Such tools are used to manage terminology and reference materials, ensure consistency throughout the text, provide quality control, and preserve the formatting of source texts. In this short introductory demonstration, students will learn to use Wordfast, the CAT tool that is installed in ÌÇÐÄvlog&#8217;s Translation and Interpreting Lab, located in Schmitt Hall.<br \/>\n<a name=\"Laurence\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/media\/montclairedu\/chss\/inserra\/2016-17\/Laurence-Jay-Rayon-Ibrahim-Aibo-150x146.png\" alt=\"\" \/><strong>Laurence Jay-Rayon Ibrahim Aibo<\/strong>\u00a0was born in France and worked in Germany, East Africa, and Canada before moving to the United States in 2008. She holds an M.A. in Foreign Languages applied to translation from the Universit\u00e9 de Montpellier, France, an M.A in Translation and a Ph.D. in Translation from the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Canada. She is currently the Director of the newly created Center for Translation and Interpreting at ÌÇÐÄvlog where she is developing new programs in professional translation and interpreting and also teaches Translation, French, and German. Before transitioning to her academic life, Laurence held various professional positions including independent translator and copywriter in Quebec, International Communications Manager for a French regional agency promoting tourism and culture, working for clients in the medical and marketing fields, and interpreting for German and British journalists. Her professional background makes her a strong supporter of creating bridges between the areas of translator training and professional translation. This semester, her French translation course embraces a service learning component, i.e., translating training materials for French-speaking immigrants at the International Rescue Committee. The main focuses of her research are the translation of African literatures, translating sound, audiobook translation, and recently translation pedagogy. She has published articles in translation journals such as\u00a0<em>Meta<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Translation, Terminologie, R\u00e9daction<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Hermeneus<\/em>, and in\u00a0<em>Research in African Literatures<\/em>.<br \/>\n<strong>In-class talk with Chiara Marchelli, &#8220;Communication Translated&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nHow to translate for the communication business? How to understand and decode the specific language required by each client? How to transpose the intention, mission, and identity of a campaign or an agency into another language, culture and sensibility? How to betray all of this in order to be effective? Translating is never easy, sometimes it is plain impossible. This is why translating for businesses such as Prada, 2&#215;4, Accenture, requires not only a high degree of fluency and precision, but also \u2013 and especially \u2013 what Chiara Marchelli calls the \u201c.0 skill\u201d: a mix of knowledge, expertise, imagination, creativity and, yes, disobedience.<br \/>\n<a name=\"Marchelli\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/media\/montclairedu\/chss\/inserra\/2016-17\/Marchelli-150x122.png\" alt=\"\" \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/italian.as.nyu.edu\/object\/ChiaraMarchelli.html\">Chiara Marchelli<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was born in Aosta, Italy and obtained her MA in Oriental Languages in Venice, Italy.

Still dominated by linguistic-based approaches, research in audiovisual translation has nonetheless seen an increase in studies focusing on the\u00a0<em>before<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>after<\/em>, i.e. on the cognitive processes underlying the creation of audiovisual translation, and on the reception of translated texts. This seminar aims to highlight the importance and impact of reception studies in audiovisual translation research and practice. Focusing on different media and presenting a series of empirical studies, we shall discuss the methodologies and tools employed to evaluate audience reception and highlight further opportunities for practitioners and researchers.<br \/>\n<strong>In-class talk with Elena Di Giovanni,<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>2. &#8220;A Hands-on Workshop on Access Services for the Blind for Opera and Theater&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nMaking entertainment accessible for all, i.e. catering for the needs of any audience, is increasingly central for international bodies, national governments and entertainment providers. Inclusion is today perceived as a core issue, whereby entertainment is to be enjoyed by all at the same time, in the same way. This workshop reports on a series of projects carried out in the past few years to make live performances accessible for the blind and visually impaired. Audio introductions, audio descriptions, touch tours and many other techniques to make opera and theater accessible for the blind will be presented and practiced, through a series of practical examples.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/docenti.unimc.it\/elena.digiovanni\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/media\/montclairedu\/chss\/inserra\/2016-17\/Elena_Di_Giovanni-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><strong>Elena Di Giovanni<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<a name=\"Elena\"><\/a>\u200cis Associate Professor of English Translation at the University of Macerata, where she specializes in audiovisual translation and media accessibility, but also translation and writing in postcolonial settings and translation of audiovisual texts for children.
