Don Draper has left the building. No creative team, no focus group, and no medical miracle workers at your beck and call: welcome to the world of medical marketing translation – a veritable jungle of multisyllabic pharmacological buzzwords, 140-character limits, and culturally opaque content. This is a challenging field for linguists, who must engage both the right and left brain to master the science of creating artful, engaging, and medically accurate copy. Translators must be prepared to draw on a broad skill set to walk the fine line between pharmacochemistry expert and marketing genius. In this workshop, we will explore the challenges of terminology, linguistic mutation, and brand-specific proprietary terms. Then, we will use sample translations to investigate interlinguistic wordplay, language-specific tone and voice, and production and regulatory constraints. We will also use word-association exercises to improve linguistic dexterity and creative wordsmithing.

Since its introduction in 2010, Apple's iPad has redefined the tablet computer. It is not only a toy for reading and playing games, but can be used by interpreters as a multifunctional tool for preparation, on the go and in the booth. It has the potential to replace the traditional notebook. This workshop presents the iPad hardware, introduces participants to efficient "tablet habits" and shows which of the countless apps are especially useful for interpreters, including hands-on practice and ample time for questions and discussion. The workshop is intended for interpreters who are already familiar with the iPad and would like to use it (more) for professional purposes. Tablet-less colleagues are free to join in and learn more.

This 90-minute workshop focuses on identifying, preparing for and attending client events for the express purpose of linking up with direct clients.
Using concrete examples and case studies, it addresses common questions from translators contemplating a shift to this exciting segment: “How do I start?” and “OK, I’ve got my good outfit on and am at the event; what do I say/do now?” And, of course, the essential “Conversation engaged; how do I shift over into commercial mode?”
Aim: equip all participants to build or add to a portfolio of direct clients over the next 6-12 months.

The European Parliament (EP) is the European Union’s legislative assembly with 751 Members. Underpinning democratic debate in the Parliament is a cutting-edge multilingual conference service that allows Members to express themselves in any of the 24 official languages of the Union. As an elected assembly, the EP differs from the other EU institutions in its obligation, enshrined in its Rules of Procedure, to ensure the highest possible degree of multilingualism. Multilingualism in the EP is demand driven in order to be resource-efficient. Recent measures of demand management have been introduced in order to ensure multilingualism in times of budgetary constraints. New technologies are important for the organisation of interpreting in the EP (multilingual video conferences with national Parliaments; European Election Night; Virtual classes and e-learning). This contribution will present an overview of multilingualism in the EP and link it to the efforts to prepare for the future.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The role played by legal translators in bridging the gaps between legal systems cannot be overestimated. However, the following terms: ‘jurilinguist’, ‘lawyer-linguist’, ‘legal translator’, ‘lawyer trained in translation’, and ‘translator trained in law’ may reflect the lack of a universal consensus on legal translator training programs. Should legal translation only be performed by lawyers trained in translation? Should a linguist interested in legal translation hold a law degree? Or is it sufficient to pursue university-level paralegal courses? The aim of the presentation is to attempt to answer these questions by analyzing the approaches adopted in this area in Canada and the European Union, both of which represent multilingual and plurijural settings, and may provide good practices in legal translator training. The analysis will also be supplemented by the views held on the subject by some renowned translation theorists (H. Mattila, S. Pommer, S. Šarčević).

As a sworn (legal) translator and interpreter of English and Polish, I cooperate with both individual and corporate clients (companies, law firms). In January 2010, I was invited to participate in the Avidicus Project (at the request of the University of Surrey), the aim of which was to test the technique of videoconference interpreting in the Criminal Justice Services, and to comment on the impact this technique might have on the interpreter’s performance. Since February 2012 I have run specific-purpose language courses for legal translators and interpreters. To hone my translation skills, I regularly attend legal translation courses and international conferences in the capacity of both the participant and the speaker. In July 2012, I participated in the International Terminology Summer School in Vienna, where I delivered the following presentation: An ocean of legal terms.

The Court of Justice of the European Union, in cooperation with the courts and tribunals of the EU Member States ensures the uniform application and interpretation of European Union law. The institution consists of three separate courts: The Court of Justice, the General Court - each composed of 28 judges - and the Civil Service Tribunal with 7 judges. As each Member State has its own language and specific legal system, the CJEU is a multilingual institution par excellence.

Its language arrangements have no equivalent in any other court in the world, since each of the official languages can be the language of the case.

Wie kann der optimale, kombinierte Übersetzungsprozess von Mensch und Maschine aussehen, bei dem professionelle Übersetzerinnen sich auf Maschinenübersetzungen stützen können. Ihr Arbeitseinsatz und die Qualität des Übersetzungsprodukts müssen übereinstimmen und die Zieltexte sollen gebrauchstauglich sein. In meinem empirischen Projekt zur Erforschung notwendiger Kompetenzen, zum Übersetzen, Revidieren und zum Pre- und Post-Editing, TraREdit, arbeite ich mit den Sprachen Deutsch, Dänisch und Englisch. Trotz offensichtlicher Mängel von Maschinenübersetzungen muss man erkennen, dass diese besser werden und immer häufiger eingesetzt werden. In meinem Projekt zu kombinierten Kompetenzen im Übersetzungsprozess von Mensch und Maschine analysiere ich die Fehler von Maschinenübersetzungen und vergleiche sie mit den Fehlern von Humanübersetzungen. Einige Fehlertypen lassen sich vermeiden oder überwinden. In meinem Vortrag möchte ich über einige Ergebnisse berichten.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Many language professionals are wondering if new technologies will “disrupt” their professions and to what extent. Interpreters are also increasingly asking themselves what the future holds: will future software and hardware spell the end of the interpreting profession as we know it?
This panel will offer some perspective on this question, examining the interface between interpreters and technology from different angles. There will be no doomsday scenarios or futuristic utopias. Rather, panellists will discuss how technology has already become an important ally to interpreters, bringing innovation to both the booth and the consecutive notepad, while promising to help our profession evolve. The panel will look at technologies that augment the interpreter's performance (such as tablets and smartpens), technologies for the delivery of interpretation (such as mobile apps and remote interpreting) and technologies designed to replace human interpreters altogether (machine interpreting).

This presentation is to give an overview of an advanced online terminology management platform which has the terminology work done by professionals from various industries.
A common problem which translators face is that they are hard to find terminologists when they have queries about terms. This platform is just for them.
The platform differs from conventional ones: Firstly, companies with terminology needs will have access to terminologists. Secondly, professionals from various fields will be motivated to do terminology work on the platform with personal motivation—like foreign language learning.
The mechanism of this platform is like this: The platform provides gigantic corpus. Professionals come to this platform and choose specific field to extract and translate terms as a language learning process. Besides, those who mark and translate accurate terms will be recorded as qualified. Once companies have real projects,qualified terminologists will be resorted to with payment.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
This research indicates that, from recent developments in the industry of translation, several trends are evident: new advancements of machine translation (MT), a growing marginalization of traditional working style of translation and a change of behaviour-pattern in many clients of translation service. It is believed that in this era of data, a new combination of skill sets may be demanded and a new job description for translator is to be in place. To be specific, this research predicts three general trends in the future labour division of translators: algorithm developer; MT supervisor and copy-writer.
The paper believes that either actively or unwillingly, translators will adapt to and accept the presence of MT systems as their daily trade of the mill. By rewriting their own job descriptions, a translator may seize the initiative and become a one-stop information provider, tailoring information at the demand of customers.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The purpose of this paper is to examine the emerging paralinguist occupation within the translation process in Canada and its potential impact on the translation profession. The creation of this new occupation is an initiative undertaken collaboratively by a number of training institutions to address the impending shortage of translators. The concept is that, by delegating relatively mechanical tasks such as terminology searches, computer-automated translations and formatting of documents to paralinguists, translators will be able to concentrate on the strictly linguistic and cultural aspects of translation and thereby become more productive. This paper proposes to examine a number of issues, such as: How does paralinguist training differ from translator training? How will the introduction of paralinguists influence the technological and terminological aspects of the translation process? What is likely to be the impact of paralinguists on the professionalization of translation?

Medical interpreting is a specialization of the interpreting profession, with a growing number of staff positions in hospitals worldwide. While the practice has existed since the first staff hospital medical interpreter was hired in 1969 at Boston City Hospital, the professionalization of this specialization has been a gradual process. It began with the first Code of Ethics in 1986 and Standards of Practice for the profession in 1995. This professionalization was significantly marked by the development of a national certification of medical interpreters in the United States in October 2009 by the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters (National Board), a division of the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA). In this workshop, three aspects of certification will be covered: 1) the primary drivers for certification, 2) the development process for the for the initial certification exams and 3) expansion plans for the certification program.

Literaturübersetzen und Marketing, das passt für viele nicht zusammen. Aber wie kommen Literaturübersetzer an neue Aufträge oder überhaupt erst einmal auf den Markt, wenn sie keine Werbung für sich machen? Geht es wirklich nicht ohne den berühmten "Onkel im Verlag"? Hat es wirklich keinen Sinn, sich bei Verlagen blind zu bewerben? Oder kommt es vielmehr darauf an, WIE man sich präsentiert und "verkauft"?
In diesem Workshop sollen verschiedene Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt werden, wie (angehende) Literaturübersetzer sich überhaupt erst einmal sichtbar machen können, welche vielfältigen Möglichkeiten es gibt, sich potenziellen Kunden zu präsentieren, und wie man dabei authentisch bleibt. Einige dieser Methoden, etwa den Besuch der Frankfurter Buchmesse oder Blindbewerbungen, habe ich selbst schon mit Erfolg eingesetzt und möchte aufzeigen, warum sie bei manchen funktionieren und bei anderen nicht. Gemeinsam sollen dann weitere Marketingideen gesammelt werden.

On dit que les mémoires de traduction sont des outils indispensables pour les cabinets. Les entreprises qui vendent des mémoires de traduction ne cessent de vanter les avantages de ces outils : vous améliorerez votre rendement, vous traduirez plus de mots en moins de temps, vous serez bien plus efficaces...
Quelles sont les réelles retombées et les vraies conséquences de ces outils sur la productivité et les recettes d’une entreprise?
La présentation se veut une étude de cas : une petite entreprise fait le saut dans le monde technologique grâce à l’acquisition d’une mémoire de traduction et calcule les retombées réelles sur ses activités. Elle se penchera aussi sur les conséquences de l’installation d’un tel système sur le personnel de l’entreprise, sur leurs habitudes de travail, sur la nature du travail, sur la gestion des dossiers et sur l’avenir de l’entreprise.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The tools available to manage and execute translate and localization projects are becoming increasingly complex and technical. Vendors seem to be in a perpetual race to offer every integration or feature under the sun, whilst forgetting about their end users - translators and translation companies - who waste precious time struggling with poorly designed software. As a result of this prioritisation of features over usability, users can find themselves spending more time on grappling with technology and less on leveraging these tools to increase their productivity. So how should software vendors compete for market share whilst producing usable tools? The answer is that they should focus on a providing a highly usable core set of key features rather than trying to be the one size fits all Swiss army knife of translation tools.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
While machine translation (MT) may prove useful in educational (Leffa 1994), technical, medical and scientific texts, Voigt and Jurafsky (2010)’s study of referential cohesion of literary MT showed limitations to which stylistic features could be rendered adequately by MT alone. Even with advanced technology and rapid development of software, aesthetic touch of translating literary texts by MT are still far from perfect for lack of spiritual and holistic dimensions. Translators hardly die in times of MT claimed by Lee (2011). Rather, even with sophisticated programmes available in future, differences of MT and human translation indicated MT’s role to aid humans in the initial phase of translation but daunting post-editing follows. This paper argues that traditional or modern MT (Hedblom 2010) applied to literary texts pose challenges as well as possibilities (Huang 2011) and implied the indispensability of human literary translators.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
What implications does this realisation have – or should it have – for the way we approach our work? How can we counteract our human failings and exploit our human advantages to the full? This is not just a matter of: “We make mistakes, translation memory perpetuates them”. It extends beyond core translating skills to include communication with clients, agencies, colleagues and others, the need for continuous upgrading in the sense of life-long learning, problems with organising and mobilising knowledge, and many other fields. It can even affect our attitude to our profession and its status: Do we hide behind our computers, phones and e-mail, or do we take a proactive stance in our dealings with the outside world?

Taking a fresh and wide-ranging look at what makes human translators their own worst enemy, this talk seeks to provide practical and pragmatic solutions to a number of familiar everyday problems by raising awareness of how the problems arise in the first place.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The interpreting profession is undergoing major changes in a globalized world, where communication settings diversify into different mediated and unmediated communication modes, including the use of ELF, translation/interpretation, and multilingual practices.
In my paper I will summarize the findings of ELF-related interpreting research and detail implications of the global spread of ELF on conference interpreters on the basis of findings from a 90.000 word corpus of in-depth interviews with 10 professional conference interpreters; a questionnaire survey among 32 professional conference interpreters; and two small-scale studies of the interpretations of interpreter trainees and professionals as well as retrospective interviews with them. The focus will be on main interpreter concerns (the shared languages issue; the different variety issue; the cognitive load issue) and necessary shifts in competencies (regarding language, transfer, professional role and business competence).

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Technological development and globalization continue to raise the need for translations. In order to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness, organizations increasingly make use of machine translation and edit the machine translation output to create a fluent text that adheres to the given text conventions. This procedure is known as post-editing.
In a series of experiments, 24 translators (professional and semi-professional) produced translations from scratch and post-edited machine translation output. The different (un)conscious cognitive processes and strategies involved in the different tasks were tracked back with keylogging and eyetracking data as well as interviews.
Do translators need different strategies to post-edit machine translation output than for translating from scratch? How can these strategies be used for translators’ education and training? And could these help to improve the acceptance of post-editing as a new task for translators?

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Als Medizin-ÜbersetzerIn trifft man immer häufiger auf Fragebögen und Skalen (z. B. Bewertungsskalen).
Der Vortrag gibt praktische Tipps für die Suche nach validierten Übersetzungen von Fragebögen/Skalen. Wie findet man möglichst schnell und zuverlässig heraus, ob es eine validierte Übersetzung gibt? Wie kommt man möglichst schnell und kostengünstig an die Übersetzung? Welche einschlägigen Internetseiten oder Skalensammlungen gibt es?
Zusätzlich werden theoretische Grundlagen zur interkulturellen Adaptation von Fragebögen/Skalen gegeben. Dadurch soll das Problembewusstsein für die Fälle erhöht werden, in denen eine selbstständige Übersetzung notwendig ist.
Abschließend werden bei der Übersetzung medizinischer Texte besonders häufig anzutreffende Fragebögen/Skalen vorgestellt.
Der Vortrag behandelt die Übersetzung englischer Fragebögen/Skalen in die deutsche Sprache. Die Inhalte lassen sich zum Großteil jedoch auch auf andere Sprachenpaare übertragen.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Der Bedarf an medizinischen Übersetzungen nimmt offenbar in den letzten Jahren stetig zu. Diese Texte richten sich sowohl an Patienten als auch an Ärzte und Fachpersonal.
Zwar werden in beiden Sprachen überwiegend lateinische und griechische Fachausdrücke verwendet. Es genügt im Allgemeinen aber nicht, diese Fachausdrücke in angepasster Schreibweise ins Deutsche zu übernehmen. Häufig wird im Englischen ein Fremdwort verwendet und im Deutschen nicht und umgekehrt. Und manchmal hat dasselbe Fremdwort im Englischen und Deutschen eine ganz andere Bedeutung.
Ein weiterer Aspekt ist, dass es gerade hier auch auf einen flüssigen Stil, logisches Aufeinanderfolgen der Sätze und die Betonung der Kernaussage ankommt. Ziel sollte es immer sein, dass sich der Text genauso liest wie ein entsprechender(guter)deutscher Text. Die Frage: „Was könnte wohl hiermit gemeint sein“, sollte sowohl den Patienten als auch den Fachleuten erspart werden.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Sim-Consec™ (Simultaneous-Consecutive) is an exciting combination of two interpreting modes plus portable technology. It is quickly becoming the technique of choice for many settings in conference and community interpreting. This workshop shows you how you can implement this mode in your day-to-day work and explores some of the technologies which can be used to enhance your practice.
Interpreters do a simultaneous interpretation immediately after recording the original, while still having their consecutive notes as a backup. The use of this technique allows for greater precision, more focus and less anxiety during consecutive interpreting.
If the number of attendees in this session is larger than 20, the session will be done in a presentation/demo format only. However, if any attendees are interested in a practice session, one might be scheduled later on during the conference (limited to 20 participants). The practice session will be subdivided into small groups, and participants will be guided in their practice through drills and exercises. A digital recorder/smart phone and a set of ear buds is required for this smaller session. Some digital pens will be made available for practice during class.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The paper deals with problems Serbian legal translators have during the process of stabilisation and rapprochement with the EU. There will be introduced questions of overcoming cultural differences that are based on different historical experiences. Analogous to this, the process of differentiating similar languages, updated in the Balkans, raises the question of taking into consideration language varieties. Analyzing expressions used in phrases and their translations as well as in case of administrative language, it will be asked to what extent syntactic functions are associated with a feeling for language or whether it is a question of style. Illustrated by the example of German language it will be shown that the choice between a transcription and a transliteration is not always an essential one. These issues seem to be more a matter of deciding whether an adequate translation matches with an equivalent meaning or not and will be explained on the example of EUROVOC Thesaurus.

This paper discuses the procedures of developing the e-voice translation software of chengyu which translates from the Chinese language into the Malay language and its usage. The development procedure for this software is divided into four phases i.e. scrutiny the translation strategies, translating chengyu into Malay, database construction and e-voice translation development, and evaluating and testing the use of the newly developed e-voice translation. The software enables users to find a chengyu equivalent in Malay by inputting only keywords. It will then display and read out the chengyu with its equivalent and explanation. Users may also utilize the software to learn the pronunciation of Chinese chengyu and its Malay equivalent.

