Lo avrete certamente notato, abbiamo cambiato look! Ma non è solo un cambio di vesti e layout, il nuovo sito porta con sé un ampliamento dei servizi nei settori in cui ASTW opera da sempre. Dalla traduzione in ambito medico e farmaceutico ai servizi di medical writing, dalla traduzione brevettuale al patent...

Attraverso… a final evaluation. When a thought is stuck in my head I just have to get it out, even if it’s rather cliché: end of year, time to reflect. I began writing the Attraverso column from a perspective as if I was looking out of a window… now that exactly twelve months have passed, I instead like to...

Post-editing is decidedly different from carrying out a “traditional” translation. Just as how completing a translation has intersubjective differences in terms of quality and time, similarly, considerable differences can often be noticed between post-editors in successfully completing a post-editing job.

Diversi mesi fa in un articolo contenente alcuni consigli per i post-editor raccontavo di un errore di traduzione a dir poco imbarazzante. In una cittadina del Galles, dove la legge richiede che tutti i segnali stradali mostrino il testo scritto sia in inglese sia in gallese, serviva la traduzione di un cartello per...

Today’s article is a bit different than our last one: today we’re going to take a different approach with an entirely new format, perhaps also to be used in the future. We couldn’t think of a better way to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of patent translation than with a chat to express our views. A...

Il team di Google “Arts & Culture” ha recentemente lanciato Woolaroo, un nuovo strumento per l’apprendimento e la conservazione delle lingue indigene e/o vulnerabili. Woolaroo è disponibile come app mobile per iOS e Android e utilizza la tecnologia di rilevamento delle immagini per fornire agli...
