  • Cultural Dislocation Through Translation

    Cultural Dislocation Through Translation

    Intercultural Communication Studies XIV: 4 2005 Said Faiq CULTURAL DISLOCATION THROUGH TRANSLATION Said Faiq American University of Sharjah Introduction Translation, in its academic, professional and anthropological meanings, remains one of the main means through which texts of one culture are made available in another. It should, in theory, be the site of a potentially fruitful clash of different cultures and particularly vital in the case of translation from those supposedly weaker and subordinate cultures into dominant ones, as in the case of translation from Arabic into English and French, for example (cf. Faiq, 2004). This notion of translating not only covers the traditional definition of translation, transfer of texts from one language to another, but also, and more importantly, texts written in one language but which originate in or concern cultures other than that of the language in which they are written. Over the last two decades or so, many translation scholars have stressed that translation, by necessity, involves manipulation and subversion of linguistic and cultural traditions, particularly those emanating from the so- called third world. Of course, within translation studies this shift of focus, from issues of fidelity and equivalence still shocks traditionalists who persist in their belief in value-free translation, as well as in the fact that translation cannot but refer to the transfer of texts from one language to another, rather than subsuming representation of others without any actual transfer of texts. This is more ideologically relevant particularly to post-colonial contexts. Referring to Venuti’s (1995) notions of transparency, invisibility and fluency, Susan Bassnett (1998) appropriately argues that such a translation project always favours the target readers, so much so that the source text, its culture and readers become insignificant.
  • Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU

    Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU

    Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU A project lifecycle, from content creation to final print. September 26, 2019 www.idemtranslations.com EXECUTIVE BRIEF Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU Ready to commercialize your product abroad? With regulatory approvals in the works, it’s time to plan the next step in your product distribution cycle. For many medical devices and biotech products, this means creating a multilingual IFU that ships directly with your product around the globe. This executive brief walks you through the decision-making steps necessary to plan and execute an in-box multilingual IFU, from drafting the content to sealing the box. A bit of advance planning will go a long way to ensuring that your product launch is stress-free. Step #1: Content Clearly, you need to draft your English IFU content as the first step on the road to a multilingual IFU. When possible, it is worth spending a little extra effort on the IFU content to ensure it is crystal-clear before the verbiage is locked down. This linguistic clarity will save you time (and money) in the future. Here are several easy things that you can do that pay off future dividends in terms of managing a multilingual IFU: 1. use international measurements Outside the US, metric units of measurement (mm, cm, m, ml) and temperatures in Celsius are far more common than feet, inches, and degrees Fahrenheit. If you only include the typical US measurements, your translators will need to ask how you wish to convert the numbers for use abroad. By including the international measurements (either alone or in tandem with the US measurements), you can perform those conversions up front and avoid questions during the translation process.

Laughing at “normality”: Gerd Brantenberg’s Egalias døtre in translation 1 Laughing at “normality”: Gerd Brantenberg’s Egalias døtre in translation Luise von Flotow, Ida Hove Solberg and Enora Lessinger Introduction1 1 Introduced to feminist wordplay and neologism in the books I read as I was nursing small children in the late 1970s, I remember laughing till the tears came: Mary Daly’s Gyn/Ecology. The Metaethics of Radical Feminism (1978) was my first exposure to the daringly creative and inventive subversion of conventional language or “malespeak” a subversion she deploys provocatively in the preface and introduction to this book. Her work and other contemporary writers’ disruption of mainstream “malestream” language that had arrogantly placed “man” in first position as the representative of the human race and denigrated women, girls, and female pre-occupations were absolutely hilarious.
  • Post-Editing in Practice – Process, Product and Networks

