International trade for translators and interpreters
Course summary
Description International trade produces a large volume of documents, which must be written, translated and adapted by specialized professionals. Ignorance of this field can lead to miscommunication and misunderstandings and, too often, to absurd, hardly decipherable translations. Translation agencies make sure to hire interpreters, translators and proofreaders who are familiar with this specialized terminology. Thus, it is a must to learn the concepts and terms of international trade in order to deal with its technical documents. International trade, as part of the business and financial translation, not only directly impacts corporate and business documents produced by import & export companies and banks, but also business and financial media, the translation of Commercial Codes and international organizations’ publications. It is also a very relevant field for interpreters, since they often take part in foreign trade negotiations (trading, bargaining, agreements, disputes, litigations...) We are glad to invite you to participate in the session Target audience Newbie translators who wish to specialize in the International Trade sector Freelance translators specializing in Business and Finance Interpreters Project Managers Proofreaders Foreign Trade workers (exporters, importers, forwarders, shippers, consignees, traders... ) Finance and business professionals Learning objectives At the end of this webinar, attendees will have gained a basic understanding of: Registration and payment information (click to expand) Click to expand To purchase your seat at this session please click on the "buy" button.
