En savoir plus sur le livre
The United Nations operates in six languages, necessitating translators with high translation competence to navigate its complex environment. There is an increasing demand for qualified translators proficient in Arabic, Chinese, and Russian, as the UN's language services are highly centralized while university systems are diverse and decentralized. This disparity has made effective collaboration between CIUTI institutes and the UN a priority. The challenge lies in how universities can better train translators to meet the specific needs of the UN, especially as many vacancies arise. The CIUTI Forum, held in January 2007 at the UN in Geneva, focused on the evolving language needs of the organization. Key issues addressed included the scarcity of certain language combinations and the specific training required for UN purposes. Contributors discussed various strategies to align the training provided by institutions with the UN's language service needs, emphasizing the importance of cultural communication across all disciplines. The forum highlighted two main axes of communication: internal communication among experts and external communication with the general public, underscoring the necessity for effective communicative efficiency in translator training.
