We’re back this week with three new posts containing information about PLD members who shared their knowledge with attendees at the ATA 56th Annual Conference this year. Today we’d like to share the slides used by Maria Helena Brenner-Kelly during her session: “‘Hardening’ Your Information Technology Translation.”
Abstract:
“Hardening” is just one of the new buzz words from the information technology (IT) industry, and every year the industry coins dozens of them. Even the non-specialized translator needs to come up with terms that are not only accurate, but short, elegant, and exciting. After researching trends and directions from major thought leaders in the IT industry, the speaker compiled a list of terms that will soon be challenging translators. Using examples in Portuguese, she will discuss the meaning of these new terms and the best translation strategies.
