Interpreter Practicum:


"Through a Technical Writer’s Ear: Clarity and Consistency in Interpreted English"


with

Kristina Harman, CPTC


September 26, 2026, Saturday

10 AM US Pacific time/1 PM US Eastern Time

2 hours


on Zoom




 





How is your technical interpretation perceived by the audience? What would a monolingual technical writer say about it?


Our second webinar with Kristina will be very practical: you will have an opportunity to sign up as a volunteer interpreter (during registration) and interpret into English simultaneously in the webinar. Kristina will be listening to your interpretation and will be making style and technical suggestions.


We will also be discussing a transcript of simultaneous interpretation.


So sign up and let us go into the nitty-gritty details!



The goal is practical: strengthening clarity in the language being delivered to the audience.


Everybody is welcome to join and listen, virtual booth availability is limited.