    Post-Editing in Practice – Process, Product and Networks

    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 31 – January 2019 Introduction: Post-editing in practice – Process, product and networks Lucas Nunes Vieira, University of Bristol Elisa Alonso, Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Seville Lindsay Bywood, University of Westminster, London ABSTRACT The potential benefits of integrating machine translation into human translation workflows are now widely recognised. In many sectors of the translation industry, translators’ throughput is improved with the use of machine translation as a tool in the translating process. Post-editing of machine translation is also a service in its own right, with specific guidelines and, more recently, an international standard. We introduce this special issue by providing a brief overview of post-editing as a practice, service and research topic. Contributions to the issue are then presented. The issue moves from a magnified perspective of translators’ work to important aspects of translation products, translators’ attitudes and translator training. It has four themes: the post-editing process; reception of post-edited products; attitudes and perceptions; and competence, training and education. KEYWORDS Post-editing, machine translation, computer-assisted translation, CAT, MT, MTPE, PEMT, translation technology, translator education, human-computer interaction. Machine translation (MT) quality has improved considerably in previous years. Recent MT improvements are largely due to the rise of neural MT, a relatively new approach to MT development based on artificial neural networks (Bahdanau et al. 2014). Neural MT has significantly advanced MT research, but it too has weaknesses (Castilho et al. 2017). In professional contexts where translations are public-facing products, therefore, MT usually requires human post-editing. This was the case decades ago when MT systems first appeared, and it is still the case now.
  • Translating the Exiled Self: Reflections on Translation and Censorship*

    Translating the Exiled Self: Reflections on Translation and Censorship*

    Intercultural Communication Studies XIV: 4 2005 Samar Attar TRANSLATING THE EXILED SELF: REFLECTIONS ON TRANSLATION AND CENSORSHIP* Samar Attar Independent Researcher Self-Translating and censorship Translators tend to select foreign literary texts for translation into their mother-tongue for different reasons. Sometimes, their selection is based on the fame of a certain writer among his or her own people, or for the awarding of a prestigious international prize to a writer, or on the recommendation of an authoritative figure: a scholar, a critic, or a publisher. At other times, however, the opposite can be true. A writer who is not known among his or her own people is translated into another language, because his or her writing subverts the values of the national tradition, or destroys certain clichés about other nations, or simply because his or her work appeals to the translator.1 But we should not entertain the illusion that literary translators are always free agents. Although their literary taste and ideology may play an important role in their selection of foreign texts they often have to consider the literary, political and economic climate of their time. They simply do not translate texts because they like them. They are very much aware of the fact that translation cannot be brought to a fruitful end unless other authoritative bodies support them, and unless a publisher is found at the end of the ordeal. In short, personal, literary, social, political and economic factors always play an important role in the selection and translation of a foreign text. Normally the literary translator, who selects or is helped in selecting a foreign text, is expected to be a master of at least two languages including his or her own native tongue.

    Solar Decathlon Website: English to Chinese Translation A Major Qualifying Project Report (Professional Writing) Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted By Yunqiu Sun 05/30/13 Advisors: Professor Lorraine Higgins Professor Jennifer Rudolph P a g e | 2 Abstract WPI is part of a team competing in Solar Decathlon China. For its Communications Contest, our team is generating a website, brochure, and signage to engage the audience in learning about the house we designed, “Solatrium”, and get inspired from our Solar Decathlon experience. This MQP incorporates an English to Chinese translation of the website, brochure, signage, video walkthrough, and dinner menu. It also provides information on the house design, the target audience for the Chinese website, and experts’ advice on translation. I compared my actual translation challenges and strategies to those proposed by literature. I conclude translation is not just about literal translation or reproducing sources into another language. It is also about making persuasive and culturally appropriate adaptations to attract the audience through their interests. This project reflects language and cultural differences through the experience of translation. P a g e | 3 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the support of Professor Lorraine Higgins and Professor Jennifer Rudolph who provided helpful comments and encouragement throughout this project, and Professor Xin Xin who proofread

    Applying Translation Quality Standards to a Certification Procedure for U.S

    Applying Translation Quality Standards to a Certification Procedure for U.S. Language Service Providers Jason Hall University of Denver, University College Capstone Project for Master of Liberal Studies November 15, 2011 Cris Silva, M.A. Capstone Advisor Alison Nishi, M.A. Academic Director Upon the Recommendation of the Department James Davis, Ph.D. Dean Hall -ii Abstract Many translation quality standards have been implemented to regulate the provision and procurement of language services. However, in the absence of a standardized procedure to certify U.S. language service providers (LSPs), the industry lacks consensus with regard to requirements, procedures, and expectations. This project establishes the need for such a procedure and proposes an LSP Certification Procedure based on existing quality standards. Through a review and analysis of existing translation quality standards, an interview with a key stakeholder, and the presentation of an LSP Certification Procedure, this project concludes that the U.S. language services industry requires a procedure to certify LSPs and that such a procedure may be designed and implemented based on existing standards.

