Artisti in Piazza a Pennabilli

(Montefeltro)

La vita essenziale e divertente degli artisti di strada vi porterà a ritrovare un’isola di serena felicità anche nei tempi di crisi: un antivirus naturale per ricaricare le batterie e l’entusiasmo

Dal 7 al 10 giugno 2012 a Pennabilli (Rimini)

Comunicato Stampa

Artisti Comunication

di Bisker e Rothas

Pennabilli (Rimini) : E’ l’antica rocca della Val Marecchia a ripetere la magia del più atteso raduno di buskers ed artisti di strada.

Con oltre 50 compagnie internazionali, per un totale di più di 200 artisti, che arriveranno nel Montefeltro da ogni continente, Artisti in Piazza si ripropone come evento esclusivo per gli amanti dei buskers.

Talenti di ogni arte e con qualsiasi strumento o improbabile marchingegno.

E cosi’ le piccole piazzette, le corti, le strade di pieve, diventano per 4 giorni palcoscenici improvvisati e teatri di strada, dove si affronta il presente della crisi con il filtro rilassante delle mille storie di giullari e di artisti di un tempo.

Passare alcuni giorni a Pennabilli (Montefeltro) lascia ricordi indelebili.

Ma trascorrerci almeno una notte rapisce il cuore e la fantasia.

Seguire gli artisti nelle loro performance, tutte rigorosamente " on the road", vi fara’ perdere il ritmo del tempo, riportandovi a pensieri leggeri.

Ingresso rigorosamente gratuito ai minori degli anni 14, perché i bambini possano sognare anche ad occhi aperti.

Vi proponiamo di provare questa magica esperienza durante le magiche lune di “Artisti in piazza” (www.artistiinpiazza.com) , la Corte dei Miracoli ideata dall’ eclettico gruppo di giovani condotto da Enrico Partisani.

Funamboli, mille giocolieri, fuoco, luci, musiche, mimi, artisti di ogni bottega e di ogni colore. Una esperienza anche per i bambini: anzi soprattutto loro, avranno i loro eroi ed i loro folletti. E cosi’ con l’imbrunire ed alle prime ore della notte, il fascino di Pennabilli li trasformerà in piccoli artisti di strada.

Interpreting and Technology – 2nd June 2012

Filed under: traduzioni, Uncategorized — Linguaculture @ 4:48 pm

Translation Group at Imperial College London

Interpreting and Technology

Saturday 2nd June 2012

There are still places available for the Interpreting and Technology workshopping held by the Translation Group at Imperial College on the 2nd June 2012. This is open to professionals as well as students.

Course Content
The course will start with an introduction to the implications of recent technological developments for the different interpreting modes, including technologies that enable a change of mode (con-sim, Infoport). An insight into the current working environment will be presented and the new possibilities provided by electronic document reading devices and high-speed internet connections will be examined.

Interpreting is increasingly being performed from a distance, aided by technical mediation. Remote, media, telephone, videoconference, and webcasting interpreting will be analyzed in this context.

Computer Assisted Interpreter Training (CAIT) will also be examined as a true paradigm shift that has revolutionized the way interpreters are trained today in an electronic, sometimes virtual environment. During this practical workshop, you will have the option to perform short interpretations of selected multimedia clips from English into a language of your choice to test this innovative approach.

­All these concepts will be illustrated with examples and clips of source and target material in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. Techniques and strategies, training and quality standards, physical and professional constraints, ethical questions, interpreters’ adaptation and adaptability will be discussed.

A list of useful websites and other sources of information will be given to all the participants.

Is Automated Speech Recognition the new lingua franca?
After a decision to implement a direct-to-store supply chain, a local manager of an electronics store in Boston notices an unexpected run on televisions and wants to coordinate a modified schedule with the manufacturer team leader based in Seoul, Korea. Several hours after using a translation program to send an email and facing time constraints, the local manager decides to pick up the phone and call the team leader directly. The team leader, who has been away from his desk on the manufacturing floor, answers the call and the two communicate effectively despite not having a shared language. read more…

Technologies begin catching up with market expectations
Many people have experienced the fun or frustration of playing with technologies that are not yet ready for prime time. Just consider Newton’s pilloried handwriting recognition, mobile phones in the days of spotty networks, or early attempts at plug-and-play (AKA “plug and pray”) software. Machine translation (MT) and automated speech recognition (ASR) fall into that category of innovations that have taken a while to establish their credentials and gain market acceptance. Who hasn’t laughed at MT output or been frustrated by the interactive voice response (IVR) systems that don’t seem to understand that you really do want to talk to a human representative? read more…

Making quick reference information mobile
For decades, quick reference tools such as quick reference cards, job aids and help cards have been used to assist in learning new tasks or as refreshers for tasks performed infrequently. Thanks to mobile technology, that information can now be conveniently displayed on a device when and where it’s needed. The mobile platform is a perfect medium for quick reference information. But how do you convert your existing information to mobile and ensure its legibility and functionality? read more…Leveraging the terminology treasure trove
Microsoft offers a language portal on the Internet. The portal contains terminology in about 100 languages, predominantly about software. The contents of the portal are freely accessible and can be developed further in your own database. read more…

Fortune 500 Companies that invest in translation report higher revenue
In spite of economic uncertainty, most Fortune 500 companies surveyed by research firm Common Sense Advisory increased their investment in translation in 2011. Did their investment pay off in terms of revenue growth? The answer is a resounding “yes”. Businesses that augmented their translation budget were 1.5 times more likely than their Fortune 500 peers to report an increase in total revenue. read more…

Translators without Borders launches Kenyan translation center
Translators without Borders has opened its first Healthcare Translation Center to improve access to knowledge for millions of people. Based in Nairobi, the first Healthcare Translation Center will intensively train local Kenyans to be professional translators in order to get healthcare information out to the people who really need it. Supported by the Kenyan Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, the Healthcare Translation Center will empower Kenyan communities by forming a generation of translators. Local people will be trained to be able to translate simple and detailed vital health information into major Kenyan languages. read more…
