IJET19 Recap: Fred Uleman's Translation Workshop
For the next in our release of full videos of several presentations from IJET-19, we're pleased to continue the series with the following presentation from Fred Uleman:
Title: Translation Workshop
Speaker: Fred Uleman
Abstract:
This is not a presentation in which I will give you the right answers. Rather, we will all be working on a short passage (a company president talking about how he turned things around) and will arrive at, if not the right answers, at least some interesting ways to approach the job, together. I will try to have a sample translation or two as starting points for the discussion, but these will not be my translations and I expect us to disagree with much of what they did. This is a discussion to bring out useful mental tricks that you can then use in your own translation work. Please come prepared to participate.

Chris Blakeslee on Economic Thinking for Translators
JAT Director Chris Blakeslee, an economics and finance specialist, has written a thought-provoking article that frames everything a translator does in an economic perspective. Use the formulas he provides to find out whether it makes more economic sense for you to hire an editor or to use a bookkeeper, and enjoy the JAT nijikai beer knowing you are actually being paid for it!

IJET19 Recap:「風が吹けば桶屋が儲かる」、因果関係の表現 by Atsushi Tomii
For the next in our release of full videos of several presentations from IJET-19, we're pleased to continue the series with the following presentation from Atsushi Tomii:
Title: 「風が吹けば桶屋が儲かる」、因果関係の表現
Speaker: 富井篤
Abstract:
技術文とは、因果関係の羅列といっても過言ではない。したがって、英和翻訳・和英翻訳を問わず、因果関係の表現は、決して避けて通ることのできるものではない。
このセッションでは、（１）英語における因果関係を表すさまざまの表現法を提示し、（２）これらの表現法を駆使して、いかに因果関係が表現できるかについて解説し、（３）さらに、これらの表現法をいろいろ組み合わせることによりさまざまの表現ができることを、因果関係の数と文章の数との関係にも触れながら検証し、（４）最後に、実例をもとに確認していく。
補足として、因果関係の表現法をいろいろ組み合わせる際の注意点をいくつか提示する。

IJET19 Recap: Raising Productivity with Speech Recognition, by Chris Blakeslee
The JAT board is pleased to announce that starting today, we'll be releasing full videos of several presentations from IJET-19, for our far-flung membership to enjoy. We hope that these videos will be a good resource for those who couldn't make it to Okinawa (or who could but couldn't make it out of bed in time).
We're kicking off the series with the following presentation from JAT director-elect Chris Blakeslee:
Title: Raising Productivity with Speech Recognition
Speaker: Chris Blakeslee
Abstract: When the translation industry made the leap a few decades ago to computer-based word processing, it left its typewriters behind. The next big leap, to speech recognition, does not require leaving our keyboards behind. Not only will I introduce you to this awesome technology, I will convince you to give it a try, or another try if your first attempt (like mine seven years ago) did not work out so well. My presentation includes a rarely attempted live demo, the equivalent of a trapeze artist performing without a net. As an added bonus, I'll unveil my productivity-boosting, zero-gravity cockpit layout. Get ready to strap in!
(Note that these videos are available for members only. The password required to view the videos can be found on the JAT mailing list.)
We'll be announcing more videos as we continue post-editing over the next few weeks and months, so stay tuned!
