Why do(n’t) interpreters do professional development
Professional development (PD) has become a regular, if not mandatory, activity in some occupations. Among interpreters, levels of interest in and rates of uptake of PD appear to vary. In Australia, PD was introduced as mandatory for newly certified interpreters in 2014. From 2019, PD became mandatory for all interpreters wishing to gain or retain the credential ‘certification’; this requirement remained optional only for those who retained the ol…
Translating hierarchy in Hideo Yokoyama’s The Third Deadline
Crime fiction is a genre that commonly incorporates important sociocultural dimensions. When crime fiction works are translated within the framework of world literature, new audiences are able to expand their knowledge of different cultures and societies, as well as be entertained by the plots and characters. It can thus be a challenge, for translators, to ensure that sociocultural aspects are effectively conveyed. For example, the translation in…

The deconstruction of these assumptions leads to important implications for the role o…
