• Terms
without

19. Mind-mapping steps for learning new
terminology & creating a glossary
1.
Write
a
term
in
the
center
of
the
map
2.
Brainstorm
associaAons
3.
Find
each
word’s
definiAon
4.
Decide
on
the
map's
flow
(structure)

25. What are non-standardized terms???
Ø U.S.
healthcare
terms
that
don’t
have
standardized
equivalents
in
another
language,
including:
Ø Non-­‐standard
U.S.
terms,
i.e.
terms
that
are
thought
to
be
characteris<c
of
the
speech
of
persons
with
liAle
educa<on
E.g.
Limbal
Relaxing
Incisions
(LRIs),
football
shaped
eyeball,
floaters,
pink
eye

26. In which language?

28. Online search for new terminology
1. Start
with
an
image
search
for
a
body
organ
2. Use
reputable
U.S.
websites:
Ø MedlinePlus
Ø WebMD
Ø CDC
Ø Major
hospitals
(Mayo
Clinic,
etc.)
Ø Medical
schools
Ø Encyclopedias
or
medical
dic<onaries

29. Online search for new terminology

30. Search
YouTube
for
funcAons
and
procedures:
Ø To
gain
knowledge
by
engaging
visual
and
auditory
memory
(&
learn
pronuncia<on
of
terms)
Ø To
prac<ce
consecu<ve
or
simultaneous
interpre<ng
Example.
As5gma5sm
&
cataract
-­‐
LRI,
limbal
relaxing
incisions

Online search for new terminology

31. Search for Parallel Texts

32. Poll
#3

33. Attributes of Parallel Texts
Ø The
texts
will
differ
in
their
structure
and
detail
but
contain
all
major
concepts
on
the
same
subject.
Ø Both
texts
are
created
by
naAve
speakers
of
respecAve
languages
(i.e.
not
a
translaAon)
Ø Both
texts
target
the
same
audience
(e.g.
paAent
educaAon,
scienAfic
arAcle,
general
encyclopedia,
popular
magazine,
etc.)

34. Steps for Finding Equivalents Online
1. Check
your
favorite
online
bilingual
dicAonary
or
forum
2. Type
the
English
term
in
Wikipedia,
then
see
if
you
have
a
corresponding
Wikipedia
arAcle
in
your
language
3. Use
either
your-­‐language
Google
or
your-­‐country
search
engine
(e.g.
Russian
–
Яндекс/Yandex,
German
–
Google.de)
to
find
2-­‐3
reputable
websites:
Ø your
country’s
Departments
of
Health,
Ø major
hospitals
(usually
in
the
capital
city
of
your
country),
Ø specialty
associa<on
(e.g.
American
Society
of
Ophthalmology)
Ø major
health-­‐related
publica<on
(magazine
or
journal)
Ø major
manufacturer
of
medica<on
or
equipment

44. Creating Definitions for Glossary Items
Goal:
Make
the
definiAon
as
clear
and
simple
as
possible
without
sacrificing
the
meaning.
1. Start
with
MedlinePlus
or
MedicineNet.com
2. If
needed,
simplify
by
searching
on
Google
or
freedicAonary.com

49. Creating a Glossary:
Assessing Equivalency of
Meaning

50. Interpreting terms that don’t have
standard equivalents
1.
Analyze
components
of
the
word’s
lexical
meaning
Denotation
= direct, literal meaning; the
object or concept to which the
word refers
Connotation
= idea or feeling that a
word implies; emotive
charge or stylistic
reference (register)
To look at
something special
To feast the eyes
on sth
To get an eyeful
of sth

51. 2.
Check
if
a
“word
picture”
is
a
good
choice
for
translaAng
the
term
A
“word
picture”
translaAon
is
a
graphic
descripAon
in
the
Target
language
of
the
concept
or
object
represented
by
1
word/term
in
the
Source
language.
Interpreting terms that don’t have
standard equivalents

52. Word picture
football shaped
eyeball
the eyeball is shaped
like an American
football, or
a rugby ball; or
like an almond?
(instead of a sphere)

53. 3.
To
check
for
equivalency
in
meaning,
back-­‐
translate
(“back-­‐interpret”)
the
found
soluAon
A
“back-­‐translaAon”
is
a
translaAon
of
a
translated
text
back
into
the
language
of
the
Source
text,
made
without
reference
to
the
Source
text.
Interpreting terms that don’t have
standard equivalents

54. Back-translation
Floaters
мушки перед
глазами
(123,000 webpages)
плавающие
точки в глазах
(72,000 webpages)
Flies before the eyes
Floating dots in the
eyes

55. Verify accuracy of found equivalents
1. Type
in
a
potenAally
correct
equivalent,
and
see
how
many
results
(webpages)
the
equivalent
gets.
2. Read
1-­‐2
webpages
that
came
up
in
the
search
to
make
sure
they
refer
to
the
same
concept.
Also
check
the
dates
of
the
webpage
update
&
take
your
target
audience’
age
into
account.
3. If
you
have
2-­‐3
potenAally
correct
equivalents,
compare
the
results
and
use
the
equivalent
with
the
highest
results.
4. If
you
have
very
few
webpage
results,
conAnue
looking
for
a
beTer
equivalent
(unless
this
is
a
brand
new
term
–
then
check
again
in
1-­‐12
months)

56. Verify accuracy of found equivalents –
Challenges for LLD
If
no
online
resources
are
available
–
translate

2. Consult
with
your
fellow
interpreters
&
translators.
3. Ask

trying
to
convey
this
American
concept
in
our
language.
Does
it
make
sense?
Is
there
a
beAer
way

saying
this?”
Ø Don’t
forget
your
community
includes
your
contacts
in
your
non-­‐English
country
