At the same time it explains the basic notions behind these and offers an insight into such fields as communication studies, psycholinguistics, cognitive science and sport psychology. Therefor, it is truly interdisciplinary study. It also attempts to shed new light on interpreting as a profession and and interpreters as professonals by taking an intrpreter-centered view and focusing on the intrpreter as a human being and not purely ‘black box’ or a ‘non person’. It highlights the complexity of linguistic and cognitive skills and competences required from interpreters whose task consists of facilitating communication between persons not speaking the same language and not belonging to the same culture. The book may be of interest to interpreter trainersand trainees, interpreter and translator training prorgramme administrators, proffesional interpreters, applied linguists, PhD students and scholars of Translation/Interpreting Studies, psychologists and vocational training professionals.

2016
AVIDICUS 3 Handbook of Bilingual Videoconferencing: This handbook is designed to be a comprehensive guide to the use of videoconference (VC) in legal proceedings where such proceedings are conducted with the assistance of an interpreter, leading to situations of bilingual (or multilingual) videoconferencing. The handbook applies to the use of VC in judicial and law enforcement proceedings at national level and to cases of mutual legal assistance, which entail cross-border videoconferencing. This guide is designed for the following policy makers interested in learning more about good practices in order to develop or improve the procedures of procuring and implementing VC at institutional level; legal professionals (e.g. judges, lawyers, prosecutors, court clerks, police officers) using VC in their everyday work at different levels, from organising VCs to handling or chairing them, or even ‘just’ VC participation; legal interpreters wishing to expand their knowledge about VC communication for their continuous professional development; technicians tasked with installing, maintaining and managing VC equipment, setting up and operating VC sessions; system designers of VC systems for the justice sector.
Handbook for Interpreters in Asylum Procedures. Edited by UNHCR Austria, 2017
Interpreters play a crucial, yet often underestimated role in asylum interviews. They mediate between the asylum-seeker and the interviewer, who would not be able to communicate without the help of the interpreter. As it is often not possible for applicants to provide written evidence to substantiate their claims, their oral accounts of what has happened to them are usually the sole basis for an official’s decision and ultimately a pivotal point in the applicant’s life. Given the significant consequences of such decisions during the asylum procedure, interpreters carry a great deal of responsibility both in terms of their professional behaviour and with regard to the quality of interpretation.
This handbook, now in its second, updated and expanded edition, responds to the need for qualified interpreters in asylum procedures by offering a theoretical insight into a variety of topics relevant to interpreters in the asylum context, as well as activities and exercises enabling experiential and interactive learning. It is aimed both at interpreters in asylum procedures who have no formal training and trained interpreters who wish to specialise in the field. In addition, the handbook is intended for facilitators and trainers to use in face-to-face training courses. The handbook is also relevant to asylum authorities and interviewers, providing them with insights into and guidance in working with interpreters.

