by Matthew Schlecht The ATA Science & Technology Division has a solid program at the ATA 55th Annual Conference, with content that will appeal to the inner geek in all of us.

Some of the S&TD presentations do have a specific language pair focus, while others discuss only subject matter, but all address the unique constellation of terminology, style, register, and background that are necessary to do translation work in this area. Our Distinguished Speaker for 2014 is Dr. Christiane…

Division member Bruce Popp is giving a webinar for patent translators on March 22 through ATA. For more information and to register, please follow this link: ATA Webinar 107 Patents. Here is the abstract: To be patentable, an invention must be new. A frequent consequence of this is that the terminology used in a patent application that needs to be translated may also be new and poorly covered in secondary terminology resources such as online terminology databases, glossaries and dictionaries. Faced with this situation, a patent translator may need to identify and use primary sources and do their own research…

By Stephanie Strobel The Sci-Tech Division stood out during Division Open-house following the Opening Reception at the ATA Annual Conference. The Sci-Tech Division table featured a creative construction toy “Super Marbleworks Raceway Construction Set.” It was well received by members of the division and particularly appreciated by out-going president, Nick Hartman, who said, “This is why I plan to become very involved in the Sci-Tech Division. These are my people!” Why did a construction toy strike such a chord? Could it be Joy of Technology? Perhaps “Marbleworks” is the embodiment of technical translation. Technical translation is creative writing and it’s…
