In a world where average word rates for translators have fallen, and there is mounting pressure on price from new, low-skilled entrants, technical translation is an excellent specialism for those prepared to gain the right skills. Technical translation requires a more extensive skills-set to get established and if you're prepared to invest in yourself, stability and better rates are the reward.
The course will cover all aspects of technical translation (scientific, technical and medical, with a particular focus on technology).
The course comprises 2 x 90-minute sessions (6 and 13 December) and will be a mixture of presentations and practical exercises with feedback. You will learn:
