Mindig igaza van a fordítás megrendelőjének?

Gary Smith, Spanyolországban élő brit fordító gyakorlati példákat hoz arra, hogyan érdemes kezelni a megrendelői tévedéseket.

We’ve all had them. The marketing department that wants to sell air conditioning to Eskimos and central heating in Saudi Arabia. The boss who spent two weeks at a language school in London and thus considers himself an expert in translation. The customer is always right, as the saying goes. But sometimes they’re completely wrong. Translation is one of those professions that are a mystery to many clients, who can’t even understand the end product they are buying. Many think they can do it roughly themselves, so they often have strong opinions about what they want without sufficient knowledge to understand when they are in fact wrong. In such situations it would be easy to throw up our hands and give the client what they think they want, with disastrous results. Instead, take a deep breath and see the funny side of the situation. Translators need to allay our clients’ fears by helping them understand the potential pitfalls of their meddling too much with the text, while understanding ourselves that the client’s input is essential to give them the service they really seek. This talk aims to give some ideas as to how to do this with a little humour.

Mi történik, ha a fordító vagy tolmács hibát vét?

A fordítói szakosodás villámgyors és szinte ingyen módszere

Andriy Yasharov ukrán fordító bemutatja, hogyan válhat egy szakfordító több szakterület specialistájává.

Identifying and pursuing a specialization can be overwhelming for a generalist translator who decided to become specialized in one of the well-paid areas, such as law, medicine, engineering, IT, finance, life sciences and others. This is also true for established linguists who made up their mind that it’s high time they started translating in a different area. Of course, for some highly technical texts a strong educational background is a must, however, it’s not unusual for translators to be self-taught in the areas of specialization that they chose. My personal experience proves that.

But how is it that some professionals achieve their goals faster and more efficient than others? Nothing can be entirely free and super easy, let’s face the truth, but there are always some ways to use other means available to anyone in order to reach your specialization goals. Using those means will require some of your time, dedication, motivation and strong will and I’ll provide the knowledge of what to choose, where to look and how to use.

We’re not programmed to confidently state why someone should “pick” us, which is why writing the About page of your website is so difficult. That’s why flipping the meaning of the page, and making it about your ideal clients (and not you and your cat), can make things easier. This workshop will take you through 5 steps to crafting an About page that makes potential clients nod manically at their computer screen and make a beeline for your contact page. The 5 things we’ll look at are:

1. Identify the problem
2. The “Don’t Worry” stage
3. Introduce yourself
4. Add some credibility
5. Call to action

At the end of the session, you’ll be rid of your writer’s block and ready to write!
