Resumen: In an effort to improve the theoretical base and the methods by which interpreters are trained and evaluated, a parallel corpus of student interpreter renderings has been developed. One of the analyses performed on this corpus compares the types and frequency of errors of studen interpreters working into their non-native language to the errors made when working into their native language. Each error or shift is considered in terms of two factors: its effect on the conservation or distortion of the original message and the mechanics by which the error or shift occurs. Contrary to "conventional wisdom" about native-language bias in interpreted into their native or dominant language. Possible causes and remedies are presented.

Resumen: Many chemical terms and conceptsare encoutered by translators working in the biomedical field. Not all these terms are always crystal-clear.

Resumen: The author discusses Croatian language and English-Croatian translation from a historical and cultural relations viewpoint. Croating language is a South Slavic language with a 1,000-year heritage. It was written in Glago¡tic letters in its early history. Some 7 million people worldwide speak Croatian today. Problems and pitfalls in Croatian-English translation and interpretation are reviewed. Theilustrative examples cover diacritics, false cognates and short lists of the most common errors. Translator ́s resources reviewed include publications, institutions and organizations of interest. A snapshot of the current language dynamics shows an interplay between a) an influx of foreign mainly Anglicisms); b) efforts aimed at timely and proper construction of adequate iequivalents; and c) advocacy of a respectful preservation of the language's rich heritage. An initiative for the ATA accreditation program in South Slavic languages includes English-Croating language pair. Based on international standards and constitutional documents of all relevant countries, the initiative members have voted and recommended to the ATA that the obsolet term,'Serbo-Croatian', should be discontinued as a language designation. The Croatian language group has been formed. Eventual successful introduction of the Croatian-English language pair into the ATA acreditation program would contribute to a better knowledge of Croatian culture and language in the U.S. It would also lead to an interchange between language professionals and their organizations in the two countries. Finally, it would answer needs for increased volume and better quality of translation as Croatia nears entry into European Union and NATO.

Resumen: Sigue priloferando en nuestro medio la propuesta de emprender una cruzada contra "el deterioro de nuestra lengua" y contra el acoso constante del que es objeto por parte del inglés. Se dice que el mayor peligro que acecha al españo contemporáneo es la abrumadora cantidad de anglicismos que "desvirtúan" el verdadero significado de los vocablos castizos. Se puede hablar de pureza de la lengua, o desde que perspectiva se juzgan las "impurezas nocivas"? Tratar a la lengua con amor entrañable no significa el culto a las formas en menoscabo de las necesidades expresivas de los hablantes. Es menester explorar este fenómeno a la luz de las investigaciones lingüisticas de nuestro tiempo.

Resumen: Representing a growing segment of the translation industry, software globalization (G11N) remains shrouded in mystery to many. What is Globalization?

Resumen: Haitan novelist, Dany Laferrière, writes in what we might call "standard" French, rarely inserting foreing terms (other than an occasional English word) in his prose. In "une maisonnette au flanc de cette montagne bleue" (from his one volume of short stories. La chair du maître), there is not a single overt expression in Haitian Kreyòl and yet the story (like several others) is steeped in peasant culture, including the traditions of Vodou. This study will examine several texts for the purpose of showing implicit elements of Vodou and peasant culture and some "easy" translatorial problems of non- concurrence between the standard french and English.

Resumen: For nine years now, the Dictionnaire de la comptabilité et de la gestión financiére (the "Ménard"), published by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants with the collaboration of the Ordre des experts-comptables de France and the Instituí des Réviseurs d'Entreprises de Belgique, has been a vital working tool for English-French and French-English translators in the fields of accounting and finance. The "Red Bible" as it is sometimes called has sold about 20,000 copies (paper and CD-ROM). Over three quarters of these copies were sold in Canadá and approximately 3,000 in Europe. A number of American translators purchased the dictionary, mainly by ordering it from Canadá. All in all, taking account of the 1977 and 1982 editions, sales have totalled over 50,000 copies. Not bad for an accounting dictionary! Work on a new edition began in 1999 and should be completed in 2004. With this eagerly awaited update, the terminological and lexicographical project launched ten years ago will have reached maturity. The paper begins by providing background information on the 2004 Dictionnaire bilingüe comptable et fmancier and shows how a project initiated to resolve local concerns evolved over the years into a multinational dictionary.

