But do you know what it actually means and how to use it in you r translation practice? Some people see this trend as disruptive\, unneces sary and hard to achieve. Alicja Tokarska hopes to prove that this couldn ’t be further from the truth.\n\nAlicja has been interested in the topic since 2017\, when she began translating on a professional level. In 2020\ , when she launched her full-time career\, she decided to dedicate her pra ctice to inclusive language. Soon she realised that many clients were not as opposed to the idea as she had thought\, and even came to her specifica lly to revise existing translations and make them more inclusive.\n\nIn th is workshop\, she will explain what inclusive language actually is\, talk about helpful strategies for different areas (such as gender\, race\, sexu al orientation and more) and languages\, and will provide you with sources that can further your knowledge on the subject. We will also explore incl usive language tips for various text types and specialisations. After the break\, we will divide into language-specific groups and work on a short t ranslation. This exercise will be a great opportunity to practise inclusiv e language in different target languages and discuss any doubts with colle agues.\nSpeaker\nBorn and raised in Warsaw\, Poland\, Alicja came to Glasg ow in 2009 and fell in love with Scotland. She’s been translating since 2017 and in 2020\, after completing a traineeship in the European Parliame nt in Luxembourg\, she established her company Polka Dot Translations – Inclusive Language Services. She offers translation and subtitling in the areas of film &\; TV\, marketing\, sustainable lifestyle (fashion &\ ; textiles\, beauty\, food &\; drink)\, and mental health. Her language combinations are English <\;>\; Polish\, as well as Spanish and Frenc h into English or Polish.\nCost\nWorkshop:\n\nITI Scottish Network members : free\n\nITI members (but not ScotNet): £10\n\nNon-ITI members: £25\n\n Students: free\n\n \;\n\nPlease indicate the relevant amount on the re gistration form.\n\n \n\nLunch:\n\nParticipants will be able to pay for t heir meal individually at the restaurant.\nRegistration\nTo register for t he ITI ScotNet Spring Workshop 2023\, please either fill in the Registrati on_Spring-Workshop_2023_form online and return it to treasurer@itiscotland .org.uk and make the payment online\, or print and fill in the form manual ly and post it\, together with a cheque for the relevant amount\, to Victo ria Dalrymple\, 15 Bairns Ford Ave\, New Carron\, Falkirk\, FK2 7LY\, by Friday 3 March 2023 at the latest.
