  • 'Translating' Emotions: Nationalism in Contemporary Greek Cinema
    ‘Reading’ and ‘Translating’ Emotions: Nationalism in Contemporary Greek Cinema by Sophia Sakellis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Department of Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney October 2016 ABSTRACT This study explores emotions related to nationalism, and their manifestations in contemporary Greek cinema. It also investigates the reasons and mechanisms giving rise to nationalism, and how it is perceived, expressed and ‘translated’ into other cultures. A core focus within the nationalist paradigm is the theme of national identity, with social exclusion ideologies such as racism operating in the background. Two contemporary Greek films have been chosen, which deal with themes of identity, nationalism, xenophobia, anger and fear in different contexts. The study is carried out by drawing on the theories of emotion, language, translation and cinema, to analyse the visual and audio components of the two films and ascertain their translatability to an Australian audience. Both films depict a similar milieu to each other, which is plagued by the lingering nature of all the unresolved political and national issues faced by the Greek nation, in addition to the economic crisis, a severe refugee crisis, and externally imposed policy issues, as well as numerous other social problems stemming from bureaucracy, red tape and widespread state-led corruption, which have resulted in massive rates of unemployment and financial hardship that have befallen a major part of the population. In spite of their topicality, the themes are universal and prevalent in a number of countries to varying degrees, as cultural borders become increasingly integrated, both socially and economically.

  • “It's Good for Them but Not So for Me”: Inside the Sign Language
    “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.

  • Audio Description and Audio Subtitling in a Dubbing Country: Case Studies
    Audio description and audio subtitling in a dubbing country: Case studies Bernd Benecke Bavarian Broadcasting, Munich, Germany Abstract In many European countries foreign films are not dubbed but subtitled. An audio describer has to include all the written subtitles in his script and try to make the description fit in between. Dubbing countries like Spain, Italy and Germany are also used to combining audio description and audio subtitling – for different reasons. This presentation shows how audio subtitling affects the work of describers in a dubbing country like Germany. It will present examples from daily work to show how many different ways are used to deal with the subtitles. Introduction A new focus in the research on audio description is the interaction with the field of audio subtitling. In many European countries, foreign films (mainly with English dialogues) are not dubbed, but rather subtitled. In such a case, the work of the audio describer becomes more complicated, for he has to include all the written subtitles in his script and try to make the description fit in between. In the production process, sometimes more than one narrator is needed to make a distinction between what is subtitle and what is description. From time to time, audio description and audio subtitling in a dubbing country 99 the describer has to introduce the name of a character being subtitled, in order to make clear who is speaking. However, audio subtitling is not a common practice only in subtitling countries: dubbing countries like Spain, Italy and Germany are also used to combining audio description and audio subtitling.

    Matej Kovačević, Post-editing of MT output Hieronymus 1 (2014), 82-104 POST-EDITING OF MACHINE TRANSLATION OUTPUT WITH AND WITHOUT SOURCE TEXT Matej Kovačević Abstract Post-editing of machine translation output is a practice which aims to speed up translation production. There is still no agreement on whether post-editors should have access to the source text of the translations they are post-editing. The aim of this paper is to see how access to source text influences post-editors’ quality of work and their speed. An experiment was conducted among 22 graduate students of English, who post-edited two translations produced by Google Translate. The subjects were divided into two groups, with access to the source text for only one of the translations. Task duration and the number of corrected errors in the MT output were measured. Types of errors were further analysed. Contrary to expectations, access to source text was found not to have a considerable impact on speed. As expected, it did have an impact on the quality of the final translation. 1. Introduction Machine translation (MT) systems have been available to translators for 60 years, but they still cannot produce perfect translations. This is the reason why people are still apprehensive when it comes to using such systems. The development of MT systems has introduced a practice called post-editing of MT output whereby a machine translates the text and the translator (post-editor) revises the translation. This paper will explore that practice, more specifically the issue of whether the post-editor should have access to the source text (ST) when post-editing a translation.
