Meeting Description:

Second International Conference on Community Translation (Public Service
Translation)


Call for Papers:

After the successful 1st International Conference on Community Translation,
held at Western Sydney University in September 2014, we are pleased to issue
this call for papers for a second conference to continue addressing issues,
advances and innovations in practice, research, and education in the field of
Community Translation (Public Service Translation). 

Community Translation is essential for the civic involvement of speakers of
non-dominant languages. However, for a number of reasons, including budgetary
considerations, ''the level of recognition of community translation as a
societal obligation towards disempowered language groups is not at its best''
(Taibi, 2018: 174). Policies and practices vary from one part of the world to
another, but generally tend to show a lack of recognition, inadequate support,
and ad hoc measures. Research projects and outputs addressing Community
Translation are still very few, although a growing interest has been noted in
the last decade or so. As is affirmed in the concluding remarks of Translating
for the Community (Taibi, 2018), areas where we need further research include
community feedback (e.g. on translation needs, translator role, dissemination
methods, or translation quality), and the interface between Community
Translation and other professions and disciplines (e.g. community
interpreting, cultural mediation, social work, or social marketing). We need
to bring together and harness research contributions that are made under
different labels (healthcare/medical translation, legal translation,
institutional translation, etc.) and are relevant to the empowerment of
minority community members. Research is also needed on the role of technology
in ensuring cost-effectiveness without impacting the quality of community
translations. 

Topics:

Contributions are welcome on research and professional practice in Community
Translation in general and, in particular, on the following topics:

- Advances and innovations in Community Translation research; 
- CT curriculum design, teaching practices and learning outcomes;
- Situation of language policies and community translation services in
different parts of the world;
- Community translators as social agents;
- Translating for refugees and in conflict zones;
- Community Translation and healthcare awareness;
- CT-relevant aspects of legal translation;
- Community translation and new technologies;
- Quality assurance in community translation;
- Community translation reception and community feedback.
