Project Management in Translation & Translation Agency
What is project management and how does it relate to translation? Project management in translation is the automation of the work process, i.e. the removal of so-called manual tasks that can be repetitive and tedious. It allows the translation agency to manage several projects at once – which requires a great deal of organization – and to have better control over ongoing projects. It also facilitates the creation of real collaboration within teams. The aim of project management is therefore efficiency. Among its many benefits, it allows the company to centralize its linguistic resources and thus ensuring consistency between the various translations. Project management is the link between the organization’s goals and objectives and its projects. In other words, it ensures that the original budget is not exceeded and that the project is completed on time. There are seven parts to corporate project management: 1) Risk Study: Identify and assess the potential risks of the project 2) Project Estimation: Calculate project costs, resources, and time 3) Project Reviews: Monitor the progress of the current project portfolio 4) Project Management Training: Share and interact with project managers 5) Escalated Issue Management: Being aware of urgent issues 6) Time Tracking: Develop a time-tracking system 7) Information System: Create a management platform shared with the team You can read more about general project management here >>. Why use an agency for project management in translation? Working with either translation agencies or freelance translators has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between one or the other will depend on your specific translation needs. However, here are our top 5 reasons why you should... read more
Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Translation
Applications of artificial intelligence The concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common in our everyday lives. But what does artificial intelligence mean? According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, artificial intelligence is “the study and development of computer systems that can copy intelligent human behaviour”. Some specific applications of artificial intelligence include natural language processing and speech recognition. Nowadays, we use AI systems to write articles or even translations. These “automatic” solutions are gaining many allies. Unsurprisingly, language industry professionals are beginning to question the reliability of these growing systems. Recent developments in applications of artificial intelligence Applications of artificial intelligence have grown so dramatically in recent years that it is almost impossible to keep up with the changes. Ten years ago, for example, no one could have imagined self-driving cars. But now, they are more reality than fantasy. Another example of a new AI system is the smart vacuum cleaner. This vacuum cleaner can scan a room, identify obstacles that may stand in its way, and clean the whole room in a matter of minutes. What’s more, it doesn’t need any human help to clean. Amazing, isn’t it? Artificial intelligence technologies are developing rapidly because they can process huge amounts of data much faster than humans can, and even make more accurate predictions. Applications of artificial intelligence in language programmes However, not all developments are related to physical robots. Chatbots are on almost every website to help customers if they need any kind of assistance. By simply accessing a website, a chat will pop up and you will be able to ask any question, which artificial... read more
Audiovisual Productions: The Role of Translation and Bilingual Actors
Audiovisual productions and their translation Films, series, music, documentaries… These audiovisual productions are now an integral part of our daily lives and have become one of the most common forms of entertainment for families and friends. However, like many other businesses, the world of audiovisual production has changed and evolved over the years. The way information is communicated today is very different from the way it was communicated many years ago. In the beginning, films were silent (who doesn’t know the famous Charlie Chaplin) and therefore there was no language barrier to exporting these films. The concept of films changed when dialogues appeared. It was no longer a simple video production. Other factors also gained importance: dialogues, languages, sounds, etc. This is why translation plays such a crucial role in audiovisual productions today. Without it, language barriers could not be overcome, and films and series could not be exported. Translating audiovisual productions Dialogues and languages are not the only features that have changed the audiovisual world. There is another more recent factor to consider: streaming platforms. Everyone is familiar with these “new” platforms. They have become part of our lives in recent years. The number of series and films produced has grown exponentially since the creation of these companies. More productions, more languages, more actors, more actresses, more translation services needed… In fact, the development of this sector has been extensive and has not yet reached its peak. Films and series with multiple languages in their plots If we focus on languages, we can assume that, depending on the country where the film or series is made, the language... read more
