This book is offering an in-depth, interdisciplinary analysis of Arabic and English language narratives of the Islamic State terrorist group. It investigates how these narratives changed across national and media boundaries. Utilizing insights and methodologies from translation studies, communication studies and sociology, Islamic State in Translation explores how multimodal narratives of IS and survivors were fragmented, circulated and translated in the context of the terrorist action carried out by Islamic State against the people and culture of Iraq, as well as against other victims around the world. Closely examining four atrocities, the Speicher massacre, the enslavement of Ezidi women, execution videos and videos of the destruction of Iraqi cultural heritage, Balsam Mustafa explores how the Arabic and English-language narratives of these events were translated, developed, and fragmented. In doing so, she advances a socio-narrative theory and reconsiders translation in the new media environment, within a broader socio-political field of inquiry.

Speaker: Gabriel Karandyšovský Date:: Friday, May 10th, 2024 Numbers don’t lie: The language industry continues growing, and the demand for language services is at an all-time high. And yet, we find ourselves in a peculiar moment of the industry’s growth trajectory, with professionals and companies wondering how their future will look, with AI especially being seen as the great disruptor coming for our jobs. Perhaps surprisingly, localization managers on the client-side report that AI is driving renewed interest in languages from their companies. Is there hope that AI is not on the hunt for our jobs after all? AI will continue to shape our industry, so how do we reinvent the rules of the game to enable us to continue growing personally and professionally? In this one-hour session, we’ll talk about the global state of the industry in 2023/2024, the transformation we’re undergoing. We will also shed light on what is the reality of those first in line tasked with bringing AI in localization to life — the localization teams — and discuss prospects for future reinvention, in a world where human and machine thrive alongside each other.

Cheung, Liu, Moratto, and their contributors examine how corpora can be effectively harnessed to benefit interpreting practice and research in East Asian settings. In comparison to the achievements made in the field of corpus- based translation studies, the use of corpora in interpreting is not comparable in terms of scope, methods, and agenda. One of the predicaments that hampers this line of inquiry is the lack of systematic corpora to document spoken language. This issue is even more pronounced when dealing with East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, which are typologically different from European languages. As language plays a pivotal role in interpreting research, the use of corpora in interpreting within East Asian contexts has its own distinct characteristics as well as methodological constraints and concerns. However, it also generates new insights and findings that can significantly advance this research field. A valuable resource for scholars of scholars focusing on corpus interpreting, particularly those dealing with East Asian languages.
The first of two introductory webinars presented by The University of Surrey, Centre for Translation Studies, aimed at tackling the issues surrounding AI and its impact on the language industry. Navigating the constant influx of news about AI and its impact on the language industry can be overwhelming. Faced with contrasting perspectives on the benefits of AI and concerns about staying relevant in a world where AI appears to take centre-stage, language professionals need to address two pressing questions: - Can AI-driven tools help enhance your capabilities and strengthen your role as a language professional in today’s market?
- What are the most compelling arguments you can present to your clients about AI, to underscore the fundamental role that translators and interpreters continue to play in the era of AI?
This first webinar will explore essential terms and concepts in the AI domain, from deep learning to neural machine translation and large language models. The session seeks to establish common ground, enabling translators and interpreters to navigate discussions about the capabilities of AI effectively, alongside an initial exploration of risks associated with using AI.

Her work has been used in court cases in multiple countries, and her translation of a prominent family’s story of resistance and loss in the Assyrian genocide is expected to be published in 2024.
John Silva was suddenly taken to Hartford Hospital following a brief stroke-like attack last year. He is deaf and has relied on the hospital’s American Sign Language interpreting service for over 40 years. John and his wife Kim, who is hard of hearing, expected to have access to in-person interpreters. However, no in-person sign language interpreters were available when they arrived. Medical staff could also not find the video remote interpreting (VRI) system, typically on an iPad or computer. Kim Silva said the staff eventually located a VRI system, but only had access to it for an hour since other patients also needed it. John Silva was left to wait six hours for an interpreter to arrive. An in-person interpreter eventually arrived to care for another patient but was able to stay with John and Kim for an hour. Ultimately, John needed to undergo a series of examinations and scans with lip-read instructions and relied on a speech-to-text transcriber he provided during the discharge process. The Silvas, of Hartford, are just one of hundreds of deaf, hard of hearing and deafblind Connecticut residents experiencing issues accessing sign language interpreting services at medical centers across the state, resulting in worsened health outcomes for the community. “Something’s wrong with the system,” John Silva signed.
Whisper is a technology based on artificial intelligence to transcribe audios. It consists of uploading an audio file to your system, which analyzes and transcribes all the words spoken in the audio, making your transcription easier. Whisper, in its current version, is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, using AI to process audio and convert its content into text. This version was trained with more than one million hours of audio, surpassing the 680,000 hours of its previous version and reducing errors by 10 to 20 percent. OpenAI recommends it as a more reliable tool for transcriptions. Although it has occasional errors, it is more efficient than most, being fast, effective and free to use.
A film about the life of Jesus made in 1979 has just been translated into its 2,100th language and the group behind the film expects to use artificial intelligence to add an estimated 200 more languages by 2025. The executive heading up outreach for the film “Jesus” said Monday that AI is being deployed to speed up translations in the same way Bible translators are using the technology to advance their written work. “The AI applications that we’re looking at when it comes to translation are in step with the Bible translation community organizations such as Wycliffe Bible Translators and others,” Josh Newell, executive director of the Jesus Film Project, said in an interview.
