General Information
Counterpoint E-zine
03/05/19 11:15
Counterpoint is an e-zine for everyone interested in literary translation. Whether you are a translator, publisher, agent, researcher, student or journalist, or just have a general interest in literature across borders, the European book market, and in the people that shape both, there will be something in Counterpoint of interest to you.
We report on what’s going on inside CEATL, and we look outside as well. We present feature articles about translators and translating and deal with the broad cultural, artistic and economic context of our work. We intend Counterpoint to live up to its name and be a place where independent and sometimes contrasting voices come together and form a stronger and more enthralling whole, much like the art of literary translation itself.
Counterpoint is free of charge and published twice a year in English and French.

18/04/17 13:19
If you need to get a document professionally translated, you may be asked to provide proof that you used a qualified service.

Terminotix launches BridgeTerm, a translation workflow solution
31/08/16 12:54
Translation management, or workflow, solutions are extremely useful tools. In fact, many language professionals would have trouble living without one!

Following analysis of our clients’ requirements, Terminotix decided to create BridgeTerm, a lightweight, user-friendly management solution that is nearly configuration-free. By connecting LogiTerm and Outlook, BridgeTerm lets you automate every step of the translation management process, from receiving a document by email to delivering the final product. BridgeTerm will be included with the installation of LogiTerm 5.7 for a limited time. You can also request a free trial to see whether this solution is right for you.
Simply send Terminotix a message at info@terminotix.com.

RR Donnelley Takes a Stand on Technology
05/06/14 10:59
RR Donnelley (RRD), a US$11 billion company in print, digital, and supply chain solutions announced earlier this year it would buy MultiCorpora, a developer of translation automation software. Thirty days after the acquisition was completed, we spoke with Christophe Djaouani, Vice President and Managing Director of RR Donnelley Language Solutions, and Nicolas Bosovsky, Global Operations Director, about their plans for the technology they acquired with MultiCorpora. The top-line message is that RR Donnelley will continue to sell MultiTrans Prism as standalone software, independent of its translation services, as well as using the technology internally to deliver language services for clients. What does this purchase mean for RR Donnelley, MultiCorpora customers, and the market?

We wish you a very happy and creative 2014, and would like to thank you for the greetings that have reached us from all over the world!
In the fall of 2012, its fiftieth anniversary year, the Max Geilinger Foundation Prize was awarded to the Translation House Looren. The Foundation was established in memory of the Zurich poet, dramatist, and translator Max Geilinger (1884-1948), and honors individuals or institutions for outstanding contributions to the cultural exchange between Switzerland and the English-speaking world.
The Translation House Looren Association is using the prize money to fund the Max Geilinger Translation Grants from 2013 to 2015. Applications are open to translators who are translating a work of Swiss literature into English or translating an English-language work into German, French, Italian, or Rhaeto-Romanic.
Ten grants will be awarded. Each is worth CHF 2,000 and is tied to a one-month residency at Translation House Looren. Grant recipients are responsible for their own travel costs.
Application Deadlines are February 28, June 30, and October 31, respectively. To find out more, see the attached file or visit: http://www.looren.net/53-2-Max-Geilinger-Grants.html

How Will Microsoft Windows XP End-Of-Life Impact Your Daily Work as a Translator?
20/11/13 11:48
Dear memoQ user,
As you probably have heard, starting next April, Microsoft will stop providing new security updates, non-security hotfixes or any kind of support for Windows XP.
Already many software vendors have dropped support for Microsoft Windows XP. It is also likely that providers of antivirus software will not continue supporting Microsoft Windows XP, which will open the door for exploits specific to Windows XP. Staying on Microsoft Windows XP will become risky.
Although Microsoft Windows XP is currently the OS for only a small minority of memoQ users (around 6%), supporting this platform is costly for Kilgray – Microsoft no longer releases the newest .NET Framework (4.5) for Windows XP. Using the latest .NET Framework offers us better and more efficient ways to develop software, and to deliver to you more functionality and stability in memoQ.
As a result, we are considering dropping support for Microsoft Windows XP as well, sometime in 2014.
We don’t want to leave you stranded, so we would like to know what your plans are regarding upgrading from Windows XP. Read More...

Translation slam
04/03/12 12:43
Dear friends and colleagues,
On Monday 12 March at 2 pm I’ll be taking part in a translation slam with Frank Wynne as part of the Norwich Writers Centre Showcase event and it’s being streamed live:
http://www.writerscentrenorwich.org.uk/livestreamingeventnorwichshowcasetr anslationslam.aspx
A slam is when 2 translators are asked to translate the same text (in advance).
Each one does the translation and then sends it to the moderator. Neither sees the work of the other. On the day, the translators read out their respective translations, which are inevitably totally different (and it's really incredible how much so). The audience is of course baffled, especially if they've never thought about translation before. Moderator asks pertinent questions and translators explain their choices. It's a brilliant way of showcasing the art of translation and getting audiences to understand about voice etc. but incredibly scary to be the translator whose work gets dissected!
All the best
