I’m giving on a talk on being a technical translator this month.

You are welcome to join.
Update- the talk went great and is still available on the ITI website for those who are interested.
The basic idea of the talk was explaining the differences between technical and standard transaltion. I talked about the diferences from a theoretical view as well as a practical one. Also touched on some of the issues around getting jobs and getting paid etc. Overall it was a good sucess that I intend to repeat.
