SUMMARY:Business Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We write – and speak – for others all the time\, adjusting our work to the client’s glossary\, style guide\, and brand voice as needed. But how do you want to sound when the words are your own? \nThat’s what we’ll talk about at ATA’s first-ever Business Book Club! We’ll discuss Everybody Writes\, Ann Handley’s guide to business writing for marketers and storytellers. Come share opinions\, brainstorm ideas\, and pick a writing strategy to try for yourself. \n(Reading a few chapters ahead of time? Great idea. Reading the whole book? Not necessary. You’re busy\, and that thing’s packed.) \nRegistration is free and open to all ATA members. Due to the interactive nature of this event\, it will not be recorded. \nHosted by ATA’s Business Practices Education Committee

SUMMARY:To-MAY-to\, To-MAH-to: State Laws\, State Lingo\, and the Interpreter's Dilemma
DESCRIPTION:Interpreting criminal charges accurately across state lines is more critical than ever. Learn how to navigate legal terminology differences in a post-COVID\, multi-jurisdictional world.\nLaws differ from state to state\, which can affect the terminology interpreters use in and out of the courtroom. It’s even more critical in a post-Covid world where many interpreters work remotely across multiple states and jurisdictions. This webinar will examine why it’s important to know the elements of criminal charges in the state(s) where you work\, similarities and differences of common criminal charges from state to state\, and proposed solutions to the terminology dilemma. \nBy attending this webinar\, you will:\n\nLearn the specific names and elements of common criminal charges for the states where students work (e.g.\, theft vs robbery vs burglary).\nLearn the specific names and elements of common criminal charges as used in the countries of origin of the nationalities represented among limited English proficient speakers where students work (e.g.\, allanamiento vs registro).\n\nAbout the Presenter\nJason Knapp is a federally certified court interpreter\, ATA-certified translator\, and conference interpreter rostered with the U.S. Department of State. He is active in several professional associations and currently serves on committees for both NAJIT and the ATA. He has presented at national-level conferences and was recently accepted as a pre-candidate to AIIC (International Association of Conference Interpreters).

SUMMARY:ATA TEKTalks: Cloud-Based CAT Tools – Can They Work?
DESCRIPTION:Feeling LOC’d out? ATA TEKTalks is here to help!\nThis ATA TEKTalks will feature a new cloud-based CAT Tool\, Trados Go. \nWe know that most translators prefer desktop CAT tools\, so we’re definitely not taking Studio away. At the same time\, we also know that some users prefer working in the browser. So\, we would like to validate with our community how big and substantial the interest in browser-based solutions is. Against this background\, I would like to discuss pros and cons of using browser +desktop environments\, plugging in AI in both\, and open this discussion up to the audience and get valuable feedback. \nWhat is ATA TEKTalks?\nLanguage technology\, or lang tech for short\, can feel like a confusing maze\, evolving daily. If you’ve ever felt “LOC’d out” of all the excitement—or just overwhelmed—it’s time to grab your compass and assume your place as a tech-savvy linguist! \nATA’s Language Technology Division is pleased to present ATA TEKTalks\, a quarterly series of webinars. ATA TEKTalks provides a platform for leading language technology companies to say hello\, offer insights\, and answer questions relevant to the work of freelancers\, language services providers\, and in-house translation departments. \nThink of ATA TEKTalks as an open exchange of information where language technology companies and their representatives demonstrate how and why their services can improve your return on investment. \nThis webinar series is organized in collaboration with ATA’s Language Technology Division. \nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\nCompare the pros and cons of using browser-based vs. desktop environments for language localization.\nUnderstand localization workflows and how they differ across platforms.\nExplore Trados’ new cloud-based CAT tool\, Trados Go.\nLearn how AI features can be enabled in both browser and cloud-based environments.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nDaniel Brockmann is Principal Product Manager at Team Trados. Daniel product-manages a wide range of applications in the Trados portfolio designed for translators\, project managers and terminologists – from the translation productivity environments Trados Studio and Trados Go via the terminology management suite MultiTerm to the software localization solution Passolo. He also helps the team to evolve the translation management solution Trados Enterprise as well as the collaboration solutions Trados GroupShare (on-premise) and Trados Team (cloud-based).
