More Problem Terms, Tips and Tricks for German-to-English Financial and Corporate Texts
The 80/20 principle says that a positive outcome can be achieved in a large proportion of cases by focusing on a subset of key issues. Following on from the successful “Pitfalls I” seminar held in December 2017, this one-day event again applies this rule to German-to-English financial and corporate texts. Core terms and phrases are examined and their different meanings discussed using real-life examples. In addition, the seminar looks more generally at Germanisms and other gremlins in German-to-English translation and heightens awareness of “proper” English solutions. Group exercises allow participants to test what they have learned, while the seminar materials offer a handy terminology resource and further reading. Active participation is sought and attendees are encouraged to send in terms for discussion up to two weeks in advance.