Entrevista a Susana Rodríguez sobre el proyecto SmarTerp de interpretación simultánea remota
¡Bienvenidos/as una semana más a Don de lenguas!
Terminamos el ciclo que hemos dedicado este curso 2020/21 a la interpretación simultánea remota de la mano de Susana Rodríguez, intérprete de conferencia AICE (miembro del Comité Técnico de esta asociación) y Máster en Excelencia Empresarial y Crecimiento Estratégico por la Universidad de California Los Ángeles (UCLA). Es, además, experta en gestión y promoción de proyectos internacionales de I+D+i por la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) y experta para el desarrollo de normas ISO en ISO/TC 37/SC5 «Traducción, Interpretación y Tecnología Conexa». En concreto, nos ha acompañado para presentarnos el proyecto SmarTerp, un sistema de interpretación híbrido que conecta a las personas con las máquinas para hacer el trabajo del intérprete remoto más eficiente.
Hace ya meses que la interpretación remota ha dejado de ser «el futuro», ya que es la modalidad en la que trabaja la mayor parte de los profesionales de este ámbito ahora mismo. Con Susana, sin embargo, hemos querido sumergirnos en aquello que sí podemos considerar el mañana de la interpretación remota. ¿Cómo se va a aplicar la inteligencia artificial a esta nueva manera de interpretar? ¿Qué mejoras vamos a ver implantadas gracias a la tecnología? ¿Cómo se va a aprovechar esta oportunidad para potenciar la accesibilidad de los sistemas de interpretación remota? A todas estas preguntas nos ha respondido Susana, coordinadora del proyecto SmarTerp, cuyo objetivo es integrar la ayuda que pueden prestar la tecnología y la inteligencia artificial en el proceso de trabajo de los y las intérpretes simultáneos que trabajen en remota. El equipo aspira a ofrecer recursos para apoyar a estos profesionales en su intensa e indispensable labor. Susana nos ha dado las claves que están detrás de la ingeniería lingüística que han aplicado al desarrollo de la plataforma, que va a tener la increíble cifra de dos segundos como desfase máximo para ofrecer apoyos visuales y de terminología al intérprete.
En lo que a estos apoyos respecta, nuestra invitada nos ha comentado que la tecnología que están desarrollando, basada en la IA, está preparada para proporcionarle al intérprete aquellas partes del discurso que pueden hacérsele más complejas, como, por ejemplo, cifras, terminología, entidades nombradas… Por otra parte, el equipo encargado del proyecto ha dado una gran importancia a la personalización de la plataforma; así, cada intérprete podrá decidir qué componentes del discurso desea que la plataforma le facilite. Adicionalmente, nos ha adelantado Susana, con una cuenta de SmarTerp se podrá acceder a los glosarios elaborados por otros compañeros que figuren como compartidos en la plataforma. Esto contribuirá a la creación de una comunidad de intérpretes alrededor de la aplicación y ahorrará tiempo y esfuerzos a los profesionales. Además, Susana también nos ha contado que, en el desarrollo de la plataforma, le están dando una gran importancia a la accesibilidad. No solo es indispensable que los intérpretes ciegos puedan trabajar de manera remota con las misma oportunidades, sino también que aquellos profesionales con discapacidades visuales parciales tengan a su disposición herramientas que les permitan desarrollar su trabajo igualmente.
Como podréis imaginaros, esta es una emocionante entrevista que nos abre un mundo de posibilidades para el futuro de la interpretación remota. ¿Cómo evolucionará este campo con el devenir de los años? Le depare lo que le depare el paso del tiempo, ahí estaremos nosotros para transmitíroslo.
Os animamos a seguirnos en Twitter, Facebook e Instagram y os recordamos que todos los miércoles a las 18 tenéis una cita en Radio USAL con Don de lenguas. ¡Nos escuchamos la semana que viene!

Prieto Ramos, F. [e-Book] Institutional Translation and Interpreting : Assessing Practices and Managing for Quality, Taylor & Francis, 2021
Terminological consistency and accuracy are key indicators of institutional translation quality and a condition for semantic univocity and certainty with regard to legal terms translated at international organizations. They are accordingly important guiding principles in institutional terminology management. This chapter examines variations of consistency and accuracy levels in the translations of three selected terms that are representative of different degrees of legal asymmetry in English-Spanish translation, as well as the congruity of these translations with the recommendations found in the corresponding institutional terminological resources in three settings: the European Union, the United Nations and the World Trade Organization. The corpora compiled for diachronic comparison include all occurrences of the selected terms (“prima facie evidence,” “tort” and “magistrates’ court”) in two periods: 2005–2015 and 2016–2019. The findings suggest significant correlations between legal asymmetry and translation accuracy levels, and between intertextual consistency and accuracy fluctuations. They also reveal low adherence to the (limited) guidance of institutional terminological resources on legal system-specific terms. Additional qualitative insights are offered regarding the most significant cases of terminological harmonization and on the determining role of translation precedents.
100 Years of Conference Interpreting: A Legacy
is now available.
Páginas de 1 a 30 Gratis
Contributors
When Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando and Georges Clemenceau met in Versailles in January 1919, they ushered in the modern era of multilateral diplomacy and—perhaps inadvertently—laid the foundation for a new profession. Indeed, communication among these statesmen was only possible thanks to the first conference interpreters. For the following 100 years, these interpreters would become a permanent fixture at all international multilateral conferences. As we celebrate one century of conference interpreting, this volume takes stock of some of the most important milestones throughout the history of this exceptional profession and looks at its future at a time when the global COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world of international meetings.
Thanks to its refreshingly interactive format, this volume gives a voice to different stakeholders in the world of conference interpreting today, including practitioners, managers, researchers and trainers. The result is a surprisingly candid and critical discussion of some of the most hotly debated topics in the world of conference interpreting.
