Writer or Humble Servant?

Translation Masterclass in Malm on September 25 with Ros
Schwartz (Maximum 12 people)
Aimed at non-literary translators, this hands-on masterclass will focus
on questions of style. No experience of literary translation is needed
this is an invitation to hone your writing skills. The aim is for
attendees to feel emboldened and to leave armed with concrete
techniques they can apply to their specific field of technical or
commercial translation.
Ros Schwartz found that applying her literary translation skills to
commercial work and producing polished prose, no matter how
mundane the subject matter or clunky the original text, is one factor
that sets top-end translators apart. And commercial translators
offering stylistically polished work adaptations rather than
straightforward translations can charge higher rates and build
rewarding relationships with loyal customers. Part of the challenge
lies in having the confidence to see yourself as a writer rather than as
a humble servant.
In this session we will analyse a range of English texts in translation
to identify ways they can be improved stylistically.
Note: This session is aimed not only at English mother-tongue
translators. There will be plenty of take-aways for translators
working from other language combinations who have a very highlevel of English
Business Acceleration Masterclass for translators and
interpreters in Malm on September 25 with Chris Durban
(Maximum 15 people; participants should have at least 8 years
experience)
This four-hour masterclass is not for everyone. Beginners? No.
Part-timers? Probably not. Dabblers and ditherers? Definitely not. It
targets translators who have acquired enough experience to know that
translation is for them. Who are passionate about their work or who,
facing price and other pressures, would dearly like to rekindle that
passion. Who are at a stage in their practice and life where they want
to raise the ante, and who are prepared to invest serious time and
energy to position themselves in market segments offering greater
intellectual satisfaction and significantly higher financial rewards.
Join Chris Durban in Malm on September 25 for a hands-on
masterclass with concrete input to kickstart your practice. Content
includes but is not limited to specialization, marketing and pricing.
If you are an experienced professional translator or interpreter and
are seriously interested in moving your translation practice up a gear
in 2016, this masterclass is for youregardless of your language
combination or current area of specialization.
