This webinar aims at raising awareness of these important aspects of a successful translation.
November 14, 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.
