Translation and Interpretation: Basics

Intended Audience

This class is meant for anyone who wants to become an interpreter or a translator. The class will be teaching the basics of translation and interpretation. But even experienced practitioners can join the class to get a refresher or maybe learn new insights about the field that they are in. The field of translation is fast-evolving because of the rapid development of technology, particularly artificial intelligence so there’s always something new to learn.

People who work with translators and interpreters are also welcome to join the class so they can gain a broader understanding of the two fields. No previous experience working as a translator or interpreter is required to join the event.

What Can You Expect?

Seattle Central College will be running a Translation and Interpretation: Basics class this coming April 5, 2022, to May 3, 2022.  This is a course for those interested in becoming translators and interpreters. It will cover the most basic things needed for these two fields. You can expect to learn topics like the role of translators and interpreters, the process of interpretation and translation, and the most important terms and concepts involved in these fields.

Participants will also learn about the key differences between machine translation, machine-assisted translation, and computer-aided translation. The course will help participants become more familiar with the two fields and help in preparing them for a possible career as interpreters or translators.

The online class is an excellent way of kickstarting a career in translation, interpretation, or both. 

Organization

The course will be held on Tuesdays starting April 5, 2022, until May 3, 2022, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The entire course will be online.
