Translators' Web Presence

Tomorrow we are going to work on blogs as the last activity for the course. While I was looking at my twitter, I came across this video by Ian Emmet. It is a very simple way of advertising what his translation company does.



Via twitter, Ian Emmet has sent me a couple more videos. The one below shows some of  his hospitality and tourism translations.


You can achieve something similar with one of the many open source movie making/slide sites (animoto, stupeflix, even slideshare, smile box, etc).

You could easily create a similar little video with photostory or movie maker. Then you upload it onto your blog or onto youtube or vimeo to give it more air play.
Social media marketing for transaltors is becoming more topical by the minute.There are even webminars taking place. Just explore the net to get ideas and learn form what is going on out there!

Interpreting Videos

A simple search with "interpreting" brings up a wealth of videos that illustrate different aspects of interpreting.
Check the videos below.
The first is an amazing simultaneous interpreter doing an interpreting job in a TV program where the guest is Oscar de la Renta.


The second video is an example of consecutive interpreting done in Argentina (English<>Spanish) during an interview with Roger Waters (Pink Floyd).


The last one is a history of interpreting in Brussels for European Institutions since 1952. It shows the different types of interpreting that can be used according to different situations (whispering, simultaneous, consecutive, one way, two way) and how things have changed from having only two interpreters to the present need for interpreters for 23 different languages!


I have left a permanent link, Interpreting Training Videos, within Useful links/Interpreting links on the right side-bar.