Man kann Maschinelle Übersetzung (MÜ) gut oder schlecht finden, aber nicht ignorieren. Die Konzeption von Transit NXT behandelt MÜ als Übersetzungsvorschläge, die - wie Fuzzy Matches aus dem Translation Memory - vom Anwender freigegeben werden müssen. Somit werden keine ungeprüften MÜ-Segmente verwendet. Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers erweitert sich also um das „Post-Editing“, mit dem maschinelle Übersetzungen geprüft und ggf. korrigiert werden.
Zunächst gebe ich einen kurzen Überblick über die MÜ-Schnittstellen von Transit und zeige, wie Sie diese für Projekte optimieren können.
Anschließend erfahren Sie, wie Sie das Post-Editing mit Transit effizient durchführen, indem Sie MÜ-Segmente gezielt filtern und prüfen. Dazu verwenden Sie auch die Standard-Prüfroutinen von Transit (z.B. Rechtschreib- und Terminologieprüfung, Prüfung nicht zugelassener Benennungen und sprachneutraler Produktnamen, Markup-Check, Konsistenz von Zahlenformaten sowie Längenprüfung).

Mehr als 100 deutschsprachige Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer arbeiten in Brüssel und Luxemburg für dieses EU-Organ, das die Vorschläge für EU-Rechtsvorschriften liefert. Nicht zuletzt wegen der Größe des Dienstes können Übersetzer bei der Kommission unter idealen Bedingungen arbeiten: von hochmoderner technischer Ausstattung bis zur eigenen Terminologie-Datenbank, von Qualitätsmanagement bis Spracherkennung, von der Nähe zu den Autoren der jeweiligen Texte bis hin zu juristischer Unterstützung - die Kommission ist als Arbeitgeber für Übersetzer besonders attraktiv.
Die Fachbereiche der Übersetzungen sind – wie auch die Arbeitsgebiete der Kommission – vielfältig und decken Themen wie Klimapolitik, Finanzen, Landwirtschaft, den Kampf gegen Betrug, aber auch Chemie, Satellitenkommunikation, Kfz-Technik und Arzneimittel ab. Ebenso facettenreich sind die zu übersetzenden Textsorten: Rechtsvorschriften und Strategiepapiere, Konsultationsdokumente für oder von nationalen Parlamenten und ebenso der Schriftverkehr mit nationalen Behörden, Unternehmen und Bürgern, Broschüren, Pressemitteilungen.
Noch dieses Jahr startet das Europäische Amt für Personalauswahl (EPSO) ein Auswahlverfahren für deutschsprachige Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer. Gesucht werden geeignete Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten für Übersetzerstellen nicht nur bei der Kommission, sondern auch bei anderen Institutionen und Einrichtungen in Brüssel und Luxemburg. Dazu zählen unter anderem das Europäische Parlament, der Rat und der Wirtschafts- und Sozialausschuss. Aus einer Reserveliste mit den besten Teilnehmern werden Kandidaten anhand ihres Profils ausgewählt, wenn Stellen frei werden.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Afrikaans is a minority language with Germanic roots, spoken in the southernmost part of Africa. In 2009, Google added Afrikaans to its array of language options for its machine translation application, Google Translate. Its developers claim that Google Translate’s output improves over time. This claim, and enquiries about using Google Translate in a multilingual higher education context, led us to investigate its output in the language pair Afrikaans>English. We conducted a longitudinal study in which the same educational material was translated by Google Translate yearly from 2010 to 2013. The four sets of translations were then analysed to identify translation errors as an indication of quality. The most frequent errors are described in this paper and the different years’ mistakes are compared. The analysis seeks to determine whether translations by Google Translate are becoming a more viable option for users in our context and how this technology could be applied appropriately.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Herausforderungen bei Übersetzungsprojekten ergeben sich aufgrund der Kosten-. Zeit- und Risikokalkulation, der komplexen Kommunikation mit allen Projektbeteiligten, die an verschiedenen Standorten sitzen und unterschiedlich angesprochen werden sollten. Hinzu kommt, dass Prozesse zunehmend halbautomatisiert ablaufen und zuerst Dokumente und dann Übersetzungen aus vielen unterschiedlichen Komponenten zusammengesetzt werden. Ein Projekt in 20-30 Sprachen bedeutet oft mehr als zehn Arbeitsschritte pro Sprache bei gleichzeitig sinkenden Textmengen. Wie kann man die Quadratur des Kreises bewältigen: Das Projektmanagement effektiv gestalten, die Kosten hierfür unter Kontrolle halten und angemessene Qualität liefern?
In der Diskussion werde der Wandel der Übersetzungsprojekte angesprochen und die Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten von Projektmanagern. Auf Vorteile und Grenzen von Projektmanagementwerkzeugen und Abrechnungsfragen wird eingegangen.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
With the massive proliferation of Machine Translation we are witnessing a paradigm shift. Automation seems to be the order of the day in the entire translation process. What is in the pipeline for the next 5 years?

The following topics will be addressed:

Will MT outperform the CAT technology?
What skills do post-editors of MT need and in what way can they become creative?
Is Statistical MT bound to deteriorate in terms of quality? Can the so-called “Google time loop” be avoided? And will the European Commission face a similar problem soon?
Should an ethics of using MT be introduced, to put MT back into its rightful place? The XXth FIT Congress could adopt a “Berlin Declaration on the usage of MT in the translation profession” in this regard.
Is sharing Translation Memories in the Cloud a potential threat?
What is the prospect for automated interpreting? Is Google Glass the answer?
How much further will the disintermediation trend (sidelining agencies) take us?

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The goal of the presentation is to outline new methods of machine translation and interpretation and to ponder a question whether a machine can replace a human. At some point professional translators and interpreters have to admit that they will have to re-establish their position on the market in relation to new technologies.
Still, there are aspects of translation and interpretation in which computers have not yet managed to outperform humans and further work on these aspects may contribute to strengthening our position on the market and increasing the efficiency of machine translation. It is definitely more useful than trying to fend off new technologies as machine translation is not aimed at replacing human experts.
The question is not: should we be afraid? The question is: will we use it to our good to improve the efficiency of our work or will we let it disparage the work of translators and interpreters, which will inevitably lead to the deterioration of quality on the market?

Der Nürnbergerprozess 1945 kennzeichnet die Geburtstunde des Simultandolmetschens. Nach einer kurzen geschichtlichen Einführung wird auf die damals innovative technische Lösung des 4-Sprachen-Problems eingegangen, wodurch der Prozess erst möglich wurde. Die Pionierarbeit, die unsere Dolmetscher-Kollegen damals leisteten, wird alsdann vom damaligen Chefdolmetscher der Anklage, Siegfried Ramler, in einer Videoaufzeichnung seiner Rede vor Übersetzern und Dolmetschern in Nürnberg erläutert, die anlässlich der Veranstaltung im Memorium Nürnberg am 30. November 2010 von der Vortragenden aufgenommen wurde. Viele Tipps sind auch heute noch in unserem hoch technisierten Zeitalter recht wertvoll.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
On two occations, I have translated plays by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen into Japanese for the New National Theatre Tokyo.
One of the challenges one meets when translating from Norwegian into Japanese is the fact that while in Norway the words themselves do not change depending on who one speaks to, in Japan, word choice and sentence strure has a finely nuanced hierarchical order. When translating for stage where the performance aims to be psychologically realistic, one must enter the characters and their language into this Japanese grid of hierarchy. In other words, when translating Ibsen into Japanese, some aspects are not lost, but added in translation.
In this presentation, I would like to show, through examples, the challenges I encounter, how I choose to attend to them, and discuss what this can indicate about the cultural differences that lies beneath this gap.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Versuchen Sie, Ihre Texte geschlechtersensibel zu verfassen, also Frauen, wenn sie „mitgemeint“ sind, auch sprachlich sichtbar werden zu lassen? Welche Anredeformen z. B. in offiziellen Texten zu verwenden sind, ist ein viel diskutiertes Thema, bei dem verschieden Überzeugungen aufeinanderprallen. Aber welche Richtlinien gibt es eigentlich zu gendersensiblen oder genderneutralen Sprache? Und worin liegt überhaupt der Unterschied zwischen gender- oder geschlechtersensibler und geschlechtsneutraler Sprache? Ist es möglich, auf Geschlechtsspezifizierungen gänzlich zu verzichten? Bereits bei einsprachigen Texten findet sich eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Lösungsansätze, deren Umsetzung bei der Übersetzung zahllose Schwierigkeiten aufwerfen kann. In meinem Vortrag möchte ich die Sensibilität für geschlechtsneutrale Formulierungen schärfen und Vorschläge liefern, wie bei der Übersetzung mit geschlechtssensibler und geschlechtsneutraler Sprache umgegangen werden kann.

This article is conceived in response to the increasing demand placed upon translators to work with more languages in a highly competitive market; it aims to shed light on how to develop reading comprehension skills in a foreign language with a twofold goal: (1) showing from experience how one can acquire and use a language for specific purposes from the very beginning; (2) giving some insightful information and techniques for learning a foreign language, focusing on the skills that one needs to acquire for work as a translator. This collaboration is based on empirical and professional teaching experience as a university professor for the German language course “Reading Comprehension of Literary, Humanistic and Technical Texts” at the Universidad Nacional del Comahue, in Patagonia, Argentina.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Spoken-language educational interpreting plays a pivotal role to improve access to education at the North-West University. The NWU implemented an interpreting service in 2004 which has expanded significantly. Recently, Sign Language interpreting for one Deaf student was added to this service. In doing so, a learning environment which is accessible to the Deaf is created. In terms of role-fulfilment the educational interpreter’s role has proven to be a dynamic one (Kotzé, 2012) and questions which arise are how these interpreters cope with the demand of interpreting within a higher education setting and whether they have the skills to do so effectively. -A dynamic role model allows the interpreter to face challenges based on individual merit and is dependent on the circumstances in which these challenges occur. This paper aims to continue research on the educational interpreters’ role-fulfilment and how Sign Language interpreters address the challenges they face on daily basis.

Machine translation output has reached a degree of quality which makes it possible and efficient for post-editing into high-quality translation products. To better support human post-editors during their work, intelligent user interfaces can be designed which present detailed translation relevant information that is usually hidden inside the translation system. However, currently it is unclear which pieces of information should be presented at what moment in time and in which format for translators to make the best possible use of the rich data resources in MT systems. The EU project CasMaCat (Cognitive Analysis and Statistical Methods for Advanced Computer Aided Translation) has developed an advanced next generation translator's workbench based on cognitive studies of translators' typing and eye-gazing behaviour. In this poster we show how translators' behaviour is logged and evaluated, and present preliminary findings of post-editing difficulties and post-editing styles.

Terminology improves the knowledge of specialists and the metalanguage of sciences. Sciences have become hiperspecialized and now they have turned to another direction: interdisciplinarity, which is both a priority and a difficulty. Limits between sciences must be more flexible and be discussed with the professionals involved. The Terminology Project at the Brazilian Ministry of Health prepares glossaries, promoting the exchange and use of its knowledge. Monolingual glossaries are developed and some have the terms translated into English (bilingual) and English and Spanish (trilingual). The specialized environment at the National Institute of Cancer (INCA) brought together a multidisciplinary team, to reunderstand the concepts and rewrite definitions. Lessons learned: Glossaries must be updated periodically and the transversal exchange of knowledge is very important.

Die Europäische Kommission ist mit 1 600 festangestellten Übersetzern, 24 Sprachen und 552 möglichen Sprachenkombinationen mit Sicherheit der größte öffentliche Übersetzungsdienst der Welt. Mehr als 100 deutschsprachige Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer arbeiten in Brüssel und Luxemburg für dieses EU-Organ, das die Vorschläge für EU-Rechtsvorschriften liefert. Nicht zuletzt wegen der Größe des Dienstes können Übersetzer bei der Kommission unter idealen Bedingungen arbeiten: von hochmoderner technischer Ausstattung bis zur eigenen Terminologie-Datenbank, von Qualitätsmanagement bis Spracherkennung, von der Nähe zu den Autoren der jeweiligen Texte bis hin zu juristischer Unterstützung - die Kommission ist als Arbeitgeber für Übersetzer besonders attraktiv.
Die Fachbereiche der Übersetzungen sind – wie auch die Arbeitsgebiete der Kommission – vielfältig und decken Themen wie Klimapolitik, Finanzen, Landwirtschaft, den Kampf gegen Betrug, aber auch Chemie, Satellitenkommunikation, Kfz-Technik und Arzneimittel ab. Ebenso facettenreich sind die zu übersetzenden Textsorten: Rechtsvorschriften und Strategiepapiere, Konsultationsdokumente für oder von nationalen Parlamenten und ebenso der Schriftverkehr mit nationalen Behörden, Unternehmen und Bürgern, Broschüren, Pressemitteilungen.
Noch dieses Jahr startet das Europäische Amt für Personalauswahl (EPSO) ein Auswahlverfahren für deutschsprachige Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer. Gesucht werden geeignete Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten für Übersetzerstellen nicht nur bei der Kommission, sondern auch bei anderen Institutionen und Einrichtungen in Brüssel und Luxemburg. Dazu zählen unter anderem das Europäische Parlament, der Rat und der Wirtschafts- und Sozialausschuss. Aus einer Reserveliste mit den besten Teilnehmern werden Kandidaten anhand ihres Profils ausgewählt, wenn Stellen frei werden.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Translator and company associations have usually followed separate paths, though both have many interests in common. Based on many outdated settings, there has always been a shade of distrust in their mutual relationships, both at national and international levels. Though there are differences in some of their goals, many of their interests and objectives are shared, and some joint initiatives could be mutually beneficial. There are cases of cooperation as in EN-15038 creation, in which FIT actively participated after EUATC’s invitation. It is possible to foster common initiatives aiming at best practices in industry to support career pathways, whether working within companies as individual translators or interpreters.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Is the day coming when there will no longer be any traditional translators – just pre-editors and post-editors for translating machines? When instead of translators using machines as tools, the machines will be using us as tools?


A panel of experienced translators from widely differing fields sets out to explore the options open to today's (and tomorrow's) translators for influencing the way our profession develops. How should we respond to our very own "climate change"? What is worth conserving? Should we accept change as given and concentrate on adapting to it? Or is there something we can do to shape or steer the pace, direction and nature of change? What action can and should professional associations and individuals take in the short and long term?


The audience can look forward to a lively discussion of these and related issues, with plenty of opportunity to make contributions of their own.

We are sure that every one of you has already faced the problem several times in their career: Where is the file? And what was the name of the file again? Am I sure that this is really the latest version of the file? Many translators collaborate and work in teams. For them it is highly important to agree on common file naming and file and folder structure, if they do not want to spend most of their working time looking for files. Of course, there are diverse factors that may influence on both naming and folder structure. Certain tools employed in the translation process for example demand specific naming and structures that have to be considered when establishing the specific team rules. Another crucial factor is where to store files. For a group of collaborators it is more than helpful to find a common storage possibility. In our presentation, we would like to show several models for naming files and folders and demonstrate diverse storage options, i.e. local, cloud or NAS solutions.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Sehr häufig wird von der Qualität einer Übersetzung gesprochen. Dabei werden in erster Linie sprachliche Aspekte bewertet. Eine so vorbereitete und bis in die Perfektion gebrachte Übersetzung kann aber trotz aller Mühe ein sogar minderwertiges Produkt liefern. Warum?
Nun, der Lieferprozess endet nicht an der Übersetzung. Diese an sich perfekte Übersetzung kann beispielsweise in einem Spiel verwendet werden. Und da werden lange, stilistisch perfektionierte Sätze einfach nicht gebraucht - der Spieler möchte eben keine Monologe griechischer Philosophen hören, sondern sein Spiel spielen.
Oder die Übersetzung soll als Buch erscheinen. Der Text ist in der Tat perfekt, der Layouter beherrscht seine Arbeit nicht gut und fragt vielleicht nicht nach. Und weil sich der Übersetzer nur an den Inhalt konzentriert hat, sind die typographischen Regeln außer Acht gelassen worden. Das Buch ließt sich dadurch einfach schlechter.
Viele andere Fälle erzähle ich in der Präsentation.

Introducing machine translation (MT) in subtitling is well on its way. The main reason for this is the growing volume of AV content, offering new business opportunities for the industry. While the massive growth in volume is a fact, there are several reasons for a critical assessment of the validity and value of MT in multimedia translation. My presentation will focus on the influence of Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) on the language and textuality of subtitled films/TV programmes and – in the event of a large-scale semi-automation of subtitling – on the sense of language of target audiences. I will propose the following questions for discussion: Firstly, is it possible for post-editors to make SMT output files into polysemiotically coherent texts? And, secondly, is it possible for post-editors to oppose the tendency of SMT to produce impoverished language? If yes, what would be the necessary conditions to do so regarding both questions?

Terminology is a key to successful professional communication and accurate translation. Current technological advances allow for the utilisation of terminology resources both by human and machine users. The proposed panel starts with the moderator's short baseline introduction into recent developments (e.g., Web3.0, cloud computing, standards). These are having a significant impact on terminology praxis in the XXIst century. The main question of the panel is "What are Dream Terminology Services in XXI?". Co-presenters give their short talks as a response to the moderator's question. The audience is involved in the discussion to complete the wish list and to reveal new ways of exploiting emerging technological advances to face time and cost challenges in terminology work. We believe, the outcomes of the proposed panel discussion will help both academia and industry visualise Terminology Services in XXI and to answer the main question of the proposed panel discussion.

Les objectifs premiers du RTE visent à favoriser l'échange de renseignements terminologiques et linguistiques, en français et en anglais, sur le domaine de l'éducation et à offrir aux membres et à la relève des occasions de formation, de perfectionnement et d'enrichissement professionnels.
Pour permettre à ses membres de partager leur recherche terminologique et d’échanger sur des problèmes pointus, le RTE a créé un wiki appelé « EducWiki – la terminozone du RTE ». Dans le cadre de cette communication, nous présenterons la raison d’être du wiki, les arguments expliquant le choix de la plate-forme informatique, le mode de fonctionnement du wiki et la gestion des utilisateurs du wiki. Nous proposerons aussi des pistes d’avenir potentielles.

