Legal Translation – A Challenge to Translation Theory and Translation Practice
Workshop – Call for participation
Stefanos Vlachopoulos, workshop organizer, Technological Educational Institution of Epirus, Greece, has asked us to announce the following event:
Everyone has the right to be informed promptly and in detail in a language which he/she understands about the nature and cause of the accusation against him/her (European Convention on Human Rights).
With the Directive 2010/64/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 20 October 2010 on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings and the Directive 2012/13/EU of 22 May 2012 on the right to information in criminal proceedings the first two acts concerning the introduction of common fundamental rights in the EU member countries have been presented. Both directives are expected more or less to rub off on the translation and interpreting services provided in police departments or in courts.
The Directive 2010/64/EU emphasises the need for high quality translation and interpreting services in hearings and criminal proceedings so as to safeguard the fair treatment of foreigners ignorant of the national language before police and court authorities.
Although translators and interpreters in criminal proceedings should be able to safeguard translation and interpreting services of uncompromising quality, this is not always the case. Translation and interpreting in hearings and courts is handled differently not only internationally but also within the same jurisdiction. The use of laypersons or the cheapest alternatives force both authorities and foreigners to make crucial decisions on the basis of poor translation and interpreting services.
We welcome proposals addressing the following topics (but do not rule out other more general proposals):
- Strength and weakness of the Directives
- The transposition oft he Directives 2010/64/EU and 2012/13/EU in the member states
- Professional changes associated with the transposition of the Directives
- The implications for the transposition for the training and assessment of legal translators and court interpreters
- Good practices associated with the Directives
Proposals should be sent to legaltranslation@translata.info by 30th June 2014. Notification of paper acceptance will be sent by 31st July 2014. Acceptance of your submitted contribution entails automatic registration for the TRANSLATA II conference and conference fees apply.

First International SOS-VICS Conference “Building communication bridges in gender violence” to be held on 25 and 26 September 2014 at the University of Vigo, Spain
The approval in Spain of Basic Law 1/2004 of 28th December, 2004, on Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence has greatly contributed to fighting gender violence. However, the problem is still present in our society and statistics indicate that the nmber of gender violence cases among foreign women is extremely high in Spain and other EU countries.
In Spain, the law provides that professionals who assist victims/survivors of gender violence should receive specialised training and therefore, interpreters must be provided specialised training in this field in order to cater to the communication rights of these women. The project Speak Out for Support (SOS-VICS) is creating tools for such specialised training of interpreters and is simultaneously striving to make the public administration aware of the need to work with professional, specialised interpreters. This project began in November, 2012, and will end in October, 2014. It will culminate with the First International SOS-VICS Conference entitled “Building communication bridges in gender violence” which will be held in Vigo, Spain, on 25th and 26th September, 2014.

New Tasks for Legal Interpreters and Translators in the Enlarged Europe
On the occasion of the 4th General Assembly of EULITA, this conference will be hosted by TEPIS (Polish Society of Sworn and Specialized Translators) in cooperation with ÖVGD (Austrian Association of Certified Court Interpreters) in Krakow, Poland, from 3 to 5 April 2014.
Conference languages: English, German and Polish.
In 2004, ten countries, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe, became EU members. Both the acquis communautaire and EU Directive 2010/64 on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings triggered major changes in the legal and professional status of interpreters and translators working in judicial settings. On the occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of the EU Enlargement, the Krakow Conference would like to provide a platform for judicial stakeholders and trainers of legal interpreters and translators to report about the main challenges and achievements of this past decade. Contributors are requested to send abstracts (max. 250 words) of their papers and short CVs to tepis@tepis.org.pl by 31st December 2013.
