Date Time Webinar Purpose of Webinar Payment/Registration 
April 17, Monday 6 – 8 pm Source Text and Target Text Many candidates may fail their translation exams because they don’t properly analyze the source text for meaning, structure, background, and literary devices. This webinar aims at raising awareness of these important aspects of a successful translation.
April 18, Tuesday 6 – 8 pm Translation Processes and Practice Session What goes into a successful translation? Which processes are involved? This webinar will provide some guidance. Candidates are requested to translate a text before the webinar. We will discuss the translation processes and look at the elements that make this text challenging.
April 21, Friday 6 – 8 pm Revision Techniques Translation – like writing – is a process. The first draft is never the final version. In this webinar, we will discuss revision techniques for exams and professional translation work.
April 22, Saturday 10 am – 12 pm Translation as a Business Most translators in Canada are freelancers. Taking the step toward self-employment can be scary and requires serious thought and preparation. This webinar offers some food for thought about freelancing in today’s global economy.
