- The variety of formal and informal documents that are often requested,
- An overview of documentation associated with Special Education Services,
- The unique linguistic challenges presented to translators (from acronyms and graphic organizers to specialized terminology), as well as
- Recommendations for how to work effectively with educators.

Effective Editing into English: Strategies and Tips, with a focus on Medical Translation
by Michael Collins
Abstract:
This workshop will include a presentation on techniques and pitfalls to avoid in translations into English. The presenter will include a discussion of “verbing” as a useful technique for editing translations into English, and how to avoid “linguistic capture”. This will be followed by practical work sessions editing and critiquing actual translated texts from multiple fields. Extra focus will be on translations for/from the medical field, with a brief discussion of types of texts translators and editors are likely to see. No special knowledge in medical translation is required, and examples and working texts will be from multiple source languages into English.
