To mark the official launch of my book Scientific and Technical Translation Explained, I will be giving a workshop on technical translation at the Irish Writers’ Centre in Dublin on 20th October. This workshop is part of the Irish Translators’ & Interpreters’ Association’s continuing professional development series and will give participants a hands-on introduction to some of the key issues in technical translation.

Some of the topics which will be covered include:

• What technical translation is and why it is so important;
• Typical technical texts and their features;
• Analysing texts and developing translation strategies;
• Developing your writing skills;
• Understanding your audience;
• Common pitfalls and how to deal with them.