Der Workshop möchte die verschiedenen Akteure des Übersetzungsmarktes – Arbeitssuchende, Arbeitgeber und Einrichtungen, die Übersetzer ausbilden – zusammenführen. Welche Erwartungen und Anforderungen haben die verschiedenen Beteiligten und wie wird man ihnen gerecht?
Ausgangspunkt der Diskussion sind die von der Expertengruppe "Europäischer Master Übersetzen" ermittelten Kompetenzen. Das von dieser Gruppe erstellte Kompetenzprofil beschreibt detailliert die Fähigkeiten, die Übersetzer benötigen, um auf dem heutigen Markt bestehen zu können. Immer mehr Hochschulen nutzen das Profil bei der Gestaltung ihrer Lehrprogramme.
Der Workshop unter der Leitung der Generaldirektion Übersetzung der Europäischen Kommission (DGT) beschäftigt sich mit folgenden Fragen: Entsprechen diese Kompetenzen noch dem tatsächlichen Bedarf? Müssten weitere Kompetenzen hinzukommen? Wie lässt sich ein etwaiges Missverhältnis zwischen Qualifikationsangebot und -nachfrage beseitigen?

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The times when the most modern technology used in translation was the electric typewriter are over. Technology entered translators’ lives in the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation in the middle of the 1970s and its importance has been growing since then. Today translators can, and mostly do, use a mix of translation memories and statistical machine translation. The technological mix is improving constantly: machine and human are entering into a symbiosis where it is difficult to tell who assists whom. This presentation will concentrate on yet another mix: combining rule-based and statistical approaches. The Commission has developed statistical systems for more than sixty direct language pairs using its huge internal translation repository. But adding linguistic knowledge is necessary to bring some pairs to quality levels similar to those reached for Romance languages. The ongoing work and the expectations and results obtained so far will be presented, focusing on user acceptance.

I will begin my talk by giving the audience a brief introduction to the modern world of central banking, with particular emphasis on the Bundesbank and its role in the Eurosystem. This will include defining a few terms, in the hope of shedding some light on what we do.
I will then introduce the Bundesbank's Language Services and how we combine "man and machine" in order to help the Bundesbank accomplish its objectives.
In the last part of my talk, I will discuss the direction in which we believe the work of the Language Services will evolve within the institutional context of the Eurosystem, devoting a few words to the Single Supervisory Mechanism for banking supervision in Europe, which is due to "go live" in 2014.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
At the Language Services of Forschungszentrum Jülich, we translate or revise scientific texts that communicate visions for the future of society, making them accessible, largely through English, to an international audience. The results of experiments, theories and computer simulations must be conveyed to different target groups: the scientific community, politicians, funders, international organizations and the general public.
Scientific work at Jülich concerns such topics as fuel cells for clean mobility, brain research for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, supercomputing and atmospheric pollution. Jülich started life as a nuclear research centre and now works on alternative energies. We translators need to be just as flexible.
The translation of popular science brochures, apps and websites has become one of our specializations. This requires a command of the technical vocabulary, an understanding of the scientific method, and the creative talent of an advertising agency.

Was geschieht eigentlich im Kopf des Übersetzers oder der Übersetzerin beim Übersetzen eines Textes? Beim Translation Slam treten zwei oder mehr Übersetzer mit ihrer jeweiligen Übersetzung eines identischen Ausgangstexts gegeneinander an. Dabei geht es nicht darum, wer die bessere Übersetzung abliefert, sondern welche Überlegungen zu einzelnen Übersetzungsentscheidungen geführt haben.
In diesen Diskussionsprozess wird das Publikum, dem sowohl Ausgangstext als auch Übersetzungen vorliegen, mit einbezogen und zu eigenen Lösungsvorschlägen und Diskussionsbeiträgen eingeladen.

Der Translation Slam ist zugänglich für die Öffentlichkeit - außer den Kongressteilnehmern sind auch alle, die an dieser Veranstaltung interessiert sind, herzlich dazu eingeladen.

Der Translation Slam wird unterstützt vom Goethe-Institut im Rahmen der Initiative DEUTSCH 3.0. Weitere Informationen über diese Initivative unter www.deutsch3punkt0.de.

TransCert war als freiwilliges Zertifizierungssystem für Übersetzer geplant, um eine Auslese aus der wachsenden Schar unqualifizierter Übersetzungsdienstleister zu treffen.
Auf entsprechend hohem Niveau schien dies eine gute Möglichkeit zu sein, um die Spreu vom Weizen zu trennen.
Grundlage für die Professionalität sollte das Kompetenzrad des EMT (European Master in Translation) bilden. Was ist davon geblieben?
Wer darf oder muss sich nun nach Einführung zertifizieren lassen? Werden Zertifizierungen in Zukunft Zwang und akademische Titel obsolet?
Wer prüft und nach welchen Kriterien?
Wird der Markt eine freiwillige Zertifizierung akzeptieren? Wer sind die Zertifizierungsorganismen?
Das Projekt wurde quasi unter Ausschluss der Praktiker des Berufs vorangetrieben. Aufgrund dieser Tatsache bleibt die Umsetzung fragwürdig.
Dieser Beitrag soll eine kritische Würdigung der Zertifizierung sein und bietet einen Ausblick auf den Beruf des Übersetzers in der Zukunft.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Panelists are from Europe, Africa, North America, Australia, and China. The moderator will prepare a set of proposed criteria for translator certification programs around the world that want to be sound and defensible, based on ISO 17024 (requirements for organizations that certify persons) but tailored to the area of translation. Each panelist will briefly present the status of translator certification in their region of the world and respond to the proposed criteria (whether they are good criteria and, if so, how close various translator certification programs have come to meeting them).
Scope: This panel is about certifying translators as persons, rather than certiying translation service providers (TSPs) according to the forthcoming ISO 17100, neither does it presume to set minimal requirements for an MA degree in Translation. The ultimate application of the minimal requirements would be accreditation of certification schemes (i.e. programs that certify translators).

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Corpus Linguistics and its analytical tools for making word frequency lists, concordances and collocation tables have a great unexploited potential for interpreters. When preparing for an interpretation job, interpreters have to list words, terms and phrases which would probably come up during the lecture to be translated. Corpus analytical tools can almost instantly make word frequency/alphabetical lists of words and terms (including two, or more words in a sequence)/ concordance lines (i.e., series of single-line extracts, with the search word situated centrally); clusters, and collocation tables. The author will show a series of practical situations in which the use of corpus analytical tools enhance accuracy and improve lexical and phraseological searches. We have concluded that, by using these tools, the interpreter can predict the possible terms and expressions that may come up during the interpretation job, because Corpus Linguistics deals with probability and lexical patterns.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
An interpreter is assumed to bridge the language barriers. Yet, is performance the only criteria paving the way for success for a freelance interpreter? The paper argues that though the freelance interpreter is employed on a short time basis, he/ she is expected to be a team member. In order to gain insight into the role of interpreters, surveys are carried out with the clients regarding their needs, expectations and quality criteria and the roles the clients would like the interpreters to assume. Hence, the main claim of the paper is that though freelance interpreting might look like a free ride by its very definition, it goes without saying that given the future of interpreting and the surging importance of consultants and coaches in business life in various works of business, the interpreter might have to assume the role of the consultant in interpreting.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The power of literature, regardless of genre, arguably lies between the lines. The reader’s literary pleasure is largely that of “discovering” meaning(s) in a work that go beyond mere paraphrase, of “completing” implied patterns and thus creating an individual, unique experience of the work. This great pleasure also poses one of literary translation’s greatest and abiding challenges. I am proposing a presentation to introduce a new perspective on what Benjamin called the unsayable in language; this perspective is a synthesis of insights into perception and thinking from neuroscience and a revaluation of Romanticism’s philosophy of language. On this basis and using German nonfiction prose excerpts as examples, I will discuss viable approaches and considerations for making our literary translations faithful to both the text and its openness, the spaces between its lines.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
In recent years, the fundamental significance of emotions for human functioning has been increasingly acknowledged by psychological research. Emotions are seen as multicomponential processes, elicited by evaluations of an event or a situation, and with a strong impact on subjective feeling, physiology, motor expression, cognitive processes and behavior. Research on translation has to date, however, scarcely considered their importance. To address this gap, we conducted a study in which we investigated the influence of emotional reactions to texts and to performance feedback on translators’ decision-making. Results suggest that emotions can impact on key performance indicators in translation, like accuracy and creativity, and they give rise to a number of questions concerning the role of emotions in translation performance, the importance of emotional competences for translators and the implications of this human phenomenon for the potential of machine translation.

This study will attempt to outline the so-called fansubbing phenomenon in Audiovisual Translation and compare and analyze examples from institutionalized subtitles (authorized translations on cable TV stations by professional translators) and fansubbed versions (fan-produced amateur translations) of the popular American sitcom 30 Rock.
Upon examination, we can see that this new form of Internet subtitling by amateur translators employs more creative and individualistic strategies of translation than conventional translations done by professionals. These diverse translation techniques prove that fansubbing is a translation process in which established standards and conventions can be challenged. There are implications for the emergence of a new flourishing sector of cultural production and knowledge sharing based on the New Media Internet-based environment, and the forming of new cultural sensibilities and new cultural tastes in Korea.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Working conditions in the subtitling industry have changed drastically since the turn of the century. The advent of DVD, accessibility legislation, the proliferation of satellite channels, and the exponential growth of online audiovisual content have resulted in ever-increasing volumes of work. Meanwhile, the budgetary environment of end client industries and the global financial crisis have created unprecedented price pressure. Subtitling companies and subtitlers alike have been forced to find better ways of producing more high-quality work in cost-effective ways.
 
Other developments, such as globalization, centralization and outsourcing have caused significant changes in the subtitling landscape. The application of language technologies in subtitling will bring with it a wave of further changes for the subtitler. The presentation will take a diachronic view of the development of the subtitler's role in context and make some tentative predictions about the future.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Societal issues and linguistic realities necessitate that language service should play a significant role. In addressing this matter this paper builds on Lesch (2010) for an explorative investigation of the interpreting service. The extent of the interpreting service, the utilisation thereof and attitudes towards the service is being investigated. The empirical component of the study involves interviews and open-ended discussions with language practitioners, interpreters and users of the service. In addition questionnaires were used for interpreters to give feedback on their training, working conditions and other relevant information. This feeds into an attempt to ascertain the standard of interpreting services in the legislature by considering the ever-elusive concept of quality in interpreting. The paper focuses on the reality of the interpreting service within the context of the highest provincial state organ.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Legal translation is an under-researched area in South Africa. Recent developments in South Africa, tha is government's obligation to publish legislation in the official languages other than English, have far-reaching implications the training of legal translators. Legal translation deviates substantially from general translation in that it is subject to heavy semiotic restrictions on all levels and legal considerations are of overriding importance. This kind of translational activity requires specialised knowledge and skill. This presentation investigates the core competencies and skills of the legal translator, specifically focusing on the balance between legal competence vis-à-vis translation or linguistic competence. It is improbable that the required competencies will be combined in a single professional translator. It thus follows that sufficient resources should be made available to train competent legal translators in South Africa in all official languages.

Verbal humor, as an essential component of people’s life, has its own charm and special pragmatic effects. In recent years, research on its translation has captured more and more attention from scholars. Nevertheless, there are few researches on its translation in Chinese comic sketches. This paper, based on the previous research on verbal humor and functionalist approach, attempts to discuss the translation strategies of verbal humor in Chinese comic sketches by taking Zhao Benshan’s famous comic sketch Got the Money Anyway as a case analysis. It hopes to provide a new perspective for the translation of verbal humor in Chinese comic sketches, thus endeavors to finally reach the conclusion that functionalist approach is adequate and feasible in guiding the translation of verbal humor in Chinese comic sketches and the corresponding translation strategies are literal translation, annotation and free translation.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
This paper focuses on the use of glossaries in literary translations. A gloss is descriptive information added to a target text to explain a source text item. It is located either before or after the translated text in the form of paratext so that it does not interrupt the flow of the reading. The words glossed are those where there are referential gaps (also known as cultural or environmental voids) between languages. These lexical items are mostly transferred directly from the ST to the TT. If these terms are translated the same information might be conveyed, but an inaccurate message or image is conjured up by the translator, e.g. the translation of the term sangoma as wizard or biltong as meat. In translation studies there are no prescriptions on uniformity in what information needs to be included in or on what format the glossary should take. Every translator goes about this in his/her own way. Based on existing glossaries guidelines are given on how a glossary could serve readers

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Gegenstand des Beitrags ist die Klärung der Frage, welches Gewicht in Buchrezensionen der Leistung des Übersetzers zukommt. Als Untersuchungsmaterial dienen Rezensionen belletristischer Werke, die aus dem Deutschen ins Finnische übersetzt worden sind. Es werden sowohl Erst- als auch Neuübersetzungen berücksichtigt. Die Kinder- und Jugendliteratur wird von der Untersuchung ausgeklammert. Die Rezensionen werden daraufhin untersucht, ob und wie die Natur des Werkes als Übersetzung einbezogen wird. Als Ausgangsbasis hierzu dient die in sieben Kategorien unterteilte Klassifizierung von Gullin (1998). Anhand des Materials wird ermittelt, welche Rolle der Zeitpunkt des Erscheinens der Übersetzung beziehungsweise der Rezension spielt, ob das Evaluieren der Übersetzungen heutzutage tiefgründiger ist als früher und ob sich die Kritiken der Erst- und der Neuübersetzungen voneinander unterscheiden.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Als letzte Bastionen der Humanübersetzung gilt das belletristische Übersetzen. Einen seltenen Sonderfall stellt die literarische Selbstübersetzung dar, die wiederum mit einer Arbeitsweise verwandt ist, bei der das Schaffen eines Literatur-Übersetzers durch den Autor begleitet wird. Selbiges setzt vom Autor die Kenntnis der Zielsprache und einen Begriff vom (literarischen) Übersetzen voraus.
Im Jahr 2011 erschien von mir im Berliner Ullstein-Verlag der autobiografisch gefärbte humoristische Roman „Die spinnen, die Finnen. Mein Leben im hohen Norden“, der 2013 unter dem Titel „Täällä pohjoisnavan alla“ in finnischer Übersetzung herauskam. Die Übersetzung besorgte eine erfahrene Literaturübersetzerin, deren Arbeiten ich begleiten durfte. Mithilfe kurzer Textvergleiche gehe ich auf Selbstbeobachtungen und Erfahrungen ein, die ein seltenes Phänomen der Übersetzungspraxis sowie einen seltenen Gegenstand der Forschung aus Sicht eines betroffenen Autors beleuchtet.

The need for practice-oriented training & the certification of skills for terminology managers remains undiminished as is shown by the success of job-focussed trainings like the Terminology Summer School (TSS)and the European Certification and Qualification Association (ECQA. Both aim to complement the growing number University Degrees world-wide for terminology-related professions. Terminologists today did not always have proper university training before accepting the job. They are "accidental terminologists". And they have a very real and special need for hands-on training. In this workshop we explore what type of training suits whom, what benefits the various trainings bring to both market and industry and to the professional. We look into what is on offer and what is needed in future. The workshop is for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and obtain recognized certificatesn or Degrees.It is also for training institutes who offer trainings or plan to do so.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
In 2005, the speaker received several descriptions of university courses to translate, which boiled down to a list of topics and laws of mathematics and physics: not many complex sentences, but a great deal of terminology which needed translating with the utmost care.
He found himself repeatedly copying terms to his PC clipboard, opening his browser, opening the most appropriate websites, pasting terms into search boxes, setting search parameters, clicking search buttons, analysing results, copying the best solutions back to the clipboard, returning to his translation environment and pasting the translated terms into the text.
He quickly realized he needed to find a way to semi-automate the process and started looking for a tool, but found nothing similar to what he needed. He therefore set about writing a macro, which gradually grew until it became a fully fledged software tool.
The workshop is aimed at translators, interpreters, lexicographers and terminologists in all fields.

Die Zielgruppe war immer international und ein klar definiertes Wording unbedingte Voraussetzung. Als Geschäftsführer einer Firma für Technische Dokumentation habe ich deshalb auf die Erarbeitung und Einhaltung einer konsistenten Terminologie in der Dokumentationserstellung besonders großen Wert gelegt. Zunächst für unsere Kunden, aufgrund der überaus positiven Resonanzen bald jedoch für jedermann, haben wir das Terminologiemanagement-System „flashterm“ entwickelt.

The social networking world is a true jungle and the wide range of offerings available can be overwhelming: as a translator, which networks should I use? Which ones are useless? What do I need? What can I realistically expect from each network and which networks can help me reach my objectives and/or respond to my needs? Many colleagues have decided – arbitrarily I shall add – that social networking andsocial marketing are “a waste of time”, “useless and stupid”, “for desperate amateurs” and the like (and are writing so very loudly in groups hosted on said social sites, by the way).Objectives: breaking prejudices, providing delegates with concrete and translation profession-oriented information and giving a neutral yet thought-provocative overview of the main social sites - which ones don’t make sense, which ones do, why, how, what.
This presentation is for both industry newcomers as well as seasoned translators feeling lost in the wide Internet marketing jungle.

Au fil du temps, la révision s’est imposée comme une étape indispensable du processus de traduction. Certaines normes à visée internationale, comme l’EN15038 (européenne) ou l’ASTM F 2575-06 (américaine), en ont fait une exigence requise pour la prestation de services de traduction de qualité.

À mesure de l’évolution des technologies nouvelles et compte tenu des nécessités économiques, la révision acquerra une part de plus en plus importante dans le volume de travail des linguistes. D’ailleurs, les grandes organisations internationales font de plus en plus appel à des traducteurs-réviseurs.

