SUMMARY:Top 20 Most Difficult Medical Terms to Translate
DESCRIPTION:Save time and gain newfound confidence in your medical translation when you master the top 20 terms that cause you the most doubt!\nThis webinar will be presented in Spanish. \nThere are always some medical terms that raise doubts when you’re translating. They are often basic and appear in practically all medical translations. Some come to you almost automatically\, and you know they work in the translation. Yet\, you always have to look them up—or at least you should but can’t always do so—because you aren’t entirely sure of their meaning. \nFrom a list of the most searched terms in the most commonly used medical dictionaries\, presenter Pablo Mugüerza has selected the top 20 terms that cause medical translators to question themselves\, including open label\, trial and study\, tolerability and tolerance\, and more. Learning how to master their translation\, and that of other closely related terms\, will help you save time and gain newfound confidence in your work. \nAlthough this may seem like a webinar for beginners\, it is anything but! Even intermediate and advanced professionals will benefit from understanding basic medical terms. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nSpend less time documenting common terms\nProduce quality translation based on understanding\, not repetition\nImprove your confidence in your medical translation ability\nThink and problem solve like an experienced medical translator\n\nAbout the Presenter\nPablo Mugüerza is an English>Spanish translator with more than 36 years of experience in medical translation. He graduated with a degree in medicine in 1987\, and since then has worked for a number of well-known translation agencies in Spain and internationally\, in addition to translating for many major pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations. Since 2009\, he has also been involved in translator training\, and he has presented more than a hundred workshops\, courses\, and conferences in both English and Spanish. He is the author of the Manual of Clinical Trial Protocols: English-to-Spanish Translation. Pablo will be the Medical Division’s distinguished speaker at ATA’s 63rd Annual Conference.

SUMMARY:Localization of Medical and Pharmaceutical Patent Translation
DESCRIPTION:When the smallest error in medical and pharmaceutical translation can mean the difference between invalidation or a successful defense\, localization is critical. Every little thing matters.\nJoin this ATA webinar for a general introduction to the world of localization\, intellectual property\, and trademarks in patent translation\, with examples from the fields of pharmaceutical and engineering patents. The presenters will cover the steps necessary to identify ambiguities in meaning between closely related languages; meet the challenges resulting from differences between source and target languages; understand left-to-right versus right-to-left language issues; and handle Romanized versus non-Romanized languages. \nThe increasing role of machine translation (MT)\, including the use of terminology management and glossaries created in computer-assisted translation tools\, and what it means for the future of patent translation will also be discussed. \nAnd finally\, the presenters will share their top tips for dealing with agencies and direct clients\, including deadlines\, clients’ requests for using MT\, quality assurance\, and back translation. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nUnderstand the legal language of intellectual property and trademarks\nRecognize the common pitfalls of medical and pharmaceutical patent translation\nEvaluate the advantages for medical translators and interpreters entering the field\nUnderstand the advantages and disadvantages of using MT for patents\nKeep clients happy and in-house costs and/or time expenditures reasonable\n\nAbout the Presenters\nAfaf Steiert is president and co-founder of Afaf Translations. She obtained her Masters of Science degree in plant molecular biology from University of Basel\, Switzerland. Afaf works as an Arabic conference interpreter and oversees medical translation services at Afaf Translations. \nMatthias Steiert is co-founder and chief operating officer of Afaf Translations\, specializing in language services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.

SUMMARY:Ethically Speaking … Translation Technologies\, Ethics\, and Translator Education
DESCRIPTION:Learn about translation technologies and how they fit within the wider spectrum of cultural\, social\, political\, and professional concerns.\nWhen translation technologies first became widespread\, the focus was on learning to use them and to integrate them into translation processes. Ethical issues received scant attention in the early days\, but as technologies—including various forms of artificial intelligence—become increasingly pervasive\, they are shaping the way we view the world and are changing the language industry at a speed and scale not previously experienced\, bringing tremendous opportunities\, but also exposing us to new risks. \nThe time is ripe to discuss questions of fairness\, justice\, and responsibility in relation to tool use and to consider how translation technologies fit within the wider spectrum of cultural\, social\, political\, and professional concerns. Some of the more specific issues to be discussed in the webinar include the ownership\, sharing\, and commoditization of data and resources; confidentiality and privacy; professional identity\, autonomy\, workflow\, remuneration\, and job satisfaction; and risk and responsibility. \nBringing the conversation back specifically to education\, we’ll explore how translator-educators can take steps to prepare the next generation to engage with translation technologies in an ethical way by considering the what\, why\, and how of integrating technology-related ethics into translator education. \nThis webinar was organized with the assistance of ATA’s Educators Division. \nYou will learn:\n\nThe basics of data-driven approaches (including neural MT) and how such approaches are sensitive to data (potentially leading to algorithmic bias)\nHow linked data can lead to a privacy breach\nWays the various translation stakeholders (e.g.\, agencies\, translators\, clients\, end users) can be affected by integration of technologies into the translation workflow\nThe connections between translation technologies and sustainability\nWhere and how ethics can fit into education on translation technologies\n\nAbout the Presenter\nLynne Bowker is a certified French-to-English translator-educator with over 25 years of experience. She has an MA in Translation and a PhD in Language Engineering. Lynne is a professor at the School of Translation and Interpretation at the University of Ottawa in Canada where she teaches courses on translation technologies and directs the Machine Translation Literacy Project. She is the author and co-author of several books on translation technology\, including Computer-Aided Translation Technology (2002) and Machine Translation and Global Research (2019). She recently contributed a chapter on translation technologies to the Routledge Handbook of Translation and Ethics (2021).

SUMMARY:Working Without Pain
DESCRIPTION:Learn strategies and movements that will help you break the vicious cycle of work\, tension\, and pain!\nHave you ever noticed that your posture gets worse the longer you work? As translators and interpreters\, we put in long hours. But while our brain works overtime\, our body tends to be an afterthought—until discomfort\, tightness\, and pain make us sit up and take notice. \nThe good news is that most types of shoulder\, neck\, and back pain can be prevented\, relieved\, and even fully healed by means of gentle movement.\nJoin this webinar to learn strategies and movements that will help you break the vicious cycle of work\, tension\, and pain. Bring your questions and come prepared to move a little\, learn a lot\, and feel better afterwards. \nYou will learn how to\n\nIdentify causes of work-related neck\, shoulder\, back and hip pain\nRelieve acute neck\, back\, and shoulder tightness with simple movements\nUse strategic movement breaks to guard against pain\nManage situations when you are in pain but working on a tight deadline\nEvaluate what types of movement are suitable for you\n\nAbout the Presenter\nEva Stabenow\, MA\, CT (DE<>EN)\, NCPT has always loved her work as a medical translator and digital health writer. She was devastated when chronic shoulder\, neck\, and wrist pain made it excruciatingly painful to do her job 10 years ago. After visiting every healthcare professional imaginable\, she finally found relief through movement in the form of “corrective” Pilates and began to study the method with the goal of helping others find similar relief. Having completed a comprehensive 500-hour teacher training program and spent hundreds of hours teaching at local studios in Nashville\, Tennessee\, she fulfilled her dream of opening a home studio in 2018. At Sunroom Pilates\, she loves to teach others—both online and in person—how to heal their bodies through movement. \nEva recently completed a graduate certificate in Public Health at the University of Alabama Birmingham and is currently working on her master’s in public health while also pursuing one of the most widely respected personal training certifications through National Academy of Sports Medicine.
