PSPTIS063 - Translate special purpose texts from LOTE to English
This unit describes the skills required to translate special purpose texts from another language to English. It identifies the skills needed to convey the purpose and use of the source information in functionally equivalent translated texts for a specific audience.
This unit applies to those working as translators of special purpose texts where there may be significant equivalence problems between source and target text and where the subject of the text has its own specific terminology. There may also be a need to undertake extensive research and translate complex language and concepts.
It requires sound conceptual understanding of the material being translated and its context in order to produce translations that are accurate and appropriate for the context, target audience and end use. The language transfer process requires high level language skills and the ability to apply specialist resources and subject specific glossaries, including specialist bilingual glossaries.
The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and industry codes and standards for ethical translating and interpreting adhered to.
Those undertaking this unit would work independently using a broad range of support resources as required, while performing sophisticated tasks in a range of specialised contexts.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
