    Using expertise in two languages and familiarity with two cultures, translators hope to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps and thus minimise translation loss. In technical translation, however, a third gap exists. Drawing on my 20 years' experience as a professional translator, I aim to help students bridge this stylistic gap so that they may achieve the translator's secondary aim of maximizing translation gain and acquire added value in the competitive translation market.”

    Professional translators do not need special courses on translation theories; they do not need separate classes in linguistics; they need not learn languages in a special way; they have no need to understand how technologies or corpora work. They really just need practice, discussion, then more practice and more discussion, along with some fun in the classroom.”
