Jessica Cucchiarini Jessica holds a BA in Modern Languages from the ‘Carlo Bo’ University of Urbino in Italy and an MA in Translation Studies from the University of Birmingham. While in the UK she developed an interest for science and medicine and decided to specialise in medical translation. Jessica recently started her business as a freelance translator (JC-translate.com) thanks to a start-up entrepreneurial grant from the University of Birmingham. She also works as a project manager in a multinational translation company. I will talk about… My First Steps in the Medical Translation Industry. Challenges and Solutions. There are a number of challenges that I was faced with as a young translator when trying to ‘make it’ in the medical translation industry: building up my linguistic/translation background, knowledge of the translation industry, competition, specialised knowledge, getting started and finding work. I would like to talk about some of these key challenges and the solutions I found, from studying for an MA in Translation Studies to attending extra professional development courses, obtaining a Certificate in Good Clinical Practice, gaining experience as a project manager and finally creating my own freelance business. Lucia Púčiková @TradiVari Lucia is an experienced translator and managing director of her own translation company, TradiVari. Languages are both her vocation and passion. She holds a Master’s degree in Translation from the Translation and Interpretation Institute (ISTI) in Brussels and has worked in the Web Translation Unit of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation, where she was instrumental in translating the Slovak sections of Commission websites. In 2013 Lucia decided to found her own translation company, which she currently manages from Udine in Italy. I will talk about… It is not always easy to turn your passion into a vocation but it is certainly worth it. During this discovery journey I have collected some travel tips that I would like to share now with those embarking on the same challenging expedition. These might help them reach the destination faster or at least in a pleasant way. 10
Thursday 29 October 11.30—12.45 Lightning project presentations De Gasperi room Plenary session Five young professionals take the floor and offer us a glimpse of the projects they are working on. Moderators: XOSÉ CASTRO ROIG, JORGE DIAZ-CINTAS Chiara Vanone Chiara works at Google European Headquarters as AdWords account manager. In 2013 she completed her studies in Specialised Translation and Conference Interpreting at the University of Modern Languages for Interpreters and Translators in Trieste (Italy), focusing her academic research on localisation trends and marketing influences on internationalisation projects. As a CIUTI Prize Winner, she presented her final dissertation (‘Localisation in the web-marketing era’) at the 2015 CIUTI <strong>Forum</strong> organised by the UN. I will talk about… ‘Localise with Google' is an initiative developed with Google’s localisation team to give both Bachelor’s and Master’s degree students a better understanding of skills, trends and opportunities behind today’s globalisation, internationalisation, localisation and translation (GILT) market. The project started in February 2015 in partnership with Rachele Maggiolini, an Italian language specialist at Google. Estefania Pio Estefania studied specialised translation at the University of Geneva Faculty of Translation and Interpreting (FTI), graduating in 2012. As part of her current position as a teaching and research assistant, she is coordinating a collaborative subtitling project with MA students at her alma mater. Since graduating, she has been working as a professional freelance translator (into French) and also runs a professional development workshop on revision (German into French) for experienced translators in Switzerland. I will talk about… Subtitling MOOCs: a collaborative translation project with a team of MA Students. The ‘Coursera Subtitling Project’ offers MA students at the University of Geneva Faculty of Translation and Interpreting the opportunity to subtitle English-language MOOCs (massive open online courses) in French. The project involves translation, revision and different aspects of project management such as terminology, quality control, deadlines and communication. 11
