NOTIS presents

Sight Translation and Glossary Building

Note: Please bring your laptop, tablet or smart phone tomorrow if available. We will use device for glossary building exercises. We will be learning some Google sheets functionalities (free tool).

This double session will focus on two topics of interest to all professional interpreters: sight translation and glossary building.

We start by reviewing the protocols and techniques for sight translation: a skill which is much harder than most people suppose and which we interpreters are often asked to apply to documents which are too long and too technical. When is sight translation appropriate, and when should you decline? How do you do that without providers getting upset? And once you accept the challenge, how do you create a reading that is both accurate and easy to listen to and understand? All these topics will be covered in this workshop, with practice as well.

Our second focus of the day is glossaries. We will discuss the true purpose of glossaries to professional interpreters, as well as practice building effective glossaries. We will look at some free apps and software options that can help interpreters keep their terminology handy!

This workshop is recommended for both novice and experienced interpreters. While we will use examples from the healthcare field, what you will learn will help you be a better interpreter in any venue.
