Ethics of Translators: Intervention

An interesting issue in translation ethics is that of intervention. Translator sues boss over sexist translation is a poignant example of intervention (in this case ideological as well as linguistic).

For a more academic point of view, check the video series by Anthony Pym on the same topic. He gave a talk on the ethics of translators at the conference Profession, Identity and Status Translators and Interpreters as an Occupational Group (March 15-19-09, Tel Aviv University & Bar Ilan University). The focus was on Intervention.

Watch the video and answer the questions on this quiz (which is a trial for this quiz maker)
