Qualification Description
This qualification reflects the role of individuals who translate special purpose texts from one language to another, including spoken or signed languages, to convey information to a known or wide unknown audience. The translation produced must contain accurate information that is in the source text, and be fit for purpose, taking into account target audience and the end use.
The Advanced Diploma of Translating prepares translators to translate texts which contain complex language, concepts and terminology. There may be significant equivalence problems between source and target texts, which calls for extensive research. 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 and there are significant implications for client reputation and image.
The skills in this qualification must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian Standards and industry codes of practice.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
