Így dolgozik a fordító a felhőben

Marek Buchtel prágai fordító az új technológiák megszállottjaként bemutatja a fordítók számára megnyíló új felhőalapú lehetőségeket.

With the rapid development of technologies and processes, a translator‘s working environment is changing rapidly. What we knew and used two years ago may not be good enough and sufficient today. As our main focus is on translation and interpreting, we may not have the time and opportunity to closely monitor the development in other areas.

This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art technologies, tools and processes that are available to translators today. We will cover the latest options in hardware (desktops, notebooks, tablets, mobiles), the software that is relevant for translators on each platform (operating systems, software for communication, analysis, quality assurance, word processing, file processing, etc.), CAT tools (both local and cloud-based), backup solutions, storage solutions, resources, communication and connectivity, as well as the best practices.

The session will not cover the basics, but only the latest developments that many of us may not be aware of. There will be time reserved for discussion and sharing the experience, knowledge and best practices from the audience. Your input is greatly appreciated!

A kreatív szöveg: több vagy kevesebb?

Alison Hughes és Adriana Tortoriello brit fordítók és szövegírók arról beszélnek, hogy a kreatív szakmában mennyire érdemes eltávolodni a forrásszövegtől.

Arguably, all translation is a creative process but for the creative industries you can – and should – move away from the source. Alison and Adriana both translate creative texts, but Alison’s texts are more general and allow her to take considerable liberties while Adriana works with tight constraints such as space, images and genre-specific conventions. They will touch on both aspects of creative translation, giving specific examples.

Alison will speak about freedoms in creative translation:

• Taking a step back and asking yourself what the author is saying; changing sentence structure, omitting surplus words, adding new words.
• Focus on meaning and flow;
• Titles;
• Revision.

Adriana will focus on the constraints of creative translation, the interaction of verbal and nonverbal elements in texts and genre-specific conventions. Semiotically complex texts need to be approached by the translator in a very specific way, in order to:

• Avoid redundancy: a text-heavy advert won’t sell or have the desired impact.
• Focus on the message and its intended audience: concise copy.
• Take account of the medium and layout of the target text: expressing the message through font type, size and colour, text distribution, etc.

Ismerd jól a fordítói eszköztárad!

Marek Pawelec lengyel fordító a modern fordítók által használatos praktikus eszközökről, szoftverekről beszél.

Every craftsman knows his/her tools. Which one is used for which task, how to use them and how to distinguish seemingly similar tools perfected for different purposes. You know, you can use steel drill bit for drilling wood, but you’ll get better results using bit designed for wood. Good craftsman also takes good care of his/her tools because he or she knows that his/her income and safety depends on them. This is true for carpenters but also for translators.

We need to know which tool is best for any given job, how to fine-tune it and how to use it in the most efficient way. In this presentation/discussion we will talk about what tools do we use for the different tasks (e.g. PDF conversion, source file clean-up, translation, QA), how do we choose them and how can we fine-tune them to work best. Because it’s not about which tool is the best. It’s about which tool is the best for you for the job at hand. Expect practical tips for different workflows and software tools configurations.
