Until now, I have never had the luck to read such a well written translation from someone who was not familiar with the text, the work that we do or the audience that we target. The writer found the right balance between sticking as close to the text as possible, but adapting it as much as necessary.

    “It’s good for them but not so for me”: Inside the sign language interpreting call centre The InternationalInternational Journal Journal for for Translation & Int&erpreting Interpreting Research trans-int.org-int.org Jemina Napier Heriot-Watt University, Scotland [email protected] Robert Skinner Heriot-Watt University, Scotland [email protected] Graham H. Turner Heriot-Watt University, Scotland [email protected] DOI: 10.12807/ti.109202.2017.a01 Abstract: This paper reports on findings from an international survey of sign language interpreters who have experience of working remotely via video link, either in a video relay service or as a video remote interpreter. The objective of the study was to identify the common issues that confront interpreters when working in these remote environments and ascertain what aspects of interpreting remotely via a video link are working successfully. The international reach of this survey demonstrates how working remotely via video link can be an integral part of bringing about social equality for deaf sign language users; yet according to interpreters who work in these services, ineffective video interpreting policies, poor public awareness and lack of training are identified as areas needing improvement. Keywords: video remote interpreting, sign language, interpreter experiences, interpreter perspectives, survey research 1. Introduction Due to the advent of technology, an increasing number of interpreter-mediated interactions are now taking place via the use of video. Interpreters are increasingly required to be involved in: (i) video conference interpreting (VCI), where there are two locations and the interpreter is in either one; or (ii) remote interpreting (RI), where all participants are together in one location and the interpreter is in a separate, remote location.

    Developing Quality Cost Effective Interpreting and Translating Services

    Developing Quality Cost Effective Interpreting & Translating Services FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS IN IRELAND National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism (NCCRI) i ii FOREWORD Over the past few years, the NCCRI has been involved in working with Government bodies to improve services to members of minority ethnic groups. This work has ranged from involvement in drafting the National Action Plan Against Racism (2005–2008) (NPAR) and in contributing to intercultural strategies arising from commitments in the NPAR, such as the Health Services Executive’s National Intercultural Health Strategy 2007–2012; to managing cross-border research on improving services to minority ethnic groups in Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland.1 Throughout this work, a recurring theme has been the need for professional, accurate, high quality interpreting and translating services for people with low proficiency in English; this was confirmed in the NCCRI Advocacy Paper2 Interpreting, Translation and Public Bodies in Ireland: The Need for Policy and Training in 2007. Many migrants to Ireland speak some English or attend English language classes; however, this does not necessarily mean they have sufficient English to interact effectively with Government bodies; this is particularly true in stressful and critical situations, for example in a health care or justice setting. The increasing diversity in languages spoken in Ireland today means that provision of interpreting and translating has become a pressing need if people with low proficiency in English are to experience equality of access and outcomes in their interaction with key Government services such as health, justice, education and housing. Recognising that there had been little research on the need for, and experiences of, interpreting and translation services in Ireland to date, the NCCRI approached the Office of the Minister for Integration seeking support for the current study.

Abstract Assassination of Berta Cáceres (1971-2016), a Maya-Lenka Woman from Honduras in 2016, shows in a brutal way, that the recognition of indigenous religions in Abia Yala-Latin America is not only an interreligious, but also an economic and political challenge. Indigenous people believe that, as animals and plants, they belong to nature, where they are born, cultivate and die. All elements of nature are alive, have a soul. So, destroying nature for big transnational projects without consulting the people, especially indigenous people, who live in the concerned regions means destroying their (im)material existence which is in inherent relationship to spiritual ¨Elisabeth Steffens, PhD is an expert on Latin America.

    Press Release Compart AG Comparting 2015: Impetus for Digital Communication

    Press release Compart AG Comparting 2015: Impetus for digital communication Thursday, August 6, 2015 [Böblingen, August 6, 2015] – Comparting October 15–16, 2015 in Böblingen: Document processing becoming a customer communica- tion hub—industry event even more international Comparting is fast approaching. This year’s motto, “Impetus for digital communication: Ditch the pages and focus on content,” underscores why future customer communication will revolve around multi-channel-capable document processing. The international forum for Multi-Channel Docu- ment and Output Management will be held on October 15th and 16th, 2015 in Böblingen near Stuttgart. Harald Grumser, Compart owner and founder, insists that companies need to move away from the letter-sized format. In his presentation, the CEO explains why an 8.5 X 11 page is highly unsuited to the new world of communication, where displaying doc- uments on the web and mobile devices makes generating them in a uni- versal format necessary. Document processing then becomes more about transferring content, with creation and delivery effected outside the confines of the given appli- cation. Page size and output channel are therefore not selected inside the application, but much later than is generally practiced today. Grumser will also demonstrate some promising solutions and explain why current trends such as HTML5 are just a single step in the long journey to size- and device-independent document processing. IBM and Allianz identify potential for optimization The world of document and output management is in the throes of change, as reflected this year in the forum’s usual array of high-profile presentations. Renowned companies like Allianz and IBM will explore dif- ferent aspects of modern document processing (input/output workflow, dynamic output) and explain why there is still considerable potential for Compart AG Otto-Lilienthal-Str.
