Description
Bring your laptop and learn what you need to know to get into the diplomatic-humanitarian translation market.

Opportunities to be included in Spanish Solutions‘ future projects: We are eager to expand our team in Córdoba given the upsurge in translation assignments we have experienced in the last few years and the quality of local professionals.

Program
1. Introduction to humanitarian/military forces
2. A teamwork approach assisted by SDL Trados Studio™
3. Practical experience processing and translating relevant Word and Powerpoint documents

Participation

• Hands-on: directed to translators with a proven track-record (at least 2 years) in the use of Trados and other CAT tools interested in the diplomatic/military/humanitarian fields. Classes will include theory and practice with real world documents. We will foster active participation through Q&As, and feedback from our senior PM/Editor will be part of the learning process.
• Observer: directed to senior FL-UNC grad students (in the last year of the Translation B.A.), fresh graduates and other idoneous students. We encourage Observers to consider taking part of future seminars as full hands-on participants.
