Merged WordstoDeeds conferences site

Posted in Conferences by

As part of the general tidying up and housekeeping of WordstoDeeds, I have made a new website which includes both the 2017 conference “Legal Translation to the Next Level“, and the 2018 conference “The Value of Legal Translation Professionals“.

Hope you all like it! At least we can look back at some memories – and hopefully make some new ones when it’s safe to do so.

Click here to visit the new site. There is now also a permanent link in the sidebar of this blog (when viewed on a computer or tablet) or if you scroll down (when viewing on a phone).

 

* The downloads are accessible using the password from the original 2017 website. If any attendee needs a reminder, do email me.

Roaring about legal translators!

Posted in News by

press-releaseYou may remember in September, when I announced the conference #W2D2017 Legal Translation to the Next Level… I said:

“Let’s make this a roaring success, and roar to the world out there that legal translators exist, and are a force to be reckoned with!“.

As you know, there are now only 12 days to go.

I have prepared a press release, and would like to enlist your help to make the world more aware of our profession through this event. It can be downloaded by clicking here for a PDF, and here for Microsoft Word format.

Please share it liberally, in every language you can!

Thank you in advance, and hope to see you there!

Quebec House to host Bijuralism and Bilingualism à la canadienne!

Posted in Conferences, News by

Following my taster post last week, I have the greatest pleasure in announcing that « Common Law in French and Civil Law in English – Bijuralism and Bilingualism à la canadienne! » will be hosted by Quebec House, the Quebec Government Office in Pall Mall, London, UK.

The seminar on Monday 6 February 2017, which follows the conference #W2D2017 Legal Translation to the Next Level, will start at 12.30 pm and end, after time for Q&A, at 2.30 pm.

This should enable conference delegates, should they wish to do so, to fly out later that afternoon and avoid the costs of an extra night in London.