  • The Best of Both Worlds: from Volunteer Subtitling to Professional Subtitling

    The Best of Both Worlds: from Volunteer Subtitling to Professional Subtitling

    transLogos 2020 Vol 3 Issue 2 Çavuşoğlu, Ebru, pp. 83–102 © Diye Global Communications https://dx.doi.org/10.29228/transLogos.28 diye.com.tr | [email protected] The Best of Both Worlds: From Volunteer Subtitling to Professional Subtitling * Ebru ÇAVUŞOĞLU The prevailing technological feasibility has enabled the rise of the digital era and has contributed to the seemingly changing nature of translation. One of the implications of this shift has been articulated in the area of Audiovisual Translation with the emergence of online communities of volunteer subtitle translators. This paper explores the emerging phenomenon of ‘volunteer subtitling’ and tries to shed light on its role in the transition to ‘professional subtitling.’ Volunteer subtitling platforms are broad communities of practice that consist of thousands of actively involved members. Despite the increasing interest in investigating various issues regarding online volunteer translation, not much is known about the process of transition from the volunteering world into the professional one. Using the most popular Turkish subtitling platforms (Turkcealtyazi.org and Planetdp.org) as a case study, this paper will present the very first insights into this transition through an analysis of a survey with translators who started their subtitling practice as volunteers and then moved into the professional world. Based on the analysis of the respondents’ experiences, it will be argued that the volunteer praxis and the active support of the online community strategically contribute to the improvement of a wide array of translation skills and open up the door for the move into the professional world. In doing so, this paper will also shed a light on both volunteer and professional environments from various perspectives like working conditions, the translation process, types of the work, and translator motivation.

Association for Machine Translation in the Americas http://www.amtaweb.org ©2015 The Authors. These articles are licensed under a Creative Commons 3.0 license, no derivative works, attribution, CC-BY-ND. Introduction The fourth Workshop on Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP4) was organised for November 3rd, 2015, in Miami, USA, as a workshop of the XVth MT Summit. This was the fourth in a series of workshops organised since 2012 (WPTP1 – San Diego 2012, WPTP2 – Nice 2013, WPTP3 – Vancouver 2014). The accepted papers for WPTP4 cover a range of topics such as the teaching of post- editing skills, measuring the cognitive effort of post-editing, and quality assessment of post-edited output. The papers were also book-ended by two invited talks by Elliott Macklovitch (Independent Consultant) and John Tinsley (Iconic Translation Machines). Elliott Macklovitch’s talk was entitled “What Translators Need to Become Happy Post- Editors” while John Tinsley’s talk was entitled “What MT Developers Are Doing to Make Post-Editors Happy”. By juxtaposing these two points of view we hoped to provide an interesting frame for attendees where the views of users and developers were represented. We sincerely thank the authors of the papers as well as our two invited speakers for sharing their research.
  • Translation Project Organizations: a Perspective on KALIMA

    Translation Project Organizations: a Perspective on KALIMA

    Arab World English Journal AWEJ INTERNATIONAL PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL ISSN: 2229-9327 جمةل اللغة الانلكزيية يف العامل العريب AWEJ Special issue on Translation No. (2) 2013 Pp.51-66 Translation Project Organizations: A perspective on KALIMA Radia Kesseiri Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies, Leeds University Mariam Bani Hashem Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies, Leeds University Abstract In recent years, Globalisation has entailed an increasingly expanding and prosperous development of translation projects with high volume translations in the Arab World. This brings up to surface the issue of quality in translation and in particular quality in translation project organizations, which is a crucial factor to their success and longevity. This paper aims at providing a brief account of how the concept of Translation Projects has developed, with particular insight into the Arab world, and attempt to decipher how quality in translation project organizations is achieved through an extensive process of editing and revising. The study will look at KALIMA as an example for a translation project in the Arab World. KALIMA is an Arabic word with an English equivalent that is ‗word‘. The KALIMA Project is based in the United Arab Emirates, and is a very ambitious initiative funded by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage. This study will be accordingly divided into four main sections. Firstly, this paper will look at the development of translation projects in general and in the Arab world in particular. Secondly, it will explore theories behind translation and quality by looking into scholarly works in order to epitomise the various strategies and techniques used by translation project organizations to produce and ensure quality in translation.
