Uno straordinario progetto dedicato a Enzo Maiorca

Uno straordinario progetto dedicato a
Enzo Maiorca. Atleta di fama internazionale, il più rappresentativo del mondo subacqueo, da sempre uomo di cultura e di impegno sociale, ambientalista e conoscitore del mare, ha dedicato la sua vita per la tutelarlo.
Non basterebbero pagine intere per descrivere la grandezza della sua persona, ma basta ricordare la Medaglia d'oro al Merito di Marina o la Medaglia d'oro al Valore Atletico.
Da un' idea del produttore e regista RAI Gianfranco Bernabei e del regista Alfredo Lo Piero, coppia che ritorna a collaborare dopo il grande successo di
"Benvenuta Provvidenza" (omaggio al film La terra trema di Luchino Visconti), il Centro Studi
Laboratorio d'Are e Scuola di cinema a Catania organizzano nelle città di Catania e Siracusa, per migliaia di studenti, una ricca ed intensa settimana dedicata al campione di immersioni.
Accurata la scelta per gli istituti scolastici da coinvolgere, per sensibilità e linea di formazione professionale: per Catania è stato Archè. Archè, infatti, è un ente che opera in Sicilia con attività principali alla formazione, all'accoglienza e presa in carico, con orientamento professionale, consulenza orientativa e accompagnamento al lavoro, prediligendo il rispetto dell'ambiente e la sua salvaguardia.
Per la città di Siracusa, sono stati scelti l'Istituto Tommaso Gargallo e l'Istituto Alessandro Rizza, per Caltagirone invece, l'Istituto Majorana- Arcoleo, il cui centro sportivo inaugurato proprio dalla figlia Patrizia’ è dedicato al grande atleta aretuseo.

On site and on hand. I always like to give an ho

On site and on hand.

I always like to give an honest account of my life as an interpreter, and I’m conscious that there’s an unsung hero behind every successful interpreting assignment.

The project manager.

As a client, if you’ve been lucky enough to have only experienced smoothly-run events, then it’s unlikely you know who the project manager is!

The thing is – it’s not just luck that they’ve run smoothly!

Project managers are the glue that holds every event together. The best ones are physically present at the event, taking care of everything from dietary requirements of attendees to regular water for interpreters (sound minor but it’s SO important.)

As an interpreter I’ve worked on both sides for agencies and for my direct clients, so I can attest to the work that project managers do backstage͟, and I can appreciate their role when, as an interpreter, I’m on the receiving end of their thoughtful service.

Do you have any unsung heroes or heroines on your team?

I was only the interpreter

At face value, that’s quite a demoralising sentence, but seen in context, it was a compliment.

At a recent assignment, I was interpreting for the management team of an investment business.

Having worked in this arena for many years, and with a lot of experience interpreting for asset management equity firms, I was able to call on this experience to provide guidance here and there (only when asked by the client, of course!)

At the end of the meeting, the prospective client asked me my role within the company and how long I’d been in asset management. When she found out I was “only” the interpreter, she was suitably impressed.

💡 Why am I posting this? To impress upon businesses the importance of using interpreters with relevant experience and knowledge.

The support and expertise that a suitably qualified interpreter can provide makes them almost an extra team member when you need to pull out all the stops.

How do you vet your interpreters? 💬

"Today I presented my papers to the Italian Consul

"Today I presented my papers to the Italian Consulate in London and they congratulated me on the presentation of the documents and the Italian translations. I would be honoured to recommend you to anyone for your service."

"The Consulate have certified the translation and so of course I am very happy with it! Thanks for your very prompt service."

It's such a privilege to be able to assist in politics like this (and a very interesting time to be involved, too)!

🌍 Along with the Italian Consulate, I've also worked with G8 ministers, the President of the European Parliament, the United Nations and more.

🤝 And at Italian Interpreter London, I help to build bridges between European workers with full European Works Council meeting support!

Not much budget - not (necessarily) a problem! So

Not much budget - not (necessarily) a problem!

Something I hear a lot from event organisers is that the multilingual elements of events can be expensive. From finding the right interpreters to hiring equipment....it all adds up.

I’ve recently interpreted at events using a “tour guide” system for interpreting, and it’s been a lot of fun. 🎉

Wondering how it works? 🤔

Well, it does what it says on the tin, really: the interpreter accompanies delegates and interprets for them as they have their meetings, do tours of facilities, etc.

Each delegate has their own headset for their own language, so they have access to the same high-quality interpretation as usual.

I find it works brilliantly for smaller events, though for large scale events in big venues (with big background noise!) and hundreds of attendees, it’s not an option.

