Joint Workshop by TecCOMFrame / tekom Europe / EMT / LindWeb

The overarching aim of the joint workshop is to foster the mutual understanding and learning of translators/localizers and technical communicators, hence facilitating the translation and localization workflow. The crucial questions are, what are the main points, which both discipline have in common and how can knowledge about technical communication be used for translation and vice versa. It will further be discussed which knowledge competencies for translators entering the field of technical communication are necessary should therefore be part of academic programs or vocational training in the field of translation. The workshop will mix presentations, panel discussions and discussion with the audience. It addresses technical communicators, translators, language service providers and associations, students from both technical communication and translation studies interested in sharing mutual understanding on how translation and technical communication are linked.
