A fordító legnehezebb döntései

Nigel Wheatley brit fordító azokról a döntésekről beszél, amelyekben szabályok híján a fordítóé az utolsó szó.

Translators are presumed to be experts in the grammar of their target language and the terminology of the field they are dealing with. But what about those cases where they have to make a judgement call, where the rules of the target language are either imprecise or seem inappropriate for a given scenario? Every translator will find themselves in these situations, and some cases may come up repeatedly. This presentation will look at why a translator should keep a record of these judgement calls in their own personal style guide, what they should include in that style guide, and how they can use it as a tool in their marketing.

Vajon elégedett volt az ügyfelem a fordítással?

Michael Farrell, Olaszországban élő szabadúszó fordító bemutatja, hogyan készített elégedettségi felmérést a megrendelői között.

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. He closes the talk by saying what he has learnt from doing the survey and what he would do differently next time. The presentation is aimed at freelance translators who mainly work with end clients (or intend to do so in the future).
