List of standard subject categories for a translation memory (TM) wanted (CAT Tools Technical Help)Discussion among translators, entitled: List of standard subject categories for a translation memory (TM) wanted. The Escapist : Forums : Religion and Politics : On the validity of translating religious textsI am utterly sick of the right-wing trolling that the mods are permitting on this forum so I thought I'd make a post about religion. Lots of anti-theists here like to appeal to English translations of ancient texts as proof of how bad the religion is, ignoring all possibility that interpretation plays a factor in how the meaning of that text comes into being. Words rarely translate directly into other languages while carrying the same nuance because the meaning of words is largely a product of the consensus of how they are used in a culture, and different languages tend to have different cultures. For example, "boef" in French just means "cow", but thanks to the Norman invasion "boef" entered English as "beef" and developed the connotation of "cows for eating" rather than "the animal for pulling plows and wagons" because the Normans, the people who used the French word most, were the people most likely to actually be able to afford eating lots of beef. Well, a great example of just how ridiculously inaccurate a translation can be came up in my studies of Anglo-Saxon. I'm translating passages of AElfric's translation of Genesis from Latin to Old English into Modern English as a study exercise, and I came across a funny bit in his rendition of the story of Lot in Sodom. When it describes the evils of Sodom, it says words which I would translate as: "The people were so disgraceful, that they were full of perversity that went against nature, that (what they did) was so foul that it shames me to openly say it, but it wasn't at all with women." You don't need to be a Biblical scholar I hope to recognize that AElfric made an editorial decision there. So I guess there's not a super huge amount of discussion value to this, I just wanted a break from mindless partisan cheerleading. But the next time you're about to argue, "But it says in the Bible...!" have a good think about who wrote that translation and what their agenda might have been.

21.08.2012 GALA Blog » Translation Forum Russia − A Place to Find New Partners in Russia and the CIS23 August 2012 Translation Forum Russia − A Place to Find New Partners in Russia and the CIS Each year the conference brings together the managers of the major language service providers in Russia and the CIS such as Logrus, Janus, Roid, and Exprimo. This makes TFR an ideal venue for those wishing to expand their business to new markets in Russia and the CIS, and find new partners and sub-contractors. ”We have made every effort to fill our program with as many events as possible that encourage meeting new people and informal communication, including a welcome drink, networking, coffee breaks, excursions and, last but not least, the gala night,’ says Yelena Kislova, founder of the Business Bureau of the Association of Interpreters, and a co-organizer of TFR. ”The conference is the right place to meet new business contacts. And what’s more, as the third day of the conference coincides with the industry’s holiday(Translator’s Day), we will pay particular attention to the closing part of the conference. We will have some surprises for you!” Another reason that the conference appeals to industry professionals is the Customer Section which was set up this year. Among those companies who have already confirmed their attendance at TFR are Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Kaspersky Lab, and TNK. “Understanding the needs of actual customers and tendencies among them is what makes successful LSPs stand out,” says Konstantin Dranch, author of the Reputation Ranking of the top one hundred Russian LSPs (translationrating.ru) and a member of the TFR organizing committee. “Actual customers represent the conference’s most prestigious attendees.” Traditionally, the conference will be followed by training sessions and workshops that will interest both LSP managers and freelance translators. The following training sessions will be held in English: Jessica Rathke. How to Create a Performance-Driven Sales Team in the Translation Industry.
