The venue is about 10 mins wal k from Waverley Station. For lunch\, we will be going to the nearby Ciao R oma Italian restaurant (64 South Bridge\, EH1 1LS). Both venues offer whee lchair accessible toilets.\n\nTopic\n\nTranslating botany may seem like a niche specialism\, but think how often gardening\, agriculture\, forestry\ , plant research\, conservation and similar topics crop up and require us to know how to deal with some aspect of botanical nomenclature\, morpholog y or ecology! What is more\, the issues involved in botanical translation can also be applied to many other areas of science\, from astronomy to zoo logy. This talk is therefore not for the botanical specialist but for anyo ne interested in methods to cope with the many fields in which authors wri te about plants.\n\nThe first session will present some of the common chal lenges of botanical translation\, illustrated by examples from the speaker ’s own translations of such diverse texts as a field guide to Mediterran ean flowers\, a book on healing plants and a tropical plant lexicon. Examp les from the German originals will be glossed for non-German speakers. Par ticipants will have the chance to discover and solve some\nillustrative ex amples via interactive polls.\n\nThe second session will be a translation exercise in small language-specific groups\, followed by a plenary to shar e the translation challenges and how these were solved. There will be one text out of English and foreign language texts for those translating into English. The subject matter will of course be botanical but not highly tec hnical.\n\nBy the end we will be better able to meet the common challenges of botanical translation giving\nparticipants creative strategies to appl y in their own field\, be this scientific or not.\n\nSpeaker \n\nLynda Hep burn originally trained in ecological sciences\, working as a field botani st for nature\nconservation in the Scottish Highlands for around 20 years\ , before embarking on a second career as a\ntranslator. While translating a varied range of mainly science and technology\, she is always delighted\ nwhen a botanical translation project comes along.\n\nCost\n\nWorkshop:\nI TI Scottish Network members: free\nNon-ITI members: £25\nITI members (but not ScotNet): £10\nStudents: free\nPlease choose the relevant ticket whe n registering on Eventbrite.\n\nLunch:\nParticipants will be able to pay f or their meal individually at the restaurant.\nPlease choose the relevant ticket when registering on Eventbrite to indicate that you would like to j oin for lunch.\n\nRegistration\n\nTo register for the ITI ScotNet Spring W orkshop 2025\, please click on the following Eventbrite link:\n\nhttps://w ww.eventbrite.co.uk/e/scotnet-autumn-workshop-2025-translating-botany-not- all-a-bed-of-roses-tickets-1580632828339?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\nPlease regis ter by Friday 26 September 2025 at the latest.\n\nGeneral information\n\nI f you can offer or would like a lift or overnight accommodation\, please p ost a message on the ScotNet e-group or let Norma know by emailing Norma@t clweb.co.uk.\n\n5 x £30 grants are available for ScotNet members living o utside the central belt who wish to attend this event.
