2025 Webinars with CCC #5 - Meaning-Based Interpretation: Beyond Medical Terminology

#5 Meaning-Based Interpretation: Beyond Medical Terminology Live session: Wednesday, April 9, 2025, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET Presenter: Julio Jimenez We, medical interpreters and translators, have the responsibility to be familiar with as much medical terminology as possible to do an effective job. However, terminology accounts for less than 5% of the information contained in the communication between doctors and patients. What about the remaining 95%? This is where things can get problematic for the patient if we allow the source of the information (oral or written) to overly influence us. What things do we need to consider to produce an idiomatic interpretation or translation, one based on the meaning and not on the structure of the message? How can we avoid translating word by word? This presentation will touch on several aspects of the source language that are a challenge for us, such as redundancies, false cognates, irregular grammar, and idiomatic expressions. It will also explain what the concept “garbage in-garbage out” is applied to translation and interpretation and why we humans to be better than the machines if we want to keep thriving in this industry.
