In this context translation plays an essential role to ensur e international visitors can access and understand heritage sites\, but he ritage translation also brings its own set of challenges.\n\nBased on prev ious discussions from the ‘Translating Scotland's Heritage’ research n etwork\, on my own research on French translation provision in Scottish he ritage sites\, and on a pilot project I recently carried out for the Kelpi es in Falkirk\, I will address some of the key challenges posed by transla tion in a heritage context: from questions of terminology and genre conven tions to issues of cultural mediation\, heritage ownership and institution al narratives. I will also discuss some of the additional accessibility is sues brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and how they might impact transla tion provision in heritage sites in the medium to long term.\n\nAlthough m y work focuses on the translation of Scottish heritage into French\, I am keen to hear from the other speakers and from members of the audience as t o whether they believe these challenges are the same across other cultural backgrounds and language pairs.\n\nAbout the speaker\n[su_table responsiv e="yes"]\n\n\n\n\nPauline Côme is a Doctoral Researcher in Translation St udies at the University of Strathclyde where she previously completed a ma ster’s degree in Business Translation and Interpreting.\n\nHer research project investigates the use and impact of translated materials on French- speaking visitors at Scottish heritage sites. She has worked as an in-hous e linguist for a Scottish language services provider and continues to work as a freelance translator\, specialising in translation for education\, h eritage and tourism.\n\n\n\n\n[/su_table]\nPanelists\nOur panel will addre ss practical questions of heritage translation and interpreting. The three panellists have wide-ranging experience with different aspects of heritag e translation and will discuss aspects such as the particular challenges t he field presents\, audience expectations\, collaboration and multimedia. They will also answer questions from participants.\n\nOur panellists are:\ n\n[su_row][su_column size="1/2" center="no" class=""]Katrin Frahm (Englis h to German)\n\nKatrin has been involved in the translation of Scottish he ritage texts since 1995. Major projects have included a variety of visitor information leaflets for Historic Environment Scotland\, among these for popular sites like Glasgow Cathedral\, Edinburgh Castle\, Melrose Abbey an d Maeshowe on Orkney. She has particularly enjoyed translating the visitor guide to Mackintosh House for the Hunterian at the University of Glasgow. Katrin is especially interested in the challenges posed by the translatio n of heritage texts for audio guides and her work in this area has include d the audio guide to Abbotsford House and the German version of the City S ightseeing Glasgow Bus Tour.[/su_column] [su_column size="1/2" center="no" class=""]Norma Tait (English to Portuguese)\n\nOver the years\, Norma has worked as a translator on several Scottish heritage projects\, including historic sites and museums. She worked on the Visit Scotland brochure\, Ro sslyn Chapel and Wallace Monument guidebooks\, the Glasgow Cathedral leafl et and the Britannia audio guide among others. She has also translated tex ts for heritage sites outside Scotland\, for instance the Buckingham Palac e and Windsor Castle books and the Wimbledon Museum guide.[/su_column][/su _row]\n\nReiko Konagai Inder (English to Japanese)\n\nReiko’s first heri tage translation was the guidebook of the Tomb of the Eagles in Orkney whe n she was living there in 1989. She was then asked to do a translation for Edinburgh Castle. These initial projects happened by chance\, but she fou nd them very rewarding. Since 1999\, as well as translating\, Reiko has be en working as an interpreter and as a qualified tour guide\, encountering translations and audio guides in various heritage sites throughout Scotlan d.\nAfternoon session\nFollowing the morning talk and panel discussion on Zoom\, the afternoon will take a novel format. Small local groups of trans lators will undertake excursions to nearby heritage sites in order to stud y what is there\, what English interpretation is available and what foreig n language heritage translation (if any) is provided. In the case of trans lations of heritage material being provided\, the group will discuss and d ocument such aspects as how this has been done\, whether it is effective f or the target audience and any improvements they can suggest. In the case of no heritage translation provision\, the group will discuss and document how this could best be done (in the languages represented in the group) a nd what challenges might arise.\n\nIn either case\, the group will documen t their findings\, discussion and suggestions in some form to share with t he rest of the workshop participants. This sharing will be done on an onli ne platform (details to follow) plus at an optional Zoom gathering on Thur sday 26 August\, 5-6.30pm.\n\nDocumentation can be in the form of a short (informal) video\, a small presentation with a few slides with photos and bullet points\, etc.\n\nOrganisation\n\nOrganising the afternoon session w ill be mainly the responsibility of the local group\, but the groups will be set up by the Committee in advance and a group “leader” selected.\n \nThis requires us to register for the summer workshop as soon as possible \, but by mid-July at the latest. When we know the geographical spread of the participants\, we can organise groups\, preferably on the basis of Cou ncil areas (to avoid any potential issues with travel restrictions). Obvio usly\, Edinburgh and maybe Glasgow will have the largest number of partici pants\, but other centres e.g. Aberdeenshire\, Perthshire\, Ayrshire\, the Central Belt\, can also gather in small groups – even a group of two ca n have a discussion. In the most remote areas\, individuals can choose to do this excursion by themselves and make a “group” of one.\n\nOur rati onale behind this is that a) we do not want to offer a whole-day workshop on Zoom\; b) we want to facilitate something that will be possible whateve r the current Covid regulations at the time\; and c) we want to use the ch ance to meet up to the extent that regulations permit.\n\nThe registration form asks for extra information\, specifically with regard to this aftern oon session. So\, please reply to all the questions on whether you will at tend an excursion\; what Council area you live in\; whether you are willin g to lead a group i.e. research a suitable site to visit\, investigate/arr ange transport\, liaise with other group members. We will be relying on th ese “local leaders” for the success of the workshop so\, if you have a ny suggestions for a suitable attraction in your area and would be happy t o coordinate a small group\, please do consider contributing. Please also state whether you will attend the follow-up Zoom sharing event. Each group will need to choose one person to put their findings onto the online plat form and if possible report/share at the Thursday Zoom.\nCost\n[su_table r esponsive="yes"]\n\n\n\nMembership status\nSaturday Workshop\nSaturday Exc ursion\nThursday Zoom\n\n\nScotNet members\nFree\nDependent on site visite d and transport costs\nFree\n\n\nITI (non ScotNet) members:\n£10\nFree\n\ n\nNon-members:\n£15\nFree\n\n\nStudents:\nFree\nFree\n\n\n\n[/su_table]\ nBookings\nTo register\, please head over to Zoom.
