Translation, interpreting, and sight
translation
We usually think of translation as
transforming a written text in one
language into another, while
interpreting involves oral language.
Translation, interpreting, and sight
translation
Interpreting can be consecutive, when the interpreter
presents a speech in another language immediately
following the original presentation, or simultaneous,
when translation occurs at the same time as the original
speech, often using headphones. A third form of
interpreting is called liaison interpreting and is used in
meetings and discussions conducted in two languages
with an interpreter translating in both directions.
Sight translation
Somewhere between translation and
interpreting we have sight translation,
which involves the oral translation of a
written text.
Sight interpretation
"Interpreters have to listen, translate and read at the
same time, using two input channels. At the extreme,
the interpreters may even be provided with a previously
prepared translation to read from, yet they still have to
listen to the speakers in order to synchronise with
them. It's called sight interpretation (by analogy with
sight translation […]). In addition, there's the matter of
all the background documentation that interpreters
should skim through in preparation for a meeting.
Sight translation
Sight translation: translating a written text
orally. So it's a hybrid of written translation and
interpreting. Faster and more economical than
writing the translation. It's more widespread than
people realise, much of it in the form of dictated
translation, in which a Professional Translator
dictates into a recorder for transcription by a
secretary or, nowadays, into a computer equipped
with speech recognition software.

12 class sessions, 30 January – 23 April
Objectives
1. oral translation: improve fluency and accuracy of
oral translation into English
2. translation analysis : analyze oral translations to

Translation topics and
texts
The LEA programme is oriented towards
the use of language in international and
business contexts. Translation topics
therefore involve international current
affairs, recent social, political or cultural
issues in English-speaking countries, and
business and finance.
Activities
1. current affairs translation
2. group dictation activity
3. class oral translation
4. transcription and analysis of recording
1. Current affairs
translation
Find three news stories in French: 2
headlines stories and one fun item
Read them out at the start of class for
students to translate
Be ready to correct where necessary.
2. Group dictation
Work in groups of three: two students
take turns to translate French text into
English aloud, while the third writes it
down.
When you have finished, note
alternatives, corrections, to turn in with
your translation
3. Class oral translation
Each student translates one sentence into
the recorder until the full text has been
translated
The teacher puts the recording on Jalon
for students to download and transcribe.
4. Translation report
Students write a translation analysis of the class oral
translation, including
•the original French text
•the spoken English translation,
•their own comments, alternative solutions and
improvements, with justifications
Upload text to Jalon BEFORE the following week’s class.
Evaluation

translation
• analyse the translation

Sight translation

  • 1. Sight translation Master I LEA HMLA202 Shona Whyte January 2015
  • 2. Translation, interpreting, and sight translation We usually think of translation as transforming a written text in one language into another, while interpreting involves oral language.
  • 3. Translation, interpreting, and sight translation Interpreting can be consecutive, when the interpreter presents a speech in another language immediately following the original presentation, or simultaneous, when translation occurs at the same time as the original speech, often using headphones. A third form of interpreting is called liaison interpreting and is used in meetings and discussions conducted in two languages with an interpreter translating in both directions.
  • 4. Sight translation Somewhere between translation and interpreting we have sight translation, which involves the oral translation of a written text.
  • 5. Sight interpretation "Interpreters have to listen, translate and read at the same time, using two input channels. At the extreme, the interpreters may even be provided with a previously prepared translation to read from, yet they still have to listen to the speakers in order to synchronise with them. It's called sight interpretation (by analogy with sight translation […]). In addition, there's the matter of all the background documentation that interpreters should skim through in preparation for a meeting.
  • 6. Sight translation Sight translation: translating a written text orally. So it's a hybrid of written translation and interpreting. Faster and more economical than writing the translation. It's more widespread than people realise, much of it in the form of dictated translation, in which a Professional Translator dictates into a recorder for transcription by a secretary or, nowadays, into a computer equipped with speech recognition software. http://www.capitatranslationinterpreting.com/interpreting/sight-translation/
  • 7. Class schedule Friday, room 229  Friday 9-10h, 10-11h 12 class sessions, 30 January – 23 April
  • 8. Objectives 1. oral translation: improve fluency and accuracy of oral translation into English 2. translation analysis : analyze oral translations to develop translation technique 3. learner autonomy: develop skills for independent translation
  • 9. Translation topics and texts The LEA programme is oriented towards the use of language in international and business contexts. Translation topics therefore involve international current affairs, recent social, political or cultural issues in English-speaking countries, and business and finance.
  • 10. Activities 1. current affairs translation 2. group dictation activity 3. class oral translation 4. transcription and analysis of recording
  • 11. 1. Current affairs translation Find three news stories in French: 2 headlines stories and one fun item Read them out at the start of class for students to translate Be ready to correct where necessary.
  • 12. 2. Group dictation Work in groups of three: two students take turns to translate French text into English aloud, while the third writes it down. When you have finished, note alternatives, corrections, to turn in with your translation
  • 13. 3. Class oral translation Each student translates one sentence into the recorder until the full text has been translated The teacher puts the recording on Jalon for students to download and transcribe.
  • 14. 4. Translation report Students write a translation analysis of the class oral translation, including •the original French text •the spoken English translation, •their own comments, alternative solutions and improvements, with justifications Upload text to Jalon BEFORE the following week’s class.
  • 15. Evaluation Two translation reports • download and transcribe class translation • analyse the translation • upload to Jalon BEFORE the following class