Cette intervention propose de définir le travail d’un réviseur, de partager les bonnes pratiques en matière de révision et de faire le point sur les technologies d’aide à la révision.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Starting with highlighting the differences between post-editing and translation, we will proceed to describe the distinction between statistical and rule-based machine translation systems and the consequences resulting from this distinction for the post-editing process. All this will be exemplified by real-world examples.
Next we will establish pragmatic workarounds to overcome systematic or frequent errors and best-practices for post-editing. Finally, we will establish why it does not make any sense to separate translation, post-editing, running the machine translation engine, and coding or training the engine. We will create requirements for a successful integration of machine translation into the translation process.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Machine Translation has taken a considerable leap forward in the past decade or so. Established translators, especially those working in the field of IT and localisation, are more frequently being asked to take on the task of post-editing. Despite the advances in MT development, language service providers are struggling to find translators who will readily take on the task of post-editing. There are many reasons for this, including the limitations of data-driven MT systems, pricing expectations, and lack of training. We cannot address all of these issues in one presentation, but propose to focus on the development of intelligent user interfaces for post-editing. We will report on usability-focused research carried out at the Centre for Next Generation Localisation, Dublin City University, which combines data from surveys, focused interviews, and observations of translators at work in order to derive specifications for more supportive user interfaces for the post-editing of MT output.

Imagine a project brief: 5,100 texts; 73 million words; est. duration 2-300 years; team of 870; term standardisation needed. And: it’s the 7th century CE.
Inconceivable? In fact this describes the translation of Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures into Tibetan, praised by historians as a masterpiece of teamwork, terminology and consistency.
With under 10% of the canon in modern languages, how can we match that achievement? At Esukhia we hope our linguistic technology can help recreate the epic teamwork of lotsawa (translators) and pandita (scholars):
Bridge—enhanced translation environment prioritising collaboration between source and target native speakers
Learn—teaching spoken Tibetan to translators; enables cooperation instead of treating Tibetan as a ‘dead’ classical language
Reader—tagging the Tibetan literary corpus (content and metadata); translation-source syncing; enables term search by definition/explanation/debate and filtering by topic, source, date etc.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Oft beklagen Übersetzer die zuweilen einsame Arbeit vor dem Bildschirm. Aber, lässt sich ein so hochkomplexer Prozess wie Übersetzen überhaupt aufteilen? Und wenn ja, wie organisiert man das? Ist es hilfreich, wenn man ähnliche Strategien entwickelt hat oder lassen sich auch unterschiedliche Stile vereinbaren? Und ist das auch wirtschaftlich?
Barbara Neeb und Katharina Schmidt berichten aus ihrer langjährigen Erfahrung als Übersetzer-Team in Belletristik, Kinder- und Jugendbuch für Verlage wie Fischer, Goldmann, Lübbe und Ullstein. Nachdem klar war, dass es für ein gelungenes Endprodukt vor allem hilfreich ist, wenn man konstruktive Kritik vom anderen akzeptieren kann, haben wir gelernt, uns die Aufgaben effektiv aufzuteilen. Auch für Verlage ist ein Übersetzerteam ein Gewinn, eine Erkenntnis, die sich auch bei ihnen immer mehr durchsetzt, denn vier Augen sehen mehr als zwei. Und finden gemeinsam zu kreativen Lösungen.

Die Verbreitung der modernen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien, vor allem des Internets, hat neue Wege der Informationsbeschaffung eröffnet, die beim Übersetzen von Daten aller Art in vielfältiger Weise bereits eingeschlagen werden. Im Vortrag geht es um das effiziente und zielgerichtete „Befahren“ des juristischen Pfades, auf dem zahlreiche Informationen zu finden sind. Nach einer knappen Einführung in die allgemeine translatorische Recherche wird zunächst auf die Grundlagen der Informationssuche im Recht eingegangen. Im Anschluss daran wird eine übersetzungsspezifische Klassifizierung der online verfügbaren juristischen Informationsquellen präsentiert. Das Hauptaugenmerk der Darstellung liegt dabei auf damit verknüpfte Recherchestrategien, die am Beispiel der Rechtsübersetzung im Sprachenpaar Spanisch-Deutsch aufgezeigt werden.

What words keep diplomatic translators up at night? The Chief of the State Department's Translating Division offers an insider perspective into some of the "loaded" words encountered in international diplomacy. How do diplomatic translators resolve disagreements over equivalents across languages? How do they work at international conferences? What resources might they consult? Why are verb tenses so tricky in treaty texts? These and other questions will be explored in a presentation that promises to be lively and interactive.

The State Department's Office of Language Services is home to the Translating Division, and carries on a tradition of diplomatic translation dating back to 1781; the Division currently supports nearly 150 language combinations.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Thematischer Ausgangspunkt für die bevorstehenden 90 Minuten ist ein an der Universität Leipzig laufendes Forschungsvorhaben, in dem geklärt werden soll, wie bereits im Stadium der Internationalisierung von Software Entscheidungen getroffen werden, die auf die Lokalisierbarkeit von Texten der Textsorte "grafische Benutzeroberfläche" Einfluss haben.
Dabei stellte sich heraus, dass nicht nur der Organisation von Logik und Präsentation einer Software über die Lokalisierbarkeit des Ausgangstextes entscheidet, sondern auch das Selbstkonzept des Translators. Damit öffnete sich unerwartet ein neuer Teilaspekt, der Gegenstand der heutigen Gesprächsrunde sein soll.
Als Ausgangsthese wird festgestellt, dass "traditionell" ausgebildete Translatoren Kompetenzen mitbringen, die in der Lokalisierung von Bildschirmmedien in weitaus geringerem Maße abgerufen werden als beim Umgang mit traditionellen bzw. analogen Medien. Für viele "große" Themen der Translatologie sind die Texte in der Textsorte GUI zu simpel. Gleichzeitig fehlen traditionell ausgebildeten Translatoren oft die für die Arbeit mit modernen Medien erforderlichen formalsprachlichen Qualifikationen. Übersetzer sind in diesem Sinne unterfordert und überfordert zugleich. Auch wenn den Translatoren in der mathematisch-informatischen Welt oft Bewunderung gezollt wird, so sind sie aus dem Blickwinkel des Softwareproduktions-Prozesses dennoch Laien bzw. Hilfskräfte und aus Qualifikationssicht gegenüber der Crowd durchaus austauschbar, in wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht dieser sogar unterlegen.
Will man davon ausgehen, dass der Anteil digitaler Medien stetig wachsen wird, so verbindet sich mit einer solchen Feststellung unmittelbar die Frage nach des Quo-Vadis des professionellen Übersetzens.
Da diesem Thema ganz sicher noch einiges an konträrer Diskussion bevorsteht, wurde für diese Veranstaltung die Form eines Gesprächs gewählt, an dem auch Sie als aktive Zuhörer eingebunden werden sollen.

Der Prozess der Software-Internationalisierung und -Lokalisierung basiert auf einem Konzept, welches erstmals in den späten 1960er Jahren diskutiert und seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre plattformübergreifend praktiziert wird. Ein kanonisiertes Berufsbild eines Softwarelokalisierers existiert bis heute dennoch nicht, weil es keinen Beruf gibt, der sich in die etablierten Lokalisierungsprozesse organisch einfügen könnte. Speziell traditionell ausgebildete Übersetzer bieten Qualifikationen, die in diesen Prozessen nicht vorgesehen sind, lassen aber gleichzeitig erforderliche Qualifikationen vermissen. Hat das Übersetzen in der Softwarelokalisierung eine Zukunft?

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Serbia is considered developing country and has recently become attractive market for various information technology companies. Foreign concerns are starting to play a growing role in the Serbian economy while information technology firms are entering Serbian market. It has never been easy to find a good technical translator with perfect knowledge of Serbian language and impeccable research skills. Serbian language has not been able to keep pace with modern technology, so there are problems with translation of IT terminology. The speaker will discuss practical research and translation techniques based on her experience with highly complex technical English to Serbian translation. How do you translate the name of something from a technical field with which you are unfamiliar? How do you cope with a technical term that does not have translation equivalent? Which of several translations should you select for a particular project? All examples in Serbian will be explained in English.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Gutachten bei Fremdsprachenberufen - klingt nach Beckmesserei, Kommafuchserei, Streit unter Linguisten … die Praxis ist aber anders. Kunden fordern Leistung auf juristischem Weg ein und Übersetzer wehren sich gegen überzogene Forderungen. Ein Richter ist mit den Besonderheiten unseres Berufs kaum vertraut und braucht den Gutachter. Dieser kann eine verfahrene Situation klären, Details hervorheben und eine klare Antwort auf die gestellten Fragen finden, zum Beispiel: Das Einkommen einer Diplomübersetzerin in den letzten 20 Jahren? Kann der Kunde diese Zusatzleistung fordern? Agentur - Subunternehmer - Übersetzer - wer haftet wofür? Ist die Übersetzung für ihren Zweck brauchbar?
Die weitreichende Palette der Fragen erfordert eine gründliche Einarbeitung und Schulung der als Gutachter Tätigen. Aber auch hier gibt es einen Wermutstropfen: Die Tätigkeit dieser Gutachters ist kein eigener Beruf sondern eine zusätzliche Qualifikation.

Durch die integrierten Lokalisierungsfunktionen ist Transit NXT eine gemeinsame Plattform für Software-Lokalisierung und -Dokumentation. Das sichert die Konsistenz und schafft Zeitvorteile: Translation Memory (TM) und Terminologie werden verlustfrei und formatübergreifend ohne Umwege verwendet.
Ich zeige, wie Sie binäre Ressourcen mit Transit extrahieren und übersetzen können. Der integrierte Ressourcen-Editor unterstützt Sie bei der Anpassung von Größe und Position der Dialog-Elemente („Resizing“). Mit speziellen Funktionen vergeben und prüfen Sie Zugriffstasten. Für alle Lokalisierungsformate – z. B. auch XML-Daten oder proprietäre Textdateien – können die Standard-Prüfroutinen von Transit eingesetzt werden, um die Qualität sicherzustellen (z.B. Längenprüfung, Rechtschreib- und Terminologieprüfung, Prüfung von Zahlenformaten und nicht zugelassene Benennungen). Das resultierende TM wird direkt für die Übersetzung der Software-Dokumentation eingesetzt.

According to the functional approach of Translation Studies, Translation is a purpose-driven interaction. Translating children’s stories is no exception. Using the personal experience of translating for American readers Mr. Wolf’s Hotline, a book comprising 47 Chinese children’s stories written by a contemporary Chinese writer, in light of Skopos theory and text-type theory, the author has outlined the strategies and methods adopted in translating the stories in terms of language, structure and culture. In order to achieve a more successful reception of these stories by American readers, the translator has made use of onomatopoeia words, interjections, direct quotations and metaphors, and also changed the structures of the stories, say, by adding some questions to arouse the suspense and let readers have more time to think about what’s written and what’s going to happen. And the text-type theory has played a key role in dealing with the abundant nursery rhymes in the book.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The main aim of this workshop is to bring together different stakeholders of the translation market: jobseekers, employers and institutes providing training for translators. What are the expectations and requirements of the different players and how can we satisfy them?
The workshop has as a starting point the competences that the European Master of Translation (EMT) expert group has identified as necessary for professional translators. The translator competence profile drawn up by the expert group details the competences translators need in order to work successfully in today's market. More and more universities use it as a model for designing their programmes.
In a panel discussion which will be chaired by the Directorate-General for Translation of the European Commission, we would like to discuss the following questions: Are these competences what the market really needs? What is lacking? How can we overcome potential skills gaps and mismatches?

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
In meiner Arbeit als Trainer sowie in Foren und Mailinglisten, in denen ich aktiv bin, steht das Thema der Datenorganisation immer hoch im Kurs.
Was auf den ersten Blick trivial aussieht, kann in täglicher zu großen Schwierigkeiten führen.
Oft zeigt sich, dass wir zwar unsere Daten in organisierter Weise abspeichern, aber der Einsatz neuer Tools diese Organisation auf dem Kopf stellt und wir vor der Herausforderung stehen, die Struktur anzupassen. Häufig sehe ich aber dann eine ablehnende Haltung dem Tool gegenüber, weil die eigene Struktur nicht flexibel genug ist.
Über mögliche Strategien möchte ich gerne während des Workshops mit praktischen Beispielen sprechen.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Stress affects linguists in many ways. Our lifestyle (sitting at the computer for long hours, using a desk/chair that has not been ergonomically designed specifically for you; working in less-than-perfect interpreting booths, driving long distances to assignments) has consequences such as stiff neck and back, decreased flexibility and range of movement, carpal tunnel syndrome, a slow metabolism, unwanted weight gain. All these conditions can be improved with the yoga techniques presented in this interactive workshop.
The presentation includes elements of anatomy and physiology of respiratory system, the spine, the nervous system, bio-mechanics and tensegrity to illustrate the processes taking place in the body during the exercises.
Linguists will feel the positive effects of these exercises immediately, and, with regular practice, they will enjoy the long-term benefits of the chosen yoga techniques for their physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
While wondering why the flow of work had suddenly stopped during an unusually slack period, the speaker hit on a way of finding out if his clients had been shopping around for other language service providers without actually asking them the rather embarrassing question straight out: with the declared aim of offering services more in line with his clients' requirements, he sent out a satisfaction questionnaire.
The research he did in order to understand the philosophy behind this kind of survey and choose the right questions to ask gave him a totally new perspective on how his clients perceive the quality of the services he offers.
The speaker discusses the kinds of questions typically asked and how appropriate they are to the translation industry. He then illustrates the purpose of each of the questions he actually chose, the answers received and the conclusions he draws.
The workshop is aimed at freelance translators who mainly work with end clients (or intend to do so in future).

The annual training program for certified sign language interpreters in Japan in 2013, commissioned by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, focused on legal interpreting. One of the training sessions was conducted as a mock trial. The authors, a linguist and a lawyer, planned the contents of the mock trial and served as lecturers in the session. Based on data derived from the mock trial, our presentation will examine several legal concepts whose meaning and intention are difficult to convey through sign language, such as “the right to be silent” and “charged facts.” In particular, we will discuss the strategies interpreters use to convey meanings of legal terms as well as the best approach to handle such concepts in legal proceedings with sign language interpreting. The main focus of our discussion will be on the ways through which lawyers can be most effectively involved in efforts to enhance the understanding of hearing-impaired participants in trials.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The ever-growing mobility of EU citizens and the recent implementation of Directive 2010/64/EU on the Right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings will significantly increase the need for legal translation. However, little initiative has been taken to tackle this problem on a large scale as former/current EU projects mainly focus on legal interpreting. The QUALETRA project aims at filling this gap by contributing towards achieving common minimum standards of procedural rights in criminal proceedings, ensuring that the basic rights of other language suspected/accused persons are protected sufficiently through legal translation of essential documents in national proceedings and European Arrest Warrants. This will be achieved by training legal translators and practitioners involved in cross-border cooperation and by providing translation templates and terminology management tools in order to achieve quality in legal translation of these documents.

- litprom: Die Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Literatur aus Afrika, Asien & Lateinamerika, hat, seit Gründung 1985 in Frankfurt/M., die Übersetzung v. rd. 700 Büchern – auch verfolgter Autoren – gefördert.

- ICORN: Das Int'l. Netzwerk der Städte der Zuflucht, Stavanger, bietet verfolgten Autoren Raum, unbehelligt zu schreiben.

2. Literarische Beispiele aus Ruanda, Haiti, Afghanistan, Irak, Iran u.a.

3. Ausblick:

„Wie gern würden wir unpolitisch schreiben“, sagt zB die iranische Lyrikerin Pegah Ahmadi. Bis es soweit ist, dass man sich der Wahrung der Menschenrechte nicht mehr ver-schreiben muss, bleibt noch viel zu tun.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
This paper will attempt to draw on one of the important subtexts of the congress theme, i.e. the role of (‘man’) human agency vis-a-viz that of technology. Its aim is to explore the notion of translator agency in South Africa with reference to its potential activist and developmental role. Studies on translation in post-colonial contexts have resulted in a ‘reconceptualization’ of translation, both theoretically and practically. There is now new emphasis on translation as a socially regulated activity with a focus on issues of agency and the relation of translation to dominance and cultural assertion and resistance (Tymoczko 2007). The central premise of this paper is that translation does not merely bridge linguistic barriers, but is also a transformative activity. A case in point is the role that translators played in transforming the image of the Afrikaans vernacular in South Africa and ensuring the linguistic human rights of its speakers.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Translation and interpreting for public services do not seem to attract much attention in Russian society. Russia as an immigration country is not yet fully aware of the needs caused by flows of people arriving from former Soviet Republics, thus speaking other languages and presenting different cultures. Though translation and interpreting for migrants have always existed, there are no institutions in Saint-Petersburg and, Russia at large, that offer PSI as part of their curriculum. The job of a PS interpreter was regarded as a low-status one and was done by unqualified people. Russia, as opposed to some other countries, does not have a court interpreter certification. Under current law a court interpreter may be any person aged 18, who can confirm the language competence in a foreign language. PSI training in Russia is crucially important but is still a goal to be achieved.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Article 18 of Declaration of Human Rights indicates the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. Researchers in the realm of religion should consider possibility of misunderstanding religious beliefs, and hence violation of human rights through falsifying ideas with religious value in case one interprets the ideas on someone else's behalf. While the clash of civilizations has turned into the clash of religions since 9/11, many efforts to make a peaceful environment of dialogue among civilizations, as well as religions, have been considered as useless. First suggestion to prevent misunderstandings in this matter is to empower interpreters in technical terms, both in source and target languages – or faiths. On the other hand, the interpreters do not need verbal equivalents, but rather conceptual ones. Finally, they should not hold prejudice or defend one party as translators; a personality which enhances tolerance.

