SUMMARY:Translating Spanish Corporate Documents: 10 Common Pitfalls
DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar as we delve into the pitfalls\, nuances\, and intricacies of translating Spanish corporate documents.\nWe’ll explore common pitfalls\, shed light on the nuances of business terminology in Spanish-speaking countries\, and discuss how it relates to the terminology used in Anglo-American jurisdictions. Focusing on 10 pitfalls often encountered when translating Spanish corporate documents\, this webinar begins with a brief overview of the major features of five main forms of doing business in Spanish-speaking countries\, showing how they match up (or don’t) with sole proprietorships\, partnerships\, limited liability companies\, and corporations in Anglo-American jurisdictions. \n“The Basics” examines common terms such as sociedad\, socio\, and societario\, for which the appropriate translation is not always obvious and depends on the specific corporate form that each entity adopts. Attention then turns to exploring frequently found invented and all-too-literal translations that are generally to be avoided\, as well as reviewing false friends and common ellipses that often puzzle translators. Sections on “weird stuff” and tricky expressions address aspects of corporate documents that may prove confusing\, such as cryptic phrases and stylistic differences that\, if overlooked\, can render English translations awkward. To conclude\, we examine some of the significant variations in corporate terminology as used in the U.S. and the U.K. that may eventually prompt miscues in translation. \nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\nGain insight into the main difficulties of translating corporate documents.\nLearn the appropriate terminology for each type of corporate enterprise.\nDistinguish between invented or overly-literal translations and more appropriate ones.\nLearn about false friends\, cryptic expressions\, and stylistic variations that may pose translation problems.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nRebecca Jowers is a Spanish>English freelance legal translator based in Madrid\, Spain. She taught legal English for 20 years in the LL.M. program “Máster en Asesoría Jurídica de Empresas” at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Law School\, having previously worked five years as an in-house legal translator for the Elzaburu intellectual property law firm.

SUMMARY:Translator Workstation Ergonomics and Related Physical Problems
DESCRIPTION:Attend this webinar to learn how to avoid the negative health consequences of sedentary behavior!\nWith a unique focus on the modern translator\, this webinar will unravel the perils of sedentary behavior and its intricate ties to health. You no longer have to rely on the vague promises of ergonomic solutions. Instead\, equip yourself with personalized strategies embracing exercise\, strategic breaks\, and science-backed ergonomic tactics. \nYou’ll learn about eye and upper-body anatomy and pathology related to prolonged sitting and the prevalence of physical problems among language professionals\, based on a recent industry-wide survey conducted by the speaker. You’ll hear about adjustments you can make to your workstation setup based on scientific evidence\, as well as features of conventional and ergonomic computer peripherals\, including desks and chairs that might improve your comfort. Alternatives to sitting will be covered as well. And because physical activity counteracts sedentarism\, best practices for taking breaks and exercise will also be discussed. \nYou’ll leave this webinar with a heightened awareness of the risks of prolonged computer use and a renewed commitment to your holistic health. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nAdjust your current workstation.\nMake new equipment choices.\nHelp prevent common upper-body and eye problems.\nHelp address existing problems.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nEmma Goldsmith\, a freelance Spanish>English medical translator\, brings over 25 years of expertise to the realm of clinical-trial documentation\, medical reports\, and scholarly articles.

SUMMARY:Know Your Worth: Learn to Speak “Client”
DESCRIPTION:What if you and your client spoke the same language? Learn to speak so you can build and grow your client relationships.\nAs language professionals\, we pride ourselves on being able to communicate. But all too often\, our clients and prospective clients simply don’t take notice of what we have said. We confuse them\, and they disappear. We give them lists of what we need\, and they ignore us. They often think of us as divas. Our dream would be to have clients understand us and give us what we need so we can bring them value. What usually happens\, however\, is that you and your client never understand each other. \nHow you speak to your client is as important as how you interpret. In fact\, you could almost say more important\, since your client may not even be one of those using your interpreting services! Which means that you need to learn to speak a new language: Client. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn how to:\n\nCommunicate so your client hears and understands you\nSend your messages at the best time\nAvoid saying the wrong things\n\nAbout the Presenter\nJulia Poger is a business\, conference and diplomatic interpreter fluent in English\, Russian\, and French. With over 30 years of experience working with governments\, NGOs\, corporations and international organizations\, Julia gives clients insights\, a roadmap\, and confidence to win more business at higher fees and with better terms. After launching her Know Your Worth seminar in 2002\, she has helped hundreds of interpreters\, translators\, public figures\, coaches\, and other service providers understand how to deliver their message to clients. Julia loves to travel\, and is able to order meals like a local within hours – though she is sometimes surprised at what she receives!

SUMMARY:Preserving Interpreter Neutrality: Avoiding the Pitfalls of Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Navigate the challenges of advocacy by gaining insight and learning practical strategies to preserve impartiality and neutrality.\nThe urge to help is natural for interpreters drawn to the profession by a desire to facilitate communication among people. By recognizing and acknowledging this urge and the motivations behind it\, as well as the crucial reasons why advocacy falls outside the purview of our profession\, we equip ourselves with the tools necessary to remain true to our mandate of neutrality and impartiality. The presenters will emphasize the importance of interpreter neutrality and provide practical tips to avoid and resist the temptation to venture outside the scope of interpreting. \nThe webinar addresses the pitfalls of advocacy in all areas of interpreting. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines pitfall as follows: a hidden or not easily recognized danger or difficulty. \nThe presenters are well aware of the codes of ethics for healthcare interpreters in the US. In 2004\, the NCIHC published its code stating\, “The idea of advocacy in relation to health care interpreting has been and continues to be a controversial one.” So frequently interpreters misunderstand their canon on advocacy\, that NCIHC found it necessary to publish in 2021 a 55-page document to dispel some misconceptions. The webinar touches on some of those misunderstandings by focusing on the motivations that underlie interpreters’ urge to advocate \nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\nLearn about the importance of neutrality and impartiality for interpreters.\nUnderstand the origins of cultural brokerage.\nRecognize the motivations behind the desire to advocate.\nRefrain from actions and behaviors that create the perception of bias.\n\nAbout the Presenters\nEmma Garkavi\, CT is a certified Russian court interpreter in Washington and California and an ATA-certified English>Russian translator. She served as president of the Washington Court Interpreters and Translators Society. She participated in developing the ASTM F2089-15 Standard Practice for Language Interpreting.

During her 14-year tenure as interpreter services manager for Seattle Municipal Court\, she set standards for pay and protocols that served as a benchmark for the entire state. \nLinda Noble\, CT is a certified Russian court interpreter in Washington and an ATA-certified Russian>English translator.
