Contents
The “Pitfalls” seminars apply the 80/20 principle to German-to-English translation by focusing on the subset of terms that cause the most grief in practice. This new seminar – the fifth in the series – focuses on the more general terms underlying translations in many types of corporate documents. Fachlich, grundsätzlich, Kompetenzen, Parameter, Träger, Verantwortlicher, Vertrieb: these and many other problem words will be examined, and their different meanings discussed, using real-life examples.
The seminar is split into two modules, which will cover different words and can be booked separately if desired. Exercises will allow participants to test what they have learned, while the seminar materials offer a handy terminology resource and reading list. Active participation is sought and attendees are encouraged to send in terms for discussion up to two weeks in advance.
At the end of this seminar, participants will have
- Gained an in-depth understanding of many general problem terms in German-to-English translations
- Be aware of a wide range of “proper” English solutions
- Tested their knowledge and practiced what they have learned
- Received a list of reference resources
Target group
The seminar is aimed at native and non-native translators of English corporate texts. It will be delivered in English.
