Qualification Description
This qualification covers the competencies required to translate special purpose texts from one language to another, to convey information written using specific terminology for a specific audience in functionally equivalent translated texts that are accurate and appropriate to the context, target audience and end use.
The Advanced Diploma of Translating prepares translators to translate texts where there may be significant equivalence problems between source and target text, the subject of the text has its own specific terminology, or there is need to undertake extensive research and translate complex language and concepts. Specific audiences may be found in commerce and marketing, government and international relations – including immigration, both regular and humanitarian – the media, and sectors generally considered to be professional, such as law, health and medicine, technology and science. Assignments may deal with material which requires significant quality assurance processes as the consequences of mistranslation can be far reaching.
The English to LOTE specialisation is applicable to candidates whose strongest language is their LOTE.
The LOTE to English specialisation is applicable to candidates whose strongest language is English.
The LOTE-English both directions specialisation is applicable to candidates who have equal facility in both their LOTE and English.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