Resumen: We presented a paper entlited Proofreading chinese and english translation: changing in changing times al the ATA annual conference in Atlanta last year, which aroused strong responses and stimulating discussion. therefore, as a follow-up, this paper will expand on this topic with an attempt to discuss the (controversial, but necessary) relationship between four essential parties: the translator, the proofreader, the translation agency, and the client. sensitive as the topic may be, this may be beneficial to all to bring to the open and confront some of the underlying but unspoken issues that have troubled and obstructed productivity among talentedpeople. Rather than "Keeping the cat in the bag", unveiling the mystery (or reality) will foster further stimulating discussion at the workshop among the four parties at the conference. We hope this will improve the quality of the chinese translation stateside. We also hop this will strengthen the contention that working with domestic or resident translators and proofreaders is beneficial to the translation agency and the ultimate client and a worthy investment towards quality. Within the relationship of the four parties, lie several sub-relationships: the relationship between the translation agency and the translator; between the translator and the proofreader; between the translator and proofreader and the translation agency; and the translator and proofreader and the translation agency and the client. How shall we deal with these relationship? Is it possible al all to create a congenial relationship among the parties or is it just an "idealistic" dream as some may call it? If it is possible, what are the approaches we may take to set up a congenial and workable relationship between the different parties? We understand that this topic of relationship will also involve business opportunities, confidentiality issues, professional ethics, and related cultural matters. How shall we look at and deal with these issues? How shall the parties, whith joint efforts, work towards a common goal -turning out quality translation work? These are the questions and issues we would like to address and hope to spawn productive and stimulating discussions with the audience.

Resumen: even specialized comprehensive dictionaries fail to provide us with trustworthy and rigorous terminology every so often. therefore, use of Regulatory Documentation is recommended for these technical translators who are commited to do most accurate and rigorous translations of engineering documentation. This is because the Regulatory Documents (Codes, Standards, Specifications, Recommended Practices, etc.) made effective by an authorized body, govermment or non-goverment, are the most reliable source of most rigorous terminology to be established in a particular area of technology.

Resumen: It is well known in the fíeld of Foreign Language teaching that our undergraduate students should develop the so-called four skills: understanding, speaking, reading and writing. However, the ever-increasing needs of our society, among other factors, have determined that the aforementioned skills are not enough. Our students and graduates are called upon to perform translation and interpreting work, teach short courses in specific training áreas (construction, health, law enforcement,etc.) and serve the community with their skills. It is then, sometimes to their surprise, that they realize their training-practice has not been enough: they do not master the culture or the nuances of the foreign language variant they are supposed to transíate from/into. Taking this into consideration, this work presents a number of ideas for undergraduate training, including exercises and experiences, in order to fill the existing gap between undergraduate and gradúate interpreters' and translators' training.

Resumen: La traducción de libros para niños presneta las mismas dificultades que la de libros para adultos, y además, otras específicas de la literatura infantil. El traductor no sólo tiene que ser fiel al contenido de la obra, sino que debe asegurarse que el vocabulario que emplea sea el más adecuado para el nivel de edad del lector a quien se dirige el libro. Como en toda obra literaria la traducción no pude ser literal. Pero en el caso de traducir libros para niños, el cuidado del estilo, la sonoridad de las palabras, y el traslado exacto del significado, debe ser aún mayor. Cuando se traducen poesías, el género más difícil d etraducir en todos los idiomas, hay que esmerarse no solo por trasladar todo el contenido de la poesía de la lengua original a la lengua meta, sino de hacerlo con palabras sencillas, que todos los niños conocen. Casi todas las poesías para niños son rimadas , y esto significa que el traductor debe encontrar en el idioma meta rimas que no parescan forzadas. Uno de los escritores para niños más dificiles de traducir es el Dr. Seuss. No solo por la riqueza, la exhuberancia y la gracia de sus versos, sino por las palabras que inventaba. Los libros del Dr. Seuss son divertidos, además, porque incluyen numerosos juegos de palabras. Éstos son imposibles de traducir, y hay que recrearlos en el idioma meta.
