NEW BOOK ALERT! Translation, Interpreting and Technological Change: Innovations in Research, Practice and Training by Marion Winters (Anthology Editor), Sharon Deane-Cox (Anthology Editor) and Ursula Böser (Anthology Editor) Description The digital era is characterised by technological advances that increase the speed and breadth of knowledge turnover within the economy and society. This book examines the impact of these technological advances on translation and interpreting and how new technologies are changing the very nature of language and communication.
Reflecting on the innovations in research, practice and training that are associated with this turbulent landscape, chapters consider what these shifts mean for translators and interpreters. Technological changes interact in increasingly complex and pivotal ways with demographic shifts, caused by war, economic globalisation, changing social structures and patterns of mobility, environmental crises, and other factors. As such, researchers face new and often cross-disciplinary fields of inquiry, practitioners face the need to acquire and adopt novel skills and approaches, and trainers face the need to train students for working in a rapidly changing landscape of communication technology. This book brings together advances and challenges from the different but intertwined perspectives of translation and interpreting to examine how the field is changing in this rapidly evolving environment.

Quebec has a desperate need for sign language interpreters, in both French and English. There are currently only around 250 interpreters across the province, but advocates say there needs to be double that number to meet the demand. "If we don't have a pool of interpreters to feed the system, then the system is always going to be at a loss," said Cynthia Benoit, at Service D'Interprétation Visuel et Tactile (SIVET). SIVET is a non-profit that recruits and places sign language interpreters for health-care and government services. Benoit is Deaf and works with an interpreter. She says the lack of interpreters greatly impacts deaf people, especially when they need to go to school or the doctor. "The doctor's not able to explain everything clearly to the patient. For example, the consequences of the diagnosis or the treatment. And so it affects not only the deaf person, but also that health-care professional just trying to do their job," she told CTV News. According to advocates, there has been a 350 per cent increase in the demand for interpretation services since 2016 because of video relay services. The service allows people with hearing disabilities to use sign language to communicate over the phone.

An American Medical Association study found that 43% of non-native speakers who were hospitalized communicated without an interpreter during admissions and 40% lacked linguistics support after admission. Lack of adequate translation and interpreting services isn’t just an inconvenience, it is dangerous and potentially life-threatening. The National Institutes of Health found that language barriers lead to miscommunication between clinicians and patients, impacting patient satisfaction, quality of healthcare delivery, and patient safety. Not surprisingly, studies show that patients who face language barriers have poorer health outcomes compared to those who speak the local language.

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.