Bei dem Dolmetschen für Gerichten und Behörden ist es in erster Linie erforderlich, dass die Angelegenheit möglichst getreu gedolmetscht wird und somit die rechtliche Seite erfüllt wird. Dabei wird der Dolmetscher / die Dolmetscherin oft nur als SprachmittlerIn gesehen, selten aber als KulturmittlerIn.
Der Vortrag untersucht die Möglichkeiten einer veränderten Stellung und Auffassung des Dolmetschens der verschiedenen Kulturen, nicht nur zwei Sprachen, aus rechtlicher, sprachwissenschaftlicher und ethischer Sicht. Gefragt wird gleichzeitig auch nach den umsetzbaren Lösungen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auch an der Weiterbildung sowie Vertiefung des Qualitäts des Dolmetschens im Zeitalter der Wanderungen.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The presentation describes the formal requirements provided by law relating to candidates for admission to practise the profession of sworn translator in Poland as compared with their necessity to be familiar in practice with many specialist domains of law, technology, medicine, and science.
The legal status of Polish sworn translators, meaning both court interpreters and official translators, is determined in Poland by basic legal instruments such as the Sworn Translator's Profession Act and Minister of Justice Regulations passed by virtue of that Act, as well as by around one hundred other legal instruments describng their role in many different fields of life.
In conclusion the author proves that the requirements relating to candidates and condition provided by law for sworn translators underestimate the knowlegde and skills indispensible to practise this profession.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Mit ca. 250 autochthonen Sprachen wird die alltägliche Kommunikation im afrikanischen Kamerun zur Herausforderung. Obwohl das Community Interpreting (CI) daher stark verbreitet ist, ist über die Tätigkeit der als Dolmetscher agierenden Personen kaum etwas bekannt.
Um diese Lücke zu schließen, führte die Autorin 2009 eine Studie über Situationen des CI in Gesundheitseinrichtungen und NGOs in Kamerun durch.
Die Auswertung der Interviews zeigte, dass meist Laien als Dolmetscher tätig sind, was unter anderem an den zu hohen Kosten für Ausbildung und Honorare professioneller Dolmetscher liegt. Die ASTI stellt jedoch den optimalen Standort dar, um durch eine kosteneffiziente Ad-hoc-Sensibilisierung der lokalen CI-Akteure eine Veränderung zu bewirken.
Im Vortrag wird die Entwicklung und 2013 stattfindende Erprobung eines innovativen CI-Curriculums dargestellt, das als Pilotversuch für eine Kooperation zwischen europäischen und afrikanischen Ausbildungsinstitutionen dienen soll.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
It does not matter where the war happened, who the opposing forces were, or what justifications were given. After the dust settles, after the dead are removed, the world seeks justice, but not at the cost of retraumatizing the innocent and not at the cost of the rule of law. Linguistic presence of both the victims as they tell their story and alleged war criminals as they face trial must be guaranteed

Interpretation and translation are critical to the pursuit of Justice for war crimes. Victims statements if poorly taken in the field or badly translated may hinder the investigation and prosecution of perpetrators. Disputes over field statements or courtroom interpretation can undermine the credibility of otherwise truthful witnesses. Interpretation and translation and the forces they set in motion shape international justice, influence jurisprudence, provide strategies for trial counsel and most importantly inform the Judgements and decisions made over war crime.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The Great East Japan Earthquake directly affected at least one-million foreign nationals, including official residents of Japan, humanitarian responders, and US military. This paper outlines the ways in which translation and interpreting helped some of these people to access information in the crisis.
The work is based on face-to-face, semi-structured interviews of foreign nationals who experienced the 2011 earthquake. It focuses on the varied ways in which translation and interpreting mitigated linguistic and cultural barriers for these interviewees.
Findings indicate that, while machine-based translation solutions showed some promise, it was direct, human mediation, especially community and broadcast interpreting, that was vital in this crisis.
Data presented here should help to inform policy on disaster preparedness and response in Japan. Furthermore, findings should be of interest to those developing multilingual and multicultural disaster communication tools and protocols.

Despite widespread consensus on the importance of two-way communication in crisis response, little attention has been given to ensuring that such exchanges occur in the correct languages. The majority of international aid non-profits communicate in major world languages; however, the affected populations often do not speak these languages. Words of Relief, a new initiative of Translators without Borders (TWB), aims to eliminate language barriers that can impede vital response during and after a crisis. It is the first concerted effort to build a global translation network deployable wherever crisis strikes. The network combines critical elements: translation by trained translators of crisis messages (into 15 languages), real-time translation during a crisis, crowdsourcing with diaspora who can support the effort, and training of 15 machine translation engines in crisis terminology. Translators without Borders has taken on the challenge and would like to present on the progress at FIT.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Japan has faced increase of crimes by foreign nationals and the division of labor among them has been formed based on language/cultural barriers. The organized groups of vehicles robbery, for example, have several layers of labor; i.e. Brazilians for robbery, Africans for disassembling vehicles and people from Middle East or Japanese groups for exporting stolen items. This division of labor has been formed due to language access and barrier, in particular access to English. It means that Brazilians usually do not speak English or Japanese and they are used just to steal vehicles, as they do not have to speak anything. Africans are hired to disassemble stolen vehicles and some of they need to speak English or Japanese because they have to communicate or negotiate with exporters. I would like to focus on how they form division labor based on acquired language for organized crimes and how we contribute to crime investigation as legal interpreters.

Dedicated tools have empowered heart surgeons, helping them to improve accuracy. In other professions, they replaced craftsmen with less skilled workers, turned them into machine operators, or wiped out the whole profession altogether.


When computers come to the aid of humans to tackle the language barrier, all these scenarios are possible. This session aims to explore them from a freelance translator’s point of view. Through real-life examples, we will identify factors that determine the color of the translator's collar: gold, white, pink, or blue. The separation of professional skills from the ownership of linguistic data will be central to our discussion.

La conférence comportera trois volets. D’abord, nous présenterons brièvement le système professionnel québécois qui régit l’octroi des titres de traducteur, terminologue et interprètes agréés et assure la protection du public qui fait affaire avec ces professionnels. Ensuite, nous ferons un tour d’horizon des divers regroupements de langagiers coexistant au Québec, notamment l’Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec (OTTIAQ) et l’Association des travailleurs autonomes et micro-entreprises en services linguistiques (ATAMESL). Une fois le contexte professionnel bien établi, nous aborderons la question des conditions de pratique des traducteurs au Québec à partir des résultats d’une vaste enquête réalisée au printemps 2013 auprès d’environ 450 langagiers. Cette conférence s’inscrit dans le troisième sous-thème du Congrès, Pratique professionnelle et droits des traducteurs, interprètes et terminologues.

In view of the new Italian legislative framework for unregulated professions, the Italian Translators and Interpreters Association (AITI), with other professional associations, is completing the draft of a technical standard pertaining to translators and interpreters.
The new Italian standard has not been devised to replace previous quality standards that define what a particular service entails: its purpose is instead to describe the knowledge, skills and competence of professionals in accordance with the European recommendations.
The standard will allow users of professional services to choose a translator or interpreter endorsed by a professional association or certified by a Board of Certification. It will also allow certified professionals to demonstrate their competence and qualifications to the market. The paper proposed will illustrate the method used when drawing up the new standard, describing the specialist profiles, their professional skills and the certification method.

EN 15038 has become a household name for the professional translator since it its launch in 2006. Hundreds of translation service providers of all sizes all over the world have had their services certified. With more and more of them based outside Europe the need for an International Standard was pronounced and taken up by ISO Technical Committee 37. In this committee an International Standard is currently being developed and in Draft International Standard phase: ISO/DIS 17100 is called Translation services – requirements for service providers. It takes quality assurance for translation services to the larger, international arena. Finding consensus in an even larger and more heterogeneous group of experts representing interest groups from around the world is fascinating and frustrating at the same time. What will be the impact of ISO 17100 and the global struggle for high Quality Translation Services? And what does that mean for FIT members? We take a look into the future.

Décriée par certains à cause de l'usage qu'en font parfois les donneurs d'ordres (pourcentages de remises, etc.), la traduction assistée par ordinateur (TAO) a été conçue pour faciliter la vie du traducteur, en lui évitant de retraduire les passages répétitifs, et pour améliorer la qualité des textes livrés (qui présentent une meilleure cohérence). Si certains se font fort de ne pas utiliser la TAO, craignant qu'elle ne tire les prix vers le bas, elle représente néanmoins un outil précieux qui permet au traducteur de se concentrer sur la création de valeur ajoutée, laissant à la machine l'automatisme et les récurrences, et à l'homme la créativité et l'interprétation active du texte source.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
In this paper, I will present the results of a three-month, comprehensive ethnographic study of three medium-sized translation firms and services located in Canada. I will focus on the use of technology (mostly translation memory software), translation processes, business and administrative practices, as well as translator satisfaction and translator status. In short, the study reveals that while translators are comfortable using translation technologies and see the benefits that they allow, they are nonetheless uncomfortable with some of the business and administrative practices that have followed translation-memory implementation within their respective translation firms and services. I will look at specific examples of practices that are criticized by translators – i.e. expectations of increased productivity, enforced recycling of previous translation segments – and show how these practices relate to translator satisfaction, professional autonomy and individual recognition.

Juvenile Court proceedings deal with some of society's most fragile participants. An interpreter trained for the rigors of criminal court will encounter situations beyond the parameters of most court interpreter training. What challenges arise? Should more training be provided? How far does the interpreter's privilege under the umbrella of the attorney-client privilege protect her? Should the role of the interpreter in court be flexible to accommodate court proceedings that are not criminal? should the court interpreter be accorded privilege without the presence of an attorney?

Unlike certain commodities traded worldwide at a fixed price, the translation market is being driven by price-slashing agencies, with free-lance translators following suit. The availability of the internet, translation memories and time-saving technology has made it easier for translators from around the world, regardless of their geographic location and economic conditions, to enter the global market, competing largely on offering cheap prices. However, professional translators must be careful to take into consideration several factors when pricing that will keep them competitive and in business, such as the cost of: available technology, ongoing education/training, membership dues, insurance, retirement, marketing, etc. Relying solely on the competitive advantage afforded by the difference in a country´s local economy can rapidly backfire and drive translators out of business, leaving them at a loss for words.

Translators must be invisible, say some: if a translation is any good, readers should forget they’re not reading the original.
Agreed, we are facilitators, working in the wings. True, the translator’s role is to help the author(s) of an original text find a voice in another language. But professional translators who carry this commitment to invisibility over into their business practices do themselves and the profession as a whole a huge disservice: perpetual lurking in the shadows guarantees that they will never get the respect and remuneration they claim they want.
After all, unless clients know translators exist and have some idea of how they work, these same buyers are far more likely to make poor choices the next time they need a translation. And translators themselves are certainly less likely to build up a portfolio of savvy, demanding, well-heeled customers.
This presentation reviews why and how translators can make the effort to be visible.

Much has been written on the pros and cons of police and court interpreting. Relevant works deal mostly with the rights of alien defendants, applicants or respondents as well as the indispensable trained language mediator safeguarding these rights, but give scant attention to the criminal and civil liability of legal translators and interpreters.
Few court-certified language mediators are aware of the consequences of “false” translation or interpreting and that they may not translate certain documents or interpret in certain situations, or that translating or interpreting could mean aiding and abating crime.
Dealing with criminals and unknown foreign nationals can have serious consequences for the certified linguist unaware of criminal and civil legislation affecting their legal status.
Recent real-life cases, which landed oblivious language mediators in legal trouble, illustrate the legal pitfalls awaiting translators or interpreters, followed by advice on how to avoid them.

After two decades of promising results, mainly in statistical machine translation, MT research has reached another plateau. Analysis of the progress reveals that the new plateau is indeed higher than the previous one. But the difference is smaller than it appears. It has become much easier to build new systems, but their quality has not increased that much. In several international projects and networks we have worked out a new research paradigm that we hope will help us to overcome the current deadlock. A central component of this approach is the inclusion of professional translators in all phases of technology research and development. Another one is a qualitative and quantitative investigation of the quality barriers. In two ongoing projects, funded by the EU and the Berlin Technology Foundation we have instantiated the novel approach. By working closely with translation companies we have gained insights in quality barriers that we would love to share with the FIT community.

The work of FIT at global level is complemented and supported by three regional centres, FIT Europe, FIT Latin America and FIT North America (re-established in December 2012), that work individually and together on a wide range of activities at a more local level.
As the oldest of the regional centres, FIT Europe can draw on the experience of a multitude of activities over recent years to provide an introduction to this panel discussion in which members of the FIT Europe Steering Committee offer an insight into the work of FIT at regional level and an overview of the current action plan. Participants will be able to discuss projects, and suggest and examine approaches to enable individual members to benefit to the full from the work of their professional associations within FIT.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
To produce a successful work of literary translation, both the translator and the editor must be competent professionals agreeing on the principles of the work procedure. As the work is published in the translator’s name, it is vital that the translator can check, accept or discard the editor’s comments and corrections.
In Finland, this is often standard procedure. Increasingly, however, translators are facing problems with editorial corrections. There are a number of causes: 1. Free-lance editors are now often employed to edit, while publishers’ editors have to focus on technical matters. 2. With the publishing business speeding up, the translator’s right to check the final text may be overlooked. 3. Bilingual authors writing in another language, usually Swedish, may lack trust in their Finnish translators’ professional expertise. Clashes have arisen between authors and translators defending their rights concerning the texts to be published in their name.

The existence or otherwise of formal CPD (Continuous Professional Development) in the Member States. An examination of what it consists of, who provides it, and of where and when it is provided. In the absence of formal provision of CPD, what (if any) other arrangements exist?
The arguments for and against compulsory CPD - it is compulsory for several other professions in the United Kingdom such as Law, medicine and so on.
Is CPD interchangeable or the same as "experience on the job"?
What are the effects of EU(European Union)Directives such as 15038 - 2006 and 24/10/2010 which both highlight the importance of properly trained and qualified translators and interpreters.
Is the cost of CPD in your Member State prohibitively expensive? If so , can CPD perhaps be exchanged and shared on an international basis?

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
During over 20 years of independence after collapse of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan has been able to develop many fields rapidly. Although, there have been some fields that remained out of attention and stopped developing within this period. Translation is one of these fields. It is somewhat like water resources management sphere in Azerbaijan which was forgotten until the floods in major rivers made themselves clear and inflicted serious damages in early 2010. Although translation is unlikely to inflict serious visible and physical damages, it can inflict serious invisible and non-physical damages. This presentation focuses on these potential damages and what has been done and what needs to be done by AGTA - the only translators association in Azerbaijan, to protect the public value of translation and improve the rights of translators in a developing post-soviet country like Azerbaijan, with support from International Federation of Translators.

This research attempts to investigate the status of translation profession in Malaysia and Korea. The study aims to provide a description of the translation profession based on 5 elements, which are education and training, recognition, code of ethics, quality standards, continuing professional development (CPD). The findings from Korea and Malaysia are presented together for the ease of comparison. Past studies have shown that translation is not considered as a full-fledged profession in many countries. Translators also do not perceive their own job as belonging to a profession, citing various reasons. The research is qualitative in nature and adopts an approach known as hermeneutic phenomenology, where one undertakes a study with an aim to describe a phenomenon and at the same time, interpret the phenomenon and provide an explanation to the phenomenon studied. A survey questionnaire and interview were used as research instruments to elicit data for this study. In this research, respondents in the profession were found to have the necessary qualification to practice but they do not adhere to a quality standard or a code of practice. Respondents from both countries were also found to be indifferent towards engaging in continuing professional development (CPD) activities. When interviewed on the threats to the translation profession, most respondents lamented that they do not receive the recognition from the public and they have to compete with amateur translators. Via the study, the respondents suggested that the profession can be strengthened if translation associations in their countries are given the authority to issue license to practice and to regulate the practice of their members. Hence, it was suggested that government can take a step in enforcing a law which legally recognises the translation profession and only translators who have qualification and license are allowed to practice. Translators also need a paradigm shift where they would have to see themselves as professionals such as lawyers and doctors. Adhering to a code of practice, a quality standard and an effort to engage in CPD activities are paramount in ensuring the professionalism of translators and translation profession can eventually gain the respect of the public.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The relationship between freelancers and translation companies/agencies is often acrimonious. Practitioners feel they are exploited and required to work at less-than-desirable rates. Translation companies feel the practitioners do not appreciate the value they bring to a job or the pressures they are under. The fact remains that institutions and global companies increasingly prefer to deal with translation companies that can provide wide-ranging services rather than individual translators or interpreters. The panel will offer an opportunity for both sides to put their case for why they work the way they do and what they would like the other side to understand. Delegates will be able to ask questions and comment. The aim is to increase mutual understanding and enhance harmonious relationships.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The Professional Standards Committee of the Swedish Association of Professional Translators (SFÖ) is chairing a panel discussion on the topic of secrecy and confidentiality in translation in an increasingly open IT society.
The discussion started at SFÖ’s 2013 conference focussing in part on whether the SFÖ Code of Professional Conduct would be a sufficient guarantee of the confidentiality requested by customers or if the translator should agree to sign additional secrecy documents. The panel also discussed automatic text saving in the so-called ‘cloud’ and secrecy problems in such open machine translation programs as Google Translate.
The results were limited by the 30 minutes allotted. Therefore we plan a 5-person panel of translators, customers, program creators and government representatives. Of the 90 minutes available, 30 would be reserved for audience questions. The 5 panel members would make 8 minute presentations. A moderator would hold the panel on course.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Big data is changing the industry, it is changing economy. How does this affect us as translators? How is this change improving and/or deteriorating our quality of life/work? Does it make us happy? Does it improve productivity? What about user-friendliness? What are the risks and opportunities? What are the challenges? What is compulsory? What is forbidden? How can we know? How can we make informed decisions for ourselves, but also for our clients? How can we, translators, make the best use of big data and other new technologies to boost productivity and create opportunities that work for us in the language industry? Will technology assist us, make us more productive and wealthier? Or will we be left out, merely used as an adjustment factor, helpless and lost in the midst of a process controlled by automated system? Could/shoud there be alternative options? I believe there is still room for a “third way”? Will we be dary enough to try and bridge the gap?

