A series of joint webinars efsli/tgsd
The Quality Assurance of
Translation Products
In cooperation with tgsd – Association of Deaf Sign Language Interpreters in German spoken countries (GER, AUS & CH)
Registration deadline for last webinar: 14th December 2021
Due to the growing digitalisation of information, especially during the recent corona pandemic, official information in sign language is particularly important for the Deaf community. How can the quality of translated texts be assured?
DIN EN ISO 17100, as an international guideline for translation work, is a good starting point. These guidelines can provide clarity on what can be expected from the translation and what the translation process can look like. However, these guidelines can only be used in the field of translation, not in simultaneous interpreting. The distinction between interpreting and translating is not always clear cut after all. This is also something we can address.
In this three-part webinar series, a number of stages and steps throughout the process will be considered, such as communication with clients, price calculation, teamwork between Deaf and hearing interpreters, distribution of roles (interpreters, revisers, and reviewers), and quality control. We will also do practical exercises during the third webinar.
