The European Commission has helpfully produced a video guide to assist potential applicants interested in the new call for tenders for translation services (#TRAD23).
The video contains four presenations:
Following last Friday’s post on the release of the EU translation memories, here is another very useful resource for you.
The Directorate-General for Translation at the European Commission has just released an updated version (eighth edition) of its English Style Guide.
As many of you know, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation and the Joint Research Centre make freely available translation memories which include the majority of the European Union’s legislative documents (Acquis Communautaire) and some other documents not forming part of the Acquis, in 24 EU languages.
The aim is to support multilingualism, language diversity and the re-use of Commission information.
Une table ronde « Justice : le droit à la traduction aujourd’hui » aura lieu à Paris le mardi 22 mars 2016 de 16h30 à 19h00, admission gratuite.
As a reminder, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation and the Joint Research Centre make freely available translation memories which include the European Union’s legislative documents (Acquis Communautaire) in 24 EU languages.
Following my post in April, I would like to let you know that the translation memories made available by the Directorate-General for Translation at the European Commission Joint Research Centre have been updated for the second time this year.
In the April 2012 release, documents up to 2010 were included. Now, 2011 data has been added – a further 6 million translation units. Somewhat confusingly, the new update is called “DGT-TM-2012” even though the data is from 2011.
New features of DGT-TM-2012 are:
The translation memories are parallel texts of the entire body of European legislation, comprising all the treaties, regulations and directives adopted by the European Union (EU), in 23 languages: Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, German, Greek, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish and Swedish.
You can download them from this page. Scroll down to “DGT-TM-release 2012” for the 2011 data. Information on how to produce bilingual extractions appears on the same page.
On 20 and 21 September 2012, the Directorate-General for Translation of the European Commission (DGT) will organize the second edition of its Translation Studies Days in Brussels.
At this event, representatives from academia, public translation services and the language industry will meet to discuss studies covering a wide range of topics regarding translation, multilingualism, and international legal terminology.
