectual and digital think tank dedicated to promoting translation through a network of projects. The EUSA has three main missions:

★ Creating translation platforms for a multilingual Europe.

★ Linking institutions and cultural organizations to help them support the translation of literary and intellectual works.

★ Promoting translation as a model for European citizenship in the 21st century.

Translation has become an everyday cultural imperative, and we must rapidly take responsibility for its language of the “in-between”, where no nation is master but all nations take part. More than a simple acceptance of social and linguistic diversity, thinking translation as a poetic commons is a real way of confronting conflicts and tensions, and, in so doing, of mobilizing literature and the humanities to bring them far beyond the realm of the written word.

Since its founding in 2008, the European Society of Authors has been encouraging cultural actors to embrace this responsibility. Its four long-term projects each target a different facet of a “Europe of unending translations.”

Iniziativa per traduttori letterari (1)

Traduttori in Movimento

I Edizione. Laboratorio di traduzione letteraria dall’inglese, dallo spagnolo e dal francese per traduttori editoriali professionisti. A cura di Ilide Carmignani.

IL LABORATORIO

“Traduttori in movimento” offre la possibilità di lavorare per tre giorni su un testo fianco a fianco con colleghi per analizzare, discutere e condividere tutte le piccole grandi scelte della traduzione letteraria. Il laboratorio è pensato per chi da troppo tempo dialoga solo con revisori lontani e frettolosi e avverte la necessità di un momento qualificato di confronto e di crescita. I laboratori non intendono essere un corso di traduzione ma una forma di aggiornamento permanente basato sullo scambio collettivo di esperienze. Hanno accesso ai laboratori, come uditori, anche traduttori di madre lingua inglese o spagnola o francese.

8 - 10 luglio 2013
presso Museo Castello Malaspina di Fosdinovo (Massa – Carrara)

Clinical Terminology for International Students

Ci segnalano il seguente corso, destinato agli studenti delle professioni mediche ma potenzialmente utile anche per i traduttori:

University of Pittsburgh

Clinical Terminology for International Students

Students coming to the United States to begin or continue their studies in the health professions are often overwhelmed by differences in language and contrasts in clinical-cultural expectations. American English “doctor-speak” or “nurse-speak” is essentially another new language that international students need to understand and use. This course provides students with strategies to learn effectively, plus a dictionary focused on common clinical abbreviations, acronyms, and phrases that will be most useful in clinical settings in the U.S.

The complexity of interactions and differences in how health care is delivered in U.S. clinical sites can be confusing and anxiety-provoking for international students. Short videos will demonstrate clinical interactions that are often baffling for international students. Culturally-laden aspects of clinical settings and how students can adjust to new clinical situations will be discussed. Guidance on how to negotiate difficult situations will be provided.