Bei Imagebroschüren und Marketingtexten sind kreative Übersetzungslösungen gefragt. Wenn keine Ideen fließen und der Termindruck steigt, wie kann man Kreativität einladen? In dem Vortrag stellt Jutta Witzel verschiedene Schreib- und Kreativitätstechniken vor, wie Übersetzer kurzfristig zu Lösungen für Textpassagen kommen können, die nicht 1:1 übersetzt werden können. Neue Ideen kommen, indem der Übersetzer eine Distanz zum Text herstellt oder einen Perspektivwechsel vornimmt. Förderlich für Kreativität ist die bewusste Gestaltung der Arbeitsbedingungen.
Edison soll gesagt haben: Genialität besteht zu 1 % Prozent aus Inspiration und zu 99 % aus Transpiration. Es lohnt sich also, Kreativität zu schulen!

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
After a brief introduction of the Committee, the theme of the Congress will be adressed, referring to four main practices. They are hardly "new" but have characterized interpreting at international tribunals since the Nuremburg Trials.
The Committee will present an overview of simultaneous interpreting and its development as applied at European and international courts/tribunals, mentioning the trends in legal rhetoric and their impact on the interpreter's workload - e.g. simultaneous interpreting of prepared written speeches read at speed. Another difficulty is live (or delayed) Internet broadcasting of public hearings including the interpretation. The Panel will also discuss remote interpreting; this technique is increasingly used for witness examination.
The Committee wishes to discuss two aspects: the impact of of these practices on interpreter training, and the influence of these practices at international courts and tribunals on national courts.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
“Writers create national literature,... world literature is written by translators.” The citation comes from José Saramago, the Portuguese novelist, Nobel prize winner, and one of the great writers that recognised the importance of translators' work and their linguistic and intercultural competence. The creation of what we might call “the universal library” is a complicated process, involving authors, translators, editors, critics, booksellers and readers, each with their different interests and skills, in a world where technology becomes more and more refined, and the economic margins narrow. In our workshop, we want to discuss this process, by inviting representatives from the respective fields, making them reflect upon questions such as: What are the criteria when choosing to translate a text? How is the communication between author and translator? Who is the “owner” of the translated text? Has new technology changed any stage of this process?

This workshop will be chaired by 2 persons, Bente Christensen and Elinor Kolstad. We are both former chairs of The Norwegian Association of Literary Translators, and we are both experienced translators, from respectively, French, English and Russian (Kolstad). Christensen has been vice president of the FIT and chair of FIT's copyright committee, and Kolstad has been an active member of FIT's literary committee. We are experienced organisers.

At this point, we are not able to give any abstracts of the presentations, as we are dependent upon the acceptance of this proposal to start involving the speakers in a serious way. We will invite specialists in the field, and these persons cannot be addressed before we are sure to be able to invite them, as they have busy agendas. But we are sure to get solid names, and will invite from 6 to 8 speakers, depending upon their availability.

We have planned a 180 min. programme, which will be exposed in the next box:

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Viele Übersetzer arbeiten bereits selbstverständlich mit Translation-Memory-Systemen und schätzen die Produktivitäts- und Qualitätssteigerung bei der täglichen Arbeit. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist für viele die engere Zusammenarbeit mit dem Auftraggeber. Dieser kann seine Terminologiedatenbank und sein eigenes Translation Memory zur Verfügung stellen und auf Rückfragen schneller reagieren. Das Ergebnis sind bessere Übersetzungen und weniger Korrekturläufe. Die Spezialisierung auf ein einziges System kann andererseits aber auch dazu führen, dass man sich selbst den Zugang zu weiteren Kundengruppen verschließt. Einige Übersetzer sehen zudem im engen Kundenkontakt auch ein Risiko für ihre selbstständige Arbeitsweise. Im Vortrag sollen Chancen und Risiken von Übersetzungstechnologien diskutiert werden. Für einen möglichst breiten Überblick wird sowohl die Perspektive des Übersetzers als auch seines Auftraggebers einbezogen.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
In Turkey the implementation of European Qualifications Framework guidelines for Life Long Learning has been initiated.Based on this system, at the beginning of 2013, the Turkish document “National Standards for Professional Translators and Interpreters” came into effect. With respect to this process that is still in progress, Translation&Interpreting Association - Turkey is actively taking part in such process as one of the main parties and has participated in drafting of such professional standards from the beginning.
Yet; what has to be argued at a deeper level is to what extent the differences and similarities of these two activities (translation and interpreting) can be reflected together in the same set of standards. Another important and related issue is the measurability notion- especially with respect to interpreting. This paper will discuss how and to what extent measurability aspect can function in interpreting within the framework of such professional competencies.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The official availability of a Machine translation (MT) system within some major international organizations raises the question of real usability of these systems for the translation of institutional and legal texts. The strength of MT has traditionally been the ability to process repetitive texts successfully, as in the case of localization of software documentation. Statistical machine translation (SMT) has, however, opened up new horizons, as recently confirmed by the fact that the European Commission in Brussels has recently announced the official entry into service of a machine translation system that can be used by their internal translators and those of other 'guest' institutions on a voluntary basis. A first official analysis report of the system, which was conducted within the IO in 2012, highlighted that the system's reliability varies depending on the language combination and recommended that the SMT remain an optional instrument at the translator's disposal for the time being.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Maschinelle Übersetzung (MÜ) scheint für immer mehr Kunden die Lösung: Textvolumina steigen, Durchlaufzeiten werden kürzer, Sprachversionen nehmen zu, Änderungen bis zur letzten Sekunde. Alles bei gelichbleibendem Qualitätsanspruch und Übersetzungsbudget. Dazu parallele Veröffentlichung mehrerer Sprachversionen. Auf den ersten Blick scheint MÜ zu versprechen, all das leisten zu können – und auch noch für einen Bruchteil bisheriger Kosten. Viele Übersetzer stehen MÜ ambivalent gegenüber: Zum einen sehen sie einen „Jobkiller“, zum anderen eine „Lachnummer“. Die Wirklichkeit: MÜ-Einsatz kann sich für beide Seiten lohnen. Man ist sich aber vorher darüber im Klaren sein, was MÜ zu leisten vermag und was nicht. Des Weiteren muss klar sein, dass MÜ einen (neuen) Übersetzungsprozess voraussetzt, der kontrollierte Sprache, Terminologiemanagement und Post-Editing beinhaltet. Das kann es aber nicht zum Null-Tarif und ohne qualifiziertes Personal geben!

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Recent technological advancement and rapid globalisation have prompted academics and professionals to address the issue of translator education (EMT, etc.), delivering now advanced and innovative education at tertiary level. However, the highest standards of quality and professional relevance also need to be maintained in vocational training. Yet, an EU-wide agreed translator certification and international accreditation body are still missing. This need is currently addressed by the TRANSCERT project, which will provide continuing professional development and a Trans-European certification for translators in order to promote competitiveness, increase employability and ensure sustainability. This will be achieved by developing an ECQA-based training/assessment/examination scheme with common and specific content for all EU countries.
This paper presents TRANSCERT’s latest developments, focusing more particularly on the translator skill card and the assessment scheme.

Everybody seems to use a smartphone or tablet nowadays. However, little is known about what a smartphone can do for freelance translators especially during the holiday season. In this presentation, we will use real-life scenarios freelance translators face and explain and discuss how various apps can be used to turn a smartphone or a tablet into a mobile office that will provide its user with a certain amount of freedom.
Have you ever been sitting in a café and one of your clients sends you some Word documents, requesting a quote within the next 30 minutes? Have you been asked to change a few words in a document or check and accept a few edits proposed by a reviewer while travelling in a train?
These days, all this and a lot more is possible. This presentation will focus on various apps for Android (and iPhone) that might make your life a lot easier and will even allow you to use programs such as Trados 2011/MemoQ or e.g. Finereader running on your desktop PC.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
"Vernetzung" ist zum Zauberwort und Synonym für Zusammenarbeit im globalisierten Zeitalter geworden. Doch der Schein trügt: Durch die bloße digitale Verknüpfung von Kompetenz- und Erfahrungsprofilen entsteht noch lange kein Netz, das diesen Namen wirklich verdient. Und sie macht es freiberuflichen Übersetzern nicht unbedingt leichter, angemessen bezahlte Aufträge zu gewinnen, sich am Markt zu behaupten und Wertschätzung für das Geleistete zu erfahren. Zugleich sorgen Auftragsbörsen unter dem Deckmantel einer "Übersetzer-Community" für eine künstliche Konkurrenzsituation, erheblichen Preisverfall und die zunehmende Verwässerung unseres Profils als professionelle Sprachmittler. In meinem Vortrag beschreibe ich kooperative Zirkel, die sich als Gegenentwürfe zu solchen Pseudonetzen anbieten. Dabei soll auch die Frage erörtert werden, ob und wie sich die beschriebenen Kooperationsmodelle auf die üblichen Rechtsformen für freiberufliche Tätigkeiten abbilden lassen.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Aktuell sind auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene verstärkt Bestrebungen zur Entwicklung von Normen für unterschiedliche Bereiche des Dolmetschens als professionelle Dienstleistung zu beobachten. Die Folgen der Globalisierung, sich verändernde wirtschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen, aber auch signifikante gesellschaftliche Veränderungen scheinen den Bedarf an einer anwenderorientierten Definition von Vorgaben für eine vordergründig nur wenig transparente, aber aufgrund ihrer politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Dimension besonders relevante Sprachdienstleistung steigen zu lassen.
Auf der Basis praktischer Mitarbeit in nationalen und internationalen Normungsgremien, aktueller Tendenzen auf dem Markt für Dolmetscherdienstleistungen sowie relevanter Erkenntnisse aus Forschung und Lehre, sollen der aktuelle Stand der Normungsaktivitäten vorgestellt sowie Bedarf, Potenzial und Grenzen der Normung beleuchtet werden.

The first part will cover the role of standards in the working environment. It will outline how they can be used as a tool for quality assurance and how translators can implement them without endangering delivery dates. It will also cover recent developments in standardization. The aim of this part is twofold: On the one hand it will give an overview about recent developments and on the other hand it tries to answer questions of importance to translators.
The second part will give an overview of the experience obtained in applying the European standard EN 15038 “Translation Services – Service Requirements” and will compare this standard with the new ISO standard “Translation Services -- Requirements for translation services”. Also, a brief presentation of the draft ISO standard on post-editing ISO 18587 will be given.
Certification, particularly of freelance translators, will be a major issue to be discussed. In this context, the EU project TransCert, will be presented.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Diplomatic language translation represents one of the most complicated translation types in terms of the human’s external activities. It not only has strong political sensitivity, but also is highly imbued with such new features as the dynamics, timeliness and comprehensiveness as the tide of globalization and informatization sweeps across the world. The traditional human translation model alone can barely satisfy the actual requirements of the diplomatic affairs and international relations in the current situations. So it follows that diplomatic translation necessitates the introduction and development of advanced information technology and machine-aided translation system. The paper presents the key proposition of Machine-aided Diplomatic Translation and Machine-aided Diplomatic Translation Model based on the theoretical framework and prototype of Statistical Machine Translation advanced by IBM Research Laboratory and the characteristic of diplomatic language translation.

Best Practices of Professional Translation Services
--A Case Study of Huawei's Translation Services Model
As a leading global Information and Communications Technology (ICT) solutions provider, Huawei operates in more than 140 countries, helping billions of people around the world stay connected. Among its 150,000 employees, about 30,000 are non-Chinese. How does this company overcome language barriers in its daily operations? To answer this question, the author will give an introduction to Huawei Translation Services Center (Huawei TSC), a professional translation organization that plays a unique role in Huawei's internal and external communication. Huawei TSC is an in-house translation services provider at Huawei. Now, Huawei TSC employs several hundred people, including not only translators and interpreters, but also proofreaders, native editors, localization project managers, localization engineering personnel, and Desktop publishing (DTP) personnel. In addition, several top-flight outsourcing translation companies serve Huawei as Huawei TSC's extended resource pool. Today, Huawei TSC provides translation services for 61 languages, covering 109 language pairs. The volume of translation exceeds 300 million words each year and the interpreting man-hours amount to 12,000 annually.
Huawei TSC is an active player in translation and localization circles as well as in the ICT industry in China and around the world. Huawei TSC is a member of the Translators Association of China. In addition, Huawei TSC engages in deep exchanges with higher education institutions and other players in the translation industry in both technical and academic aspects. From time to time, Huawei TSC invites distinguished scholars or renowned figures from the translation field to give lectures to its translators and interpreters in order to broaden their view. Likewise, several dozen translators/interpreters of Huawei TSC have also been invited to well-known universities in China to give lectures to graduate students majoring in translation and interpretation. Of particular note, some Huawei TSC translators/interpreters have been officially appointed as part-time tutors for postgraduate students in several of these universities.
In view of the rapid development of Huawei TSC, you might wonder: How does such a large in-house translation organization operate? What processes are in place in Huawei TSC so as to ensure that high-quality translation services are provided to the company as a whole? How are translators/interpreters selected, developed, and retained at Huawei? What is their career path? What are the competence models for Huawei translators/interpreters? What are the roles of a Huawei translator/interpreter inside the company?
With these questions in mind, this paper will brief you about Huawei's translation services model in the following aspects:
1. Operations of Huawei TSC
1) Organizational structure and division of functions (including quality assurance engineers and the Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP))
2) Presence of Huawei TSC in China and in the world at large
3) Business Conduct Guidelines (BCG) followed by Huawei TSC
4) Service Level Agreement (SLA) practiced at Huawei TSC
5) Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) practiced at Huawei TSC
2. Translation processes of Huawei TSC (to ensure quality of the deliverables)
1) General translation process: Translation Process V2.0
2) Customized translation processes: applicable to the translation of periodicals, critical corporate documents, annual reports, etc.
3. Translator/interpreter selection and internship program
1) Campus recruitment
2) Social recruitment
3) Enterprise-college partnership projects
4. Translator/interpreter development
1) Tutoring system and training programs:
a) A dual-tutor system for newly-recruited translators/interpreters: translation/interpretation tutor + product/business tutor
b) Mini-training programs for newly-recruited translators/interpreters, covering Huawei's core values, technologies, style guide, translation tools, office skills, interpersonal skills, search engine skills, project management, and time management, among others.
2) An open platform for continuous capability development of Huawei translators/interpreters:
a) Huawei Translator Development Program (HTDP)
b) Interpreter development program
c) Dedicated product training sessions
d) External training sessions offered by the Translators Association of China
e) Lectures given by well-known scholars and masters of the translation field
5. Translator/interpreter retaining
Competitive compensation & benefits: salaries, shares, bonuses, insurances, among others
6. Career path for translators/interpreters
1) Technical path
2) Managerial path
3) Internal transfer
7. Competence models for translators/interpreters
1) Competence model for translators
2) Competence model for interpreters
8. Roles of a Huawei translator/interpreter
1) A service provider
2) Going beyond the translating process
a) Acting as a cultural bridge by following the instructions of the author of the original text
b) Applying creative translation methodology to render more reader-friendly target texts (more attention is paid to the effect of the translation)
c) Influencing the writer of the source text or the applicant who initiates or sponsors the translation project; using the expressions in the target language with which the translators feel most comfortable.
Through the introduction of Huawei's translation model, the author of this paper hopes to present to the translation world how this professional translation organization has played a part in Huawei's globalization efforts. Through this presentation, this paper also aims to increase the awareness of Huawei TSC among translators/interpreters working in different parts of the world in order to promote networking, collaboration, and opportunities. It is the author's belief that as the application of best practices becomes more widespread, the translation industry will thrive and become a preferred choice of employment for translation/interpretation majors as well as language majors.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The increasing use of language technology tools has prompted an interest in their impact on cognitive processes and translation products. Potential issues related to human-machine interactions include working conditions, time and resource management, and emotional factors. We will discuss the nature of translation as a cognitive and organizational activity, especially in the context of translation involving translation memory or machine translation. We draw on a large corpus of translation processes, collected while professionals and students were translating at their usual workplaces or in a usability lab (www.linguistik.zhaw.ch/ctp). On the basis of our findings, we argue that professional translators need to take increased ownership of language technology tools at every stage: in their development, their application, and their integration into organizational processes. This has clear implications for industry standards, models of translation expertise, and translation didactics.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Terminological competence is key in succeeding as a translator, which is why a terminology course for translation trainees should be aimed at teaching them practical skills necessary in searching, creating and managing terminological resources. This is not to say that the theoretical aspects of terminology work should be avoided during instruction. This presentation aims at showing what methods and materials may be used in teaching terminology to student translators. A format of a terminology course (30 hours in a semester) will be presented along with a proposed syllabus, didactic methods, tasks and materials used. Finally, results of an evaluation questionnaire will be presented to show how the course met/didn’t meet students’ expectations and help/didn’t help in building their terminological competence.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Die Suche nach Entsprechungen in einer anderen Sprache ist ein grundlegendes Bedürfnis des Menschen, der im Kontakt mit anderen steht, die andere Sprachen sprechen. Erstaunlich ist daher, dass Wörterbücher eine Geschichte von gerade etwa 500 Jahren haben. Von Terminologiearbeit, also dem professionellen Umgang mit Fachwörtern, sprechen wir jedoch erst seit gut 30 Jahren.
Im Vortrag wird dargestellt, wie Terminologiearbeit heute in verschiedenen Anwendungsfällen und Arbeitsumgebungen funktionieren kann.
Dazu werden zunächst wenige begriffliche Grundlagen erläutert und der prinzipielle theoretische Ansatz von Terminologiearbeit vorgestellt. Es wird erläutert, worauf es bei der rechnergestützten Terminologiearbeit ankommt und wie in der Praxis konkret mit den Anforderungen der Theorie umgegangen werden kann.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Probably no other subject in the science of translation has been debated as controversially as the assessment of translation quality. Opinions on the quality of a translation frequently vary widely since factors that go into evaluating a translation are often highly subjective and thus depend on the person conducting the assessment. What is needed, therefore, is to establish consistency and a way to compare quality assessments that are based on metrics-oriented criteria, in turn necessitating error categories to assess accuracy (and a definition of translation quality). Of the many systems of assessing translation quality in use, SAE J2450 for the automotive industry is the only one from a recognized standards body. Although previous attempts at developing standards have failed, several are still underway to establish an objective assessment system applicable to all kinds of texts and maybe even to both human and machine-translated texts, and will be presented during this panel.

