We’ll discuss important questions such as:\n- Should I approach the job differently if my client is a PhD/medical stude nt or the supervisor/professor?\n- What are the client’s expectations?\n- What will the text be used for (e.g.\, publication\, dissertation\, grant proposal\, commercial applications)? \n- Do I have enough background knowl edge to work on this text?\nDuring this 2-hour interactive meeting\, we’ll look at some of the more challenging texts I’ve edited recently\, and we’ ll talk about different ways they can be tackled. And of course\, we’ll le ave plenty of time for swapping war stories. No advance preparation is nee ded.\nThe meeting will run from 16:30 to 18:30 (doors open at 16:00) and w ill be held at restaurant Se7en in Utrecht\, just a short walk from Utrech t Central Station.

Unanimously chosen at our last meeting at which Alison Gibbs gave a stunning talk on editing\, thanks again\, Alison! Tony will t alk to us about this at our first meeting in 2020.\nTony adds and\, in vie w of the subject matter\, who’d dare translate it?:\nNet als een goede sch eidsrechter valt een goede vertaling niet op. Een slechte vertaling wel. M aar in welk geval oordeelt de rechter dat de kwaliteit van een vertaling o ndermaats is en in welk geval duidt die kwalificatie door de opdrachtgever slechts op een verschil van smaak? Tot nu toe was daar in Nederland (en z o lijkt\, ook in het buitenland) geen rechtspraak over: dergelijke zaken w aren altijd geschikt. Tot voor kort.\nDuizenden exemplaren van het boek Be autiful Holland waren in diverse talen zo slecht vertaald\, dat zelfs de J apanse afnemers ‘hun’ versie teruggaven en om het Engelstalige exemplaar v roegen. De uitgever heeft daarop het vertaalbureau aansprakelijk gesteld v oor alle daardoor geleden reputatie- en omzetschade\, maar vooral voor de (hoge) drukkosten van de vele onbruikbare exemplaren. Het oordeel van de r echter was op het eerste gezicht opmerkelijk\, maar vooral voor zowel opdr achtgevers als vertaalbureaus en vertalers zeer leerzaam.\nBeginning at 5p m\, this will be held at John Alexander’s place\, for venue details see be low.\nDINNER\nFor those who so desire\, and for those who wish to join us there later\, we will then walk to a nearby restaurant where will sit down for dinner at about 7pm. We have selected L’Arena\, a tasty Italian estab lishment on the Stadionweg.\nPlease note that SENSE neither subsidizes nor pays for this dinner. Diners pay\, preferably using a card\, their share of the final bill plus tip\, i.e. the final bill plus tip divided by the n umber of diners – this to avoid debates about who chose/consumed what and how much.\nSounds like fun so do come!\nNB: FINLEGSIG’s habit is to ask at tendees to select the topic for the next meeting in spring/summer 2020. It ’s high time for a financial/insurance/accounting topic - all proposals we lcome. https://www.sense-online.nl/events/calendar/event/241-the-translato r-before-the-beak DTSTART:20200220T160000Z DTEND:20200220T180000Z LOCATION:John Alexander's home\, near Amsterdam-Zuid railway station () SUMMARY:The Translator Before the Beak URL:https://www.sense-online.nl/events/calendar/event/241-the-translator-be fore-the-beak END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
