Jeff will explore why translators and interpreters sometimes see their work through rose-tinted glasses, especially in English-to-BSL contexts.
Through practical examples and Jeff's insights, we'll understand why these idealisations happen and how they can backfire. Jeff will share strategies to stay grounded and minimise the risk of feeling betrayed by unrealistic expectations.
Whether you're new to translation/interpreting or a seasoned professional, this session will challenge your perceptions and provide practical tips for navigating the complexities of language mediation with clarity and integrity.
Don't miss this opportunity to see translation/interpreting in a new light and improve your practice.
(Please note that this training will be delivered in BSL).