La traduction médicale ne fait pas toujours partie du cursus en traduction. Lorsqu’elle est prévue au programme, elle fait généralement l’objet d’un cours de 60 heures maximum.
Cette communication s’attachera à montrer les stratégies pédagogiques à développer en classe pour que l’étudiant puisse affronter tous types de textes médicaux spécialisés.
La typologie des textes choisis par l’enseignant, leur analyse, la recherche documentaire et terminologique à mettre en œuvre, le sociolecte médical, la connotation sous-jacente, autant d’éléments auxquels il faudra familiariser le futur traducteur.
A partir d’exemples très concrets en français, j’essaierai de mettre en avant les caractéristiques tout à fait particulières du discours médical, qui ne se résument pas à une terminologie spécialisée, mais qui mettent en jeu un véritable système d’écriture et même des ressources littéraires, à des fins de persuasion.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Foreign residents of Aichi, Japan, often have insufficient levels of Japanese language skills, and are often in difficult situations should they need to access healthcare services.
In order to satisfy the need for community interpreters in the healthcare field, a trial run of the “Aichi Medical Interpreting System” (a first of its kind in Japan) was undertaken in 2011 by the combined efforts of local municipal communities, healthcare organisations and universities situated in Aichi. This programme is intended to train healthcare interpreters in four languages: English, Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish, and to make them available to medical practices.
With the involvement of the English interpretation team of this programme, we would like to introduce three aspects: how this system has worked so far, the training course itself, and how this system may become more useful in the future regarding the advantages of telephone interpreting services referring to overseas situations.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Though enjoying a multiple-millennium-lengthed history of interpreting activities in China, it was not until late 1970 when China began to open its door and interpreting studies and practices surfaced again. With its remarable economic growth and its central government’s commitment to set a strong foot in the interantional arena, translation, in particular, conference interpreting has attracted growing interest among the younger generation for the interpreting profession and an increasing desire to be educated in such an area due to multiple reasons among which professional rewarding and financial return. The author is intended to borrow the concept of D. Kiraly for his social constructivism whose cornerstone is that learning needs to be situated in an authentic or simulated setting, where students can acquire their professional competence.

Der Vortrag berichtet von ersten Erfahrungen über den Einsatz film-basierter Computersimulationstechnik im universitären Dialogdolmetschunterricht. Film-basierte Computersimulationstechnik ist zwar in der Fremdsprachendidaktik bereits mit guten Ergebnissen eingesetzt worden (Haataja 2010), doch wie steht es mit dem Dialogdolmetschtraining, das die Studierenden auf eine einzigartige und zweifellos sehr komplexe Aufgabe im Rahmen zwischenmenschlicher Kommunikation vorbereiten soll?

Sind in Zeiten gekürzter Unterrichtsressourcen Computersimulationen nun die erhofften Retter in der Not oder geben sie vielleicht den Studierenden zu leicht sogar falsche Signale über das eigene vermeintliche Können, das später sogar dramatische Konsequenzen zur Folge haben kann? Inwiefern und inwieweit kann der Computer den Menschen als Lehrenden ersetzen? Erste Eindrücke von Studierenden wie auch Lehrenden beim Testen eines Simulationsprototypen für das Dialogdolmetschen werden erörtert.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The structure and content of self-study sessions, and the potential correlation between effective practice and examination success, is a relatively unexplored issue in conference interpreting training. Indeed, there has been little attention devoted to an approach focused on quality rather than quantity – i.e. one which establishes principles and hands-on tools for students to enable them to structure self study sessions in a didactically sensible manner and to critically (self)reflect on their performance, while allowing trainers to develop an effective monitoring system to gauge the effectiveness of self-study. This presentation will critically report on a project on guided practice in Cologne, designed to enable students to set appropriate goals, critically self- and peer assess performance, and track development via an interpreting journal with trainer feedback. Observation of self-study sessions and student feedback are also integral parts of the project.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The growing demand for translations to be delivered in ever shorter turnarounds has been promoting significant changes in the profession, compelling translators to employ technological tools to maximum advantage, mainly translation memory systems. Aiming to prepare future translators to meet market needs, many undergraduate translation courses in Brazil have included the training on translation memory systems in their curricula. As most courses focus on training students to master the use of the resources made available by these tools, no space is left for reflecting on their wider implications in the practice of translation. In this oral communication I shall address the challenge, faced by professors of translation, of introducing these discussions in translation training courses. As I shall argue, teaching students to reflect on their work as they translate assisted by translation memories allows a deeper understanding of how much they control and are controlled by these tools.

In translatologischen Kreisen wird der Einsatz echter Aufträge inzwischen überwiegend positiv bewertet, da diese den Studierenden einen konkreten Einblick in die translatorische Praxis gewähren. Es stellt sich in diesem Zusammenhang jedoch die Frage, wie authentische Aufträge im Übersetzungsunterricht Anwendung finden sollten. An dieser Stelle setze ich an und entwickele im Rückgriff auf die übersetzungsdidaktische Grundlagenforschung und Ergebnisse früherer Unterrichtsversuche sowie des eigenen prototypischen Unterrichtsversuchs, der in die Schritte Vorbereitung, Durchführung und Auswertung gegliedert ist, ein robustes, aber dennoch flexibles didaktisches Modell. Als Endergebnis wird eine Checkliste erstellt, die die Lehrenden als Leitfaden für den eigenen unterrichtlichen Umgang mit authentischen Übersetzungsaufträgen dienen kann.
In meinem Tagungsbeitrag möchte ich das von mir entwickelte Modell präsentieren.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Translation is of two main branches: scholastic and professional (Kiraly, 1995: 1). Scholastic translation deals with translation teaching in which both the process and product are important. Professional translation, in contrast, deals with the market and only the product is important. In scholastic translation, students are evaluated via exams or assignments.
Commented translation is a translation assessment approach. It means that translation students comment on the strategic decisions they make while translating. This paper, deals with measuring the usefulness of commented translation in Libya. Therefore, an empirical study in which graduate students are taught two translation practice courses but evaluated differently. In one course, they are examined; in the other, they write commented translation assignments. Then, their results are compared, and they are interviewed about both methods. Their answers are analyzed to check the usefulness of commented translation in Libya.

In the globalised knowledge and information societies, specialised language has become an ever more important prerequisite of any kind of efficient and effective communication, management and interoperability of technical systems and methodologies. And there is an immense need for training, qualification and recognized certification courses for professionals working with terminology. The professional background for terminology managers could not be more heterogeneous and diverse: From translation service providers via departments in SMEs or global companies to language support in European and International organizations. In this presentation we will explore what it takes to become a certified terminology manager, what benefits it adds to the market and the person who get certified. And what further language versions and subject field specializations are up-coming.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Certifying official translators presents those in charge of organizing the exam with a variety of challenges. The large number of candidates, their background, different languages and modes in the source texts, assessment criteria, time constraints and the use of dictionaries combine to make this evaluation quite a daunting task. The use of technology during the different phases of the exam has simplified the task of the organizers to a large extent, but it has also brought about new demands for all those involved, both in terms of technological competence, confidentiality and security, added to the "human factor", one of the most salient aspects in implementing new assessment tools. This presentation will describe the context and nature of the official translators' exam in Bogotá, Colombia and analyze the role of technology during its different phases. The presenters will share their experience, issues and perspectives on this current trend in translation assessment.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Translation is a rendering from one language into another, i.e. the faithful representation in one language of what is written or said in another language. However, the translation of long sentences is perhaps the most difficult of all in the process of English-Chinese translation. From the perspective of different idiomatic expressions between English and Chinese, the paper analyses the differences of their sentence formation and structure, thereby introducing English long sentences, esp. long sentences in medical English and their characteristics. Here we introduces the five translation techniques in translating long English sentences, which are translation in coherence, translation in inversion, division, insertion and recasting. Consequently, we can choose the translation techniques accordingly and correctly. In this way, our translation can be very close to the original sentences.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Seit einigen Jahren arbeitet eine Karlsruher Forschungsgruppe an der Entwicklung eines maschinellen Dolmetschsystems, das gesprochene Sprache erkennt, maschinell übersetzt und dann als Text ausgibt. Der Lecture Translator, der, wie der Name schon sagt, unter anderem in Universitätsvorlesungen eingesetzt werden soll, wurde 2011 anhand eines Ausgangstext-Zieltext-Vergleichs und einer Zieltextanalyse aus dolmetschwissenschaftlicher Perspektive umfassend untersucht und seine Leistung mit der von Humandolmetschern verglichen.

Nach einer kurzen Vorstellung des Systems und seiner Funktionsweise wird dargelegt, welche Stärken und Schwächen es im Vergleich zu menschlichen Dolmetschern aufweist. Es werden Szenarien vorgestellt, in denen das System eingesetzt wird, werden kann oder werden soll. Könnten die zugrundeliegenden Technologien Humandolmetscher bei ihrer Arbeit unterstützen, oder wird die Maschine den Menschen eines Tages ganz ersetzen?

In a great majority of patient information leaflets, the patients are informed that they might not tolerate the medicine if they have “Lapp-lactase deficiency”. Where does the term come from? Is this about the Lapps? Shouldn’t we say “Sami-lactase”? A beautiful case of language deficiency, demonstrating how the sole use of English in the scientific world can bias scientific progress.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Das aktuelle Berufsbild für Übersetzer zeigt sehr unterschiedliche Tätigkeitsfelder, vom „reinen“ Übersetzen, über Terminologiearbeit, technische Redaktion, Projektmanagement bis hin zu verschiedenen Führungspositionen, um nur einige zu nennen. Daraus ergibt sich die Frage: Wie können die Absolventen auf ein derart breitgefächertes berufliches Umfeld vorbereitet werden? Diese Frage reiht sich auch in die Diskussion um eine Ausbildung als Generalisten oder Spezialisten ein. Die Ausbildung soll so breit angelegt sein, dass die Absolventen den Praxisanforderungen gerecht werden können, insofern Generalisten. Dabei ist es m. E. nicht so entscheidend, welche Sach- und Fachgebiete im Mittelpunkt stehen, sondern dass anhand einzelner Sachgebiete, Methoden und Vorgehensweisen umfassend vermittelt und trainiert werden, insofern Spezialisten. Wie dies in der Ausbildungspraxis aussehen kann, soll anhand meiner Erfahrungen an der Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal dargestellt werden.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
As technology has become an essential part of our everyday life, translation technology is an ever more essential part of the translation landscape. Recent advances of Machine Translation (MT) and the interactive Web 2.0 have brought free MT services available online for anyone and are creating increasing demand for new workflows like post-editing machine-translated texts. MT has also entered into translation memory software in the form of hybrid and interactive systems. Another new dimension has been added to audiovisual translation: intralingual subtitling and respeaking, which involves working with speech-recognition software. In this paper, we reflect on the implications of these developments and of the new tools on the training of future translators: What new skills do students need in order to cope with the changing market? We also present an example of a translation technology course with an MT post-editing task with a view to familiarizing students with these new developments.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
For translator training, different models could be used as points of departure. In our practice in translation teaching and translator training in the past years a model of multimodality has been used and proved to be quite effective. Multimodality in our teaching means the combination of theory and practice, the combination of written and audio-visual materials for the students’ practice, as well as the combination of the teacher’s guidance and the students’ participation. This paper will focus on one of the translation courses we have offered to the translation students at the University of Macao. Reiss’s text type and the Skopos Theory is used as the basic principles for the students’ practice. It will also discuss the role of norms and conventions in functional translation as well as other related factors that determining the translator’s decision in any given case.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Der Vortrag setzt sich mit dem Autorisierungssystem in Finnland auseinander, das als Reaktion auf die Revidierung der finnischen Gesetzgebung im Jahr 2008 entwickelt wurde. Um autorisierter Übersetzer werden zu können, ist entweder das Bestehen eines nationalen Examens oder der Abschluss eines Universitätsstudiums, das spezifische Studienmodule in autorisierter Übersetzung enthält, Voraussetzung. Im Falle des Universitätsstudiums muss die Autorisierung durch den vom Kultusministerium eingesetzten Prüfungsausschuss für autorisierte Übersetzer (Auktorisoidun kääntäjän tutkintolautakunta) bestätigt werden. Darüber hinaus sind die Universitäten selbst für die Qualitätssicherung der Studieninhalte und der Examinierung zuständig, wobei die vom Kultusministerium und vom Prüfungsausschuss festgelegten Standards mitberücksichtigt werden müssen. Die Universität Vaasa ist bezüglich der Durchführung des Systems und der Einführung der internen Qualitätssicherung eine der Pionieruniversitäten in Finnland.
In der Präsentation geht es insbesondere um die Frage, wie die nationalen Standards im Detail an der Universität implementiert werden. Nicht zuletzt beinhalten diese Implementierungen bestimmte Regeln, die z. B. die Rechte der Studierenden berücksichtigen. Das finnische System mit seinen spezifischen Studienmodulen zur autorisierten Übersetzung könnte Anregungen für andere Länder bieten.

The presentation will focus on how the authorization system has been built up at the University of Vaasa in Finland in response to the legislation revised in 2008. To become an authorized translator in Finland one has to pass a national exam or achieve a university degree which includes studies in authorized translation. In the latter case the authorization must be confirmed by the national Authorized Translator´s Examination Board upon application by the candidates. In addition to this formal quality control, the universities are responsible for quality assurance of the studies in authorized translation. Special focus will be placed on how national standards have been implemented in the university context in cooperation with the Board. This includes the university’s own regulations in respect of students’ rights. The Finnish system with university study modules in authorized translation may have implications for related development activities in other countries.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
In the globalization time, economic and cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world are gaining momentum. Research on Chinese city public sign translation has captured more and more attention from scholars. Nevertheless, the researches are inadequate in systematizing and standardizing its translation due to the unique linguistic features and diversified functions of public signs. This paper, taking functionalist approaches as the frame work, applies descriptive and comparative methods, with the linguistic, cultural and pragmatic mistranslation data from public signs in Xiaogan City classified and analyzed, it is found that functionalist approaches are more practical and effective in directing public sign translation. And it is suggested that three strategies (transliteration, literal translation and free translation) are for public sign translation. Free translation may apply omission, addition and rewriting techniques.

In 2005 I finished translating the novel "Trawler" by Redmond O'Hanlon. It is a vivid and fascinating account about life aboard a trawler, the hazards of trawling during a hurricane. A text where every page is jammed with terms and expressions from fishermen's life at sea. The main problem I met with was that there existed no marine/maritime Dictionary from English in Norway. For centuries our economy has depended on fisheries and shipping, currently also aquaculture.To help me out in creating such a needed tool I have been in touch with relevant persons, from the Minister of fisheries, to the Coastal Guard and scientists in the Field. Unfortunately all funds were restricted to applied research only. The universal pressure from English on almost every living language today is a threat to national languages and their cultural heritage. Together With a group of experts we finally obtained some funds and have now started the reserch.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
One of the most significant changes to people’s lives in recent years has been the explosion of content. The volume of content, the accuracy of audience targeting for that content and the means of accessing the content via different media types and devices is changing continuously. Meanwhile, significant progress in machine translation(MT) is unlikely to result from a one-size-fits-all approach: massively diverse and increasing global translation demands require intelligent and concerted efforts, targeting a number of key limitations, including technological limitations as well as MT integration in workflows involving translation professionals. To meet the demands of GIC translation, we concentrate on an integrative, interactive and intelligent MT study. This paper seeks to revolutionise the way people can seamlessly interact with content, systems and each other to achieve unprecedented levels of access, efficiency and empowerment.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Historically, the matter of quality assessment in translation has focused mainly on the linguistic and functional accuracy of target texts, and little attention has been dedicated to appropriateness of the translation processes themselves. Are all machine translated texts bad? Are all human translated texts necessarily good? What texts are better served by one or the other?
This paper flows from a preliminary research project aimed at comparing levels of usability in machine and human translations. In our opinion, there is a direct correlation between usability and quality, and it is possible to identify factors that should be taken into account when assessing the quality of translations of any kind.
In this paper, we will present the theoretical foundations for our research program, present the results of a preliminary research project, and outline a wider research project that could bring together international participants.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Der (oft laienhaften) Meinung, Bilinguale seien zum Dolmetschen prädestiniert, steht die Auffassung (mancher Experten) gegenüber, sie seien zum Dolmetschen ungeeignet, weil sie keine ihrer Sprachen richtig beherrschten. Beide Behauptungen stützen sich auf sehr unterschiedliche Vorstellungen von der Sprachkompetenz Bilingualer. Welche ist nun aber wahr? Im Rahmen einer Studie an der Universität Leipzig zur Eignung Bilingualer als Dolmetscher wurden zweisprachige Dolmetschstudenten/-absolventen, Dozenten und ein staatliches Prüfungsamt befragt.
Es soll zunächst auf den Begriff Zweisprachigkeit, Konzepte, die Sprachkompetenz und Bikulturalität Zweisprachiger eingegangen werden. Nach einigen Bemerkungen zum Dolmetschen und der Vorstellung des Erhebungsinstruments werden der sprachlich-biografische Hintergrund der Bilingualen und die Verbindung zwischen der Zweisprachigkeit und dem Dolmetschen analysiert. Schließlich werden die Ergebnisse der Studie vorgestellt und diskutiert.

