Editors, Translators, and Working in Multilingual Environments

Editors and translators are often called upon to work on many different types of projects, and, occasionally, they work directly with each other. What are the dynamics of the editor-translator relationship? What approaches do editors and translators take with their work? How are these approaches similar? How do they differ? What makes a good translation? How can editors improve a good translation and make it exceptional?

Come to this month’s meeting to hear veteran translator Denis Louis Bousquet and veteran editor Marie-Lynn Hammond discuss working in multilingual environments and on multilingual projects. Members of the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario are being invited to this special program, so there will also be many new people to meet and network with.

After many years working as a singer-songwriter and playwright, with a detour as a CBC radio host, Marie-Lynn Hammond decided to become an editor. Since then she’s proofread, in both French and English, everything from recipes to biographies to annual reports, and she has edited materials ranging from novels to United Nations documents to French translations of Dennis Lee’s poetry for children.

Denis Louis Bousquet, certified translator, is the president of the Canadian Translators, Terminologists, and Interpreters Council and the director, independent translators, of the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario. He is involved with the Canadian Advisory Committee to ISO TC 37 (a technical committee on translation standards) and owns Nautilus Translation Ltd., a translation company established in 1971 that specializes in the translation of technical documents.
