Jessica Mariani @MarianiJS Jessica is a PhD candidate in English Language and Translation at the University of Verona, where she works as an assistant of English Language and History of the English Language. She is a Journalism Postgraduate and has worked as a journalist both in Dublin and Brussels, where she recently completed a traineeship at the European Parliament Press Unit. The multilingual setting of the European Union inspired her to set up an interdisciplinary research project entitled ‘Building a European Perspective in News Translation’, where she investigates the role of the news translator and analyses translation processes and practices involved in the information flow from European Institutions to the news media. I will talk about… ‘Trans-editors’: common ground for young journalists and translators With reference to my PhD project and academic research data, I will first present the role of the news translator in the EU context before going on to discuss what universities might do to shape future programmes for young translators and journalists and prepare them for the job market. Curri Barceló, Jennifer Vela Curri holds a BA in Translation and Interpreting and a MA in Audiovisual Translation from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

During her career as a freelancer, she has localised over 200 games and tested over 40. Currently she helps companies create multilingual content for their products, while also working as a project manager. In 2013, Curri combined her knowledge in video game industry with her passion for teaching by starting to teach game localisation for an online course. Jennifer has been working as a freelance web, software and game localiser since 2005, and gives courses on Audiovisual Translation and Software and Videogame localisation in different Spanish universities (ULPGC, ULL and UJI) and in professional associations (ATRAE). Jennifer coordinated the LocJam 2015 workshop in the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain) and, together with Curri Barceló and Samuel Strong, organised the LocJam 2015 workshop at University College London (UK.) Nowadays, she combines her activity as an independent researcher and lecturer in London with her work as Localisation Quality Manager for the Spanish market of Expedia Inc. We will talk about… Localisation jam — A non-profit videogame translation contest Videogame translation is an exciting new field, but how can you start your career if formal training is still very limited and experience is required for even the most junior positions? Let’s see how the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) offered one answer with the LocJAM contest and in doing so reached almost a thousand aspiring translators worldwide, from London to Minsk and from Tokyo to Montevideo. And more specifically, we’ll see how the IGDA Localisation Group joined the efforts of universities, companies and specialists in keeping the initiative completely free, non-profit and open-source despite a budget of zero euros. 12