Ich verfolge aber auch weiterhin meine 2009 aufgenommene freiberufliche Tätigkeit als Dolmetscherin und Übersetzerin.
Hintergrund der Untersuchung: Ich war über beide im Abstract beschriebenen Auffassungen von Bilingualen verwundert, trafen sie doch auf die meisten Zweisprachigen, die ich kannte, nicht zu. Somit beschloss ich, die Eignung Bilingualer als Dolmetscher näher zu beleuchten. Die Untersuchung stützt sich auf eine an einem staatlichen Prüfungsamt und neun Hochschulen in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz durchgeführten Befragung. Die Arbeit wurde von Univ.-Prof. Dr. habil. Sabine Bastian (Universität Leipzig) betreut.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Following the much researched topic on the role of computer as a tutor or as a tool in language learning, the role of computers has been recognized as a tool to translators in the form of translation memory. Few studies, however, address the role of machine to interpreting. Can machine also play a role to interpreters? This study examines the role that computer plays in interpreting practice and interpreter training. It proposes that computer would play a predominant role as a tool rather than a tutor in the future. We review current literature and examine available tools for interpreters and interpreter trainers. It appears that advances in artificial intelligence – in particular, speech recognition, machine translation – have not reached a point closer to building an intelligent machine tutor for interpreters. However, machine’s role as a tool opens ample dimensions, such as interpreting database, lexical resources and tools, and distance interpreting practice and training.

Da die Genderproblematik im Sprachgebrauch besonders deutlich wird, ist das Gender Mainstreaming auch in Fragen der Sprachverwendung durchaus relevant. Mittels sprachlicher Genderanalysen ist bereits versucht worden, Unterschiede in der Situation der Geschlechter aufzudecken, die durch den Sprachgebrauch bewirkt werden. Die sprachliche Gleichstellung der Geschlechter ist durchaus ein wichtiger Teil der allgemeinen gesellschaftlichen Gleichstellung der Geschlechter. Wie aber sieht das sprachliche Gender Mainstreaming in der Praxis aus und inwieweit kann es beim Simultandolmetschen aufgrund der spezifischen Rahmenbedingungen und zeitlichen Anforderungen überhaupt umgesetzt werden?

In der Türkei wird vorwiegend aus dem Englischen synchronisiert. Das Englische macht keine Differenzierung bei der Anrede zwischen dem Duzen und Siezen und bei der Synchronisation werden in dieser Hinsicht die zielkulturellen Anredekonventionen eingehalten. In dieser Untersuchung werden Filme daraufhin analysiert, wie die deutschen offiziellen und inoffiziellen Anredeformen ins Türkische übertragen werden, da beide Sprachen über diese Unterscheidung verfügen jedoch im Gebrauch Unterschiede bestehen. Dazu werden die Originalfassungen mit den Sendetext verglichen. Da in der Türkei die Rohübersetzungsphase entfällt, wird der Synchronübersetzungstext des Übersetzers mit einbezogen, sofern er vorhanden ist. Denn die Differenzen zwischen der Synchronübersetzung und dem ausgestrahlten Sendetext nach den Aufnahmen im Synchronstudio können auch Rückschlüssen über den Synchronisationsprozess bieten.

As with any product, in our own industry’s increasingly global commercial market, suppliers wish to provide a good service which is financially viable, and buyers (in this case, potential students) wish to purchase a worthwhile product which they feel is good value for money. Online learning is a solution from both perspectives.
While examining the pros and cons for both supplier and student, we shall analyse the astounding growth in distance learning in general, commercially justifying
more courses, and contrast this with the current limited availability of online translation training at all levels.
Taking advantage of our computer-literate profession, we shall look at Skype-type technology incorporated into blending learning programmes, providing a massive improvement over the former written submission format, and propose that such courses could fill a void for tailor-made continuing professional development for experienced translators which is both economical and flexible.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
China was firmly griped by the communist ideology from the founding of the People’s Republic of China on October 1, 1949 to the eve of the Cultural Revolution in 1966. With the communist ideology looming large in the background, literary translation during this period was greatly influenced by factors such as China’s alliance with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, its friendship with the Eastern European communist countries, its antagonism against the Western capitalist camp, and its literary policy stipulating that literature should shape and reflect the revolutionary spirit. How did the unique translation phenomena in China take place? Why did the Communist Party of China hurry to carry out the planification and systematization of translation activities and set translation norms as soon as the PRC was founded? What was its implication? This essay seeks to answer these questions by taking the 1951 First National Conference of Translation.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Large-scale spoken-language interpreting is practised at the North-West University, South Africa. A contentious matter has always been the insistence of lecturers on subject-specialist interpreters. With the recent admission of a Deaf student to BA Law studies at this university, sign-language interpreting has been added for the first time. This enabled the study on which this paper is based, which compared the accuracy of interpreting of the same lecture by a subject-specialist interpreter into a spoken language with the accuracy of a non-specialist interpreter working into South African Sign Language. The study reveals valuable findings regarding accuracy in terms of the texts produced by a specialist vs a non-specialist interpreter, and in terms of of the spoken-language and the sign language target texts produced, when the source text was compared with the two target texts produced. The findings go a long way towards allaying concerns regarding non-specialist interpreters.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
This paper examines what types of cues trigger predictive processes during simultaneous interpreting and what this says about the analysis of the input during simultaneous interpreting. Two types of cues that have been previously found to lead to prediction during simultaneous interpreting were investigated - contextual constraint and transitional probability, i.e. the statistical likelihood with which words appear together in language. Two tasks were carried out, a simultaneous interpreting task with syntactically asymmetrical source and target language structures and a simultaneous interpreting task with syntactically symmetrical sentences between the source and target languages. While a main effect of contextual constraint was observed, transitional probability only affected prediction during simultaneous interpreting involving symmetrical sentence structures and not asymmetrical structures. These results were interpreted in light of theories of simultaneous interpreting.

I have a bachelor's degree in Translation and Interpreting and I have worked as a freelance interpreter for three years. In October 2008 I started my master studies in English and Applied Linguistics. After obtaining a Master a year later, I started a PhD in English and Applied Linguistics on the topic 'Predictive processes during simultaneous interpreting from German into English'. I took an interdisciplinary psycholinguistic approach towards the investigation of the types of cues that trigger predictive processes during simultaneous interpreting and the role that word order or sentence structure play during the analysis of the input in simultaneous interpreting. In March 2013 I successfully defended my PhD dissertation and am to receive my degree in July 2013. My interests lie in simultaneous interpreting, language processing and production and bilingual language processing.

Freelance translators rely heavily on their personal and professional social relations. These network structures ensure emotional and functional support and the access to various benefits. With the nascency of the Web 2.0, featuring each user as a prosumer and supporting social interaction, network structures of individuals are reported to have changed gradually. It's easy to maintain relationships with other persons across spatial boundaries. Freelancers - according to Malone - become E-Lancers and now compete on a global market. In this workshop, I will present my research on the impact of the Social Web on translators' networks. Contrary to findings from previous studies, translators also reported negative impacts of online-communities. We will discuss these results and check them against the personal experiences of the workshop participants. The insights offered from latest research findings will help participants to gain a better understanding of the translation industry.

The recent development of parallel corpora has brought abundant, often web-based and easily accessible, resources to translators’ fingertips. This has created a pressing need to study how translators make use of such resources. This paper examines trainee translators at a tertiary institution in Macau. In our experiment, they translated a text from English into Chinese using a workbench comprising online dictionaries and two large web-based Chinese-English parallel corpora. We investigate whether the students perceived the parallel corpora to be more useful than the dictionaries, and in which respects they found them particularly useful. We looked at students’ web-browsing history, and elicited their opinions through a post-task report and focus-group discussion. The results reveal the unique merits of using parallel corpora to resolve translation problems, and also point to certain challenges, such as information overload and the problem of inadequate translations in the corpora.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
This presentation investigates the motivations of several people displaced by violent conflicts in choosing to settle and become public service interpreters in the UK, e.g. do their experiences give them greater empathy for those arriving in the UK in need of assistance as they were, and how does that compare with colleagues here through birth, personal choice or economic considerations? How have their homeland experiences coloured their interpreting work? Can they envisage continuing making a contribution to their new community as an interpreter? Do they feel being a UK public service interpreter restricts them by excluding the area of advocacy?
The paper also investigates the UK Government’s assistance, or lack of it, for those who acted as interpreters for the Armed Forces in recent conflicts.
The speaker draws on seventeen years public service interpreter training for amongst others displaced persons from ex-Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and those displaced by the Arab spring

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Depuis quelques années, le métier de traduction se trouve fortement influencé par les nouvelles technologies. L’opération traduisante ne s’effectue plus en fonction de la personne du traducteur mais aussi de son nouveau partenaire, l’ordinateur.
Le traducteur aujourd’hui est « appareillé », il est assisté par des logiciels qui visent l’amélioration de qualité, l’efficacité et la rapidité.
La traduction est informatisée, elle se transforme en Traductique, le traducteur deviendra bientôt réviseur éditeur, les compétences techniques complémenteront les autres compétences pour former un traducteur professionnel.…
Face à ces nouveaux enjeux, se pose le problème de formation. Cette évolution du métier doit s’accompagner de la modernisation des cursus,et surtout la formation des formateurs.
Le défi aujourd’hui est d'adapter la formation des nouvelles générations à l’évolution du métier et aux exigences du marché de demain.

Maschinelle Übersetzung (MÜ) und Postedition sind in der Übersetzungsbranche heiß diskutierte Themen. In den letzten Jahren haben sich einige Studien sowohl aus der Industrie als auch aus der Wissenschaft mit Postedition befasst. Eine bei Volkswagen (VW) durchgeführte Studie will vor allem folgende Fragen beantworten: Bringt Postedition Effizienzsteigerungen im Übersetzungsprozess bei gleichbleibender Qualität? Welche Faktoren wirken sich positiv aus, welche negativ? Für die Studie haben 20 Übersetzer technische Dokumente in mehrstündigen Einzelsitzungen mit SDL Trados Studio teilweise selbst übersetzt, teilweise Ergebnisse der regelbasierten MÜ-Software Lucy LT posteditiert. Dabei wurden die Augenbewegungen der Probanden von einem Eye-Tracker, die Tastaturanschläge und das Video des Probandenmonitors sowie die übersetzten Dateien aufgezeichnet, um sie anschließend auswerten zu können. In dem Vortrag werden das Studiendesign und die Ergebnisse präsentiert.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
The elements of a text that the writer is clearly trying to convey to the reader are generally new to the reader in some way, and semantically stressed. They also imply a contrast with something else that has been said, or could have been said. Such words may be described as 'digital'.
Other content that is already familiar to the listener lacks this urgency of communicative purpose and does not imply a contrast with other possibilities. Such words may thus be described as 'analog'.
This distinction operates differently in different languages. It also provides a useful perspective for the description of the genre of texts to be translated, and the discussion of the problems inherent in man-machine linguistic interactions.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
Scientific Translation as well as Terminology have mainly focused on the study of the so called hard sciences, somehow disregarding non-deterministic fields of research, e.g. anthropology, sociology, whose terminology also poses immense challenges to scientific communication. Sociological concepts – highly rooted in social, historical and cultural realities, show a confusing and fluctuating signification in relation to men: races, ethnicities, nations, states, society, culture... Words everyone knows, but whose definitions are manifold or controversial. Thus: how does the incorporation of non-deterministic fields could contribute to broaden already existent terminological theories and methodologies? By analyzing Amerindian life, through Viveiros de Castro’s work (2011), we reflect upon the danger that might arise when translating the Other: how to translate to our culture a man that does not imagine himself living in culture?

Dolmetscherinnen und Dolmetscher arbeiten oft unter hoher Belastung. Sie passen ihre sprachlichen und kommunikativen Entscheidungen blitzschnell immer neuen Gegebenheiten an. Doch wie können wir diese Flexibilität in der Aus- und Weiterbildung gezielt schulen? Mit Übungen aus dem Improvisationstheater trainieren wir in diesem Workshop solche Dolmetschtugenden ganz bewusst außerhalb der eigentlichen Dolmetschsituation: die Kapazität des Kurzzeitgedächtnisses, das Antizipieren von Handlungen und Intentionen, Unvollständiges zu etwas Rundem ergänzen, reaktionsschnell assoziieren, generalisieren, abstrahieren. Dabei gönnen wir uns eine Pause von der Vorlagentreue, werden selbst zu Erzählern und genießen unsere Kreativität. Viele der Übungen sind auch zum Aufwärmen im Dolmetschunterricht oder vor dem Einsatz geeignet. Neugier und bequeme Kleidung sind die einzigen Voraussetzungen. Erfolgsdruck, Griffel und Notizblock lassen wir getrost zuhause.

Im Gegensatz zum Deutschen oder Englischen ist das Rumänische eine Sprache mit geringer Verbreitung, daher sind didaktische Strategien, Ziele und Methoden im Rahmen der Übersetzerausbildung einerseits an die allgemeinen curricularen Anforderungen und andererseits an die gegebene Marktsituation von Rumänisch-Übersetzern und -Dolmetschern anzupassen. In einem lernerzentrierten Unterricht ist nicht nur der in Rumänien und/oder im deutschen Sprachraum erfolgte Bildungsweg der Studierenden sondern auch deren Migrationshintergrund in Betracht zu ziehen. In einer funktionalen Übersetzungsperspektive ist Gruppenarbeit auf der Grundlage von praxisnahen Paralleltexten die wesentliche Voraussetzung für den Studienerfolg und den beruflichen Werdegang der Studierenden.

In the formal setting of the HK Chief Executive’s Q&A Session which is live broadcast on TV, radio and the Internet, there is a proliferation of informal slang used by the HK Legislative Council members. By analysing the Cantonese slang in the Q&A sessions and their English interpreting, this paper examined the reasons for using the slang and how they were simultaneously interpreted into English. It was found that the members used slang for political reasons and most of the slang were rendered into formal expressions in English and the effects created by the Cantonese slang were lost in the English output, leading to the absence of the purposes of using slang by the members. It is argued that the loss of the effects is related to the linguistic and cultural specificity of slang, the working condition of simultaneous interpreting and the political agenda of the government, which presented to English audience a different picture of HK than that presented to Cantonese audience.

Consistent multilingual terminology is a key factor for smooth communication and high quality documentation and translation. Nevertheless terminology management is an issue often neglected by organizations. But inconsistent terminology does not meet today’s requirements of efficient and high quality documentation and translation. Therefore, the postgraduate research project invents a process-oriented approach, particularly suitable for companies in the automobile industry. General set-up, structures, key factors and requirements of a car manufacturer with global reach as well as its multilingual documentation and translation processes are analysed. Demands for a successful terminology management are deduced and strategic instruments for its implementation are discussed. According to the given requirements a suitable standardized terminology process is designed to define and harmonize multilingual terminology providing terminological resources at the right time and at the right place.

Translation as a profession still has a long road ahead for being recognized, especially in some Spanish speaking countries. Translators should know and observe legal responsibility. This is a mixed-research study based on a sequential design. Firstly, a contrastive analysis of different legislations from Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Spain, and Venezuela was made. Secondly, a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were applied to a randomly-chosen group of twenty-five people (students and professionals). Results from the contrastive analysis showed that though legal regulation of translation is found in these countries, only legal translation is considered. Survey results showed that most participants do not have much knowledge about legal responsibility in translation and the current situation of translators in Venezuela. More information about the professional practice of translation should be offered as well as educational campaigns in public and private sectors.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
This study examines the linguistic choices of interpreters in a specialized corpus of China’s political press conference. The aim of the research is to examine the interpreters’ possible linguistic manipulation of the interpersonal meanings of the discourse and to investigate an interpreter’s role in such a politically-constrained context.
Thus, the research will examine the systemic choices of interpreters in the MOOD network (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004) and in the Appraisal system (Martin & White, 2008) in relation to the client and topic variation. Also, the researcher will investigate the interpreters’ turn-taking and pauses in conversational analysis (Sacks et al, 1974).
The study is expected to provide linguistic evidences of interpreters’ active participation in communication, to show that interpreters’ linguistic choices are reflective to contextual constrains and to inspire more corpus-based interpreting studies.

In a rapidly changing world, new approaches to tried and true practices can seem threatening, even disruptive. The world of interpreter training is no exception. While many interpreter trainers and schools are looking with apprehension at the advent of virtual learning environments and asking themselves what this means for their practice, others have already crossed the digital divide and embraced the virtual classroom. This panel will explore how this can be done.

We will hear from some of the trailblazers in the field of online learning for interpreters. Panelists from four different continents will share their experiences in running virtual training programs for signed and spoken language interpreting. Learn about issues related to course design and implementation, access, creating a sense of community online, blended learning approaches and generalist training; ask questions or share your own virtual learning experiences in the Q&A session following the talks.

Machine translation in Malaysia indicates that interest in this area began in the 1970s and until now continues to be a research focus. With computer scientists playing a major role to contribute toward automated translation from English to the Malay language and vice versa, studies involving computer or machine translation maintains on the basis of programming while translation studies remain on its own. With consideration of reconciling human theories in machine translation, a research has been conducted to apply translation model into machine translation in terms of evaluation. This paper reports the research methodology applied to establish a model for evaluation in human and machine translation. It further discusses first, the findings of the research focusing on the criteria required for human and machine translation evaluation and second, the performance of an English to Malay translation system using the established model within the research.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
This paper reports on a project that aims to develop an online open courseware for English-Japanese interpretation training at university. The main module of the courseware consists of four parts; Part 1. Language Enhancement Exercises, Part 2: Introduction to Simultaneous Interpreting, Part 3: Introduction to Consecutive Interpreting, and Part 4: Interpreting Theories. As far as we know, the proposed courseware is the only full-fledged open courseware for E to J interpretation training as of today. The courseware comes with an easy-to-use course management system and an original media player to assist students with their practice in simultenenous interpreting. We believe that both students and instructors around the world will find it useful, and hope that it will help bridge the gaps between theory and practice in this important area of pedagogy.

 Zusammenfassung des Inhalts des Vortrags/Workshops
This presentation summarises the findings of a case study. The ‘case’ is a German technical magazine and its British counterpart.
How do German technical journalists write? In which way is this different from the way British technical journalists write? What are German and British reader expectations? And what can translators do to bridge the gaps in addition to getting the content and the terminology right? What degree of copywriting is necessary to make the target text appealing to target readers?
The findings are presented through concrete examples together with linguistic hands-on recipes. These refert to all levels of a journalistic article — title, lead paragraph, introductory paragraph, body text, sentences and words.
The workshop tries to look beyond the English-German language pair and encourages listeners to share their observations and experience in their own languages and language pairs.
