  • Insights from a career conference interpreter, by Rachel Garcia Brewer
    For four hours on Saturday afternoon, March 10, Jacki Noh engaged two dozen participants at Golden Gate University in San Francisco in a very interactive class. Any passive participant was drawn in, not only by the interesting nature of the presentation but also by being asked to read from the overhead screen at unexpected times.

  • Getting started in subtitling, by Pamela Gilbert-Snyder
    On November 4, 2017, roughly 30 people attended a workshop on subtitling organized by the NCTA at Golden Gate University and led by Gabriel Dubois of GMD Linguistics. Mr. Dubois began with a brief history of subtitles, which started out as “inter-titles” for silent movies and all but disappeared with the advent of the first “talkies” in the 1920s, reappearing as closed captions on the BBC television network in 1938.

  • Getting acquainted with Trados, by Peter Nygaard
    Tuomas Kostiainen is a certified instructor of Trados Studio; he is extremely knowledgeable. His workshop entitled “Trados Studio 2017 for Beginners” held on Saturday, September 30 at Golden Gate University in San Francisco was definitely the source of a competent approach to the program.

  • Review of Jost Zetzsche’s Translation Matters, by Mimi Wessling
    As a historian of science and medicine, I’ve been translating for a long time, but it’s only in the past few years that I really thought I had become a translator. Reading Jost Zetzsche’s recently published Translation Matters, I’ve learned that I have a long way to go.

  • The other life of translators, by Hany Farag
    Professionals in any field of work share common traits associated with the training and nature of business in their particular profession. However, there are always individuals whose talents and skills extend beyond their core professional life into an “other life.”
    → Read more (members only).
  • Memories of Edith Fried, by Sylvia Korwek
    Translator, educator, master gardener, and wonderful all-around human being: Edith Fried was to many of us an invaluable mentor and friend.