But then again, those sorts of events tend to have bigger budgets! 💵

Do you think tour guide interpreting would work for your events? 💬

What are your plans for this weekend? ☀

I like to begin and end each day with a little time away from my phone - even if it's just five
minutes. It can be so easy to start scrolling through social media and emails before even getting out of bed, let alone while you're drinking your coffee. ☕

This morning, try leaving your phone on the other side of the room while you eat breakfast. 🥞
Try eating mindfully, or reading something offline. Start your day for you, rather than
immediately responding to external requests, and you'll find yourself in a far more peaceful and centred mindset as you begin your week. 📱

Translating press releases - the importance of pro

Translating press releases - the importance of promptness ⏰

We all know how temporary news is - in fact, in today’s social media society, news is even more transient than ever!

At Italianinterpreter.london we translate a lot of press releases. 📧

The one thing that my communications clients value over anything else is promptness. A 24-hour turnaround is vital in our whirlwind world.

Before writing this post, 🔍 I looked through my emails from several communications agencies I work with: “urgent” was the word I saw most often in the email chains!

Here are my two top tips for communications agencies who frequently require translations of their press releases:

🗓️ Make sure the timeline for final delivery is clearly communicated to you.
📚 Ensure you provide any and all reference material at the beginning of the process.

That way, everyone has clear and realistic expectations and time isn’t wasted on waiting for replies to queries. Follow these tips and your important news item won’t be out of date before it’s even online.

What about you: Do you work with press releases? 💭

March is a month to celebrate women. March is a

March is a month to celebrate women.

March is a month in which Italy along with the rest of the world celebrate women, with International Women’s Day.

Known as La Festa della Donna, this day in Italy has a symbolism more reminiscent of Mother’s Day. A feature of the day unique to Italy, is that often women – as well as men – gift flowers (mimose) to important women in their lives on this day, marking their colleagues and friends’ achievements, and as an act of solidarity, recognising the impact that they have made along with their value in society.

There are many fabulous women whom I’d like to honour on La Festa della Donna, I really am so fortunate to meet such inspiring women in my line of work.

One woman who has hugely inspired me, and to whom I would be delighted to gift flowers, is Nane Annan, widow of the former Secretary General of the United Nations and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Kofi Annan.

I had the pleasure of interpreting for Nane some years ago, at an assignment at the International Women’s House in Rome, and the assignment and her impact have stayed with me.

During the time her husband was in office, she focused in particular on developing programmes relating to girls’ education and women’s empowerment. I was lucky to interpret for her during a visit to the Women’s House, which provided shelter and a safe place for women who had been victims of acid attacks. Nane was poised, kind and genuine, and it was an honour to interpret for her: a true advocate of women and a real inspiration.

Memories of the assignment have, as you’d expect, stayed with me over the years, and I was delighted to read that the International Women’s House is still going from strength to strength, providing vital support and becoming a cultural engine for women’s actions.
I am delighted to present my virtual mimosa to Nane.

How will you mark La Festa della Donna, and whom will you honour?

Machine vs 👩 Human Language Interpretation: Is

Machine vs 👩 Human Language Interpretation: Is AI Fluent Enough?

Interpreting is such an important and often unifying aspect of communication, especially for live events. It gives speakers of different languages a chance to understand each other and communicate effectively. 💡

While AI interpretation has entered the metaphorical “chat,” making some pretty significant advancements in recent years, many still prefer human interpreters (like me) for a good reason.

💡 Human expertise- As human interpreters, we connect with people in a way that AI can't match. We’re trained to pick up on all kinds of subtle cues, like body language, sarcasm, and cultural context, that are critical for conveying a message accurately. And when something unexpected comes up, like audio problems or interruptions, we’re ready to roll with it and ensure the interpretation stays on track.

🌟 Quality- Regarding quality, AI interpretation doesn’t compare to human interpreters. Our profession requires a deep understanding of multiple languages and cultures and the ability to process information quickly and accurately. While AI systems have made great strides in recent years, even the most advanced AI interpretation can’t handle conversations with multiple speakers.

🤝 Personalization- Live events have changed, especially within the last three years. There has been a global reset on how companies and organizations host events. Most companies are now adding an online or hybrid component. As human interpreters, we provide a level of customization that AI cannot offer. Whether it's a virtual business meeting, a hybrid diplomatic summit, or an in-person public speech, we’ve got the flexibility to support you wherever you need it.

So, which do you prefer - AI or human interpretation? Let me know in the comments below! 💬
