Surveys on legal translation now closing

Posted in News by

Closing soon clockRegular readers may have noticed the links at the top left of this blog to two surveys – one for those commissioning/buying legal translations, and the other for freelance legal translators.

The surveys form part of a PhD project, and I am now about to close them and write up the results.

So if anyone knows a person that might be willing to complete either survey, and has not yet done so, could you kindly let them know asap?

Please feel free to repost/retweet/communicate this message as widely as possible. Thank you! 🙂

Just to recap…

Research into briefing & commissioning of legal translation

Posted in News by

helpAs you may have seen in my previous posts, I am currently carrying out research into the commissioning (buying / procurement) of legal translation, and the briefing of legal translators.

I have had a good response so far, but still need more replies in order to make the research as far-reaching and reliable as possible. If you know anyone in either of the above two categories, I would be really grateful if you could pass on the survey links. From now on they will appear in the left-hand sidebar of the blog, until the surveys close.

Thank you in advance!

 

Survey: Calling those commissioning legal translations

Posted in News by

160_F_47429278_5GsLSXbqijigzsuABUdsiUrQm1li9F84Following last week’s post addressed to legal translators, I would now like to ask any readers that commission (or buy / procure / receive…) legal translations, or who know someone who does, to be kind enough to pass on or complete the simple online survey at this link:

http://protra.wufoo.com/forms/commissioning-legal-translation-questionnaire/

I am looking in particular for lawyers, law firms, in-house counsel, para-legals, court workers, and the judiciary.

Please feel free to repost the survey link wherever you think is relevant.

There is also a small project website here: http://www.translationandthelaw.protrads.com/

As you may know from reading the ‘About me’ page of this blog, in addition to my other activities, I am currently researching a PhD. The above survey forms part of the project, since one of the points I am looking at is issues encountered by those commissioning translations. My aim is that the project output could lead to improvements in industry practice.

Many thanks in advance!
