Nadine and I recently received this information from Fred Uleman about an upcoming translation training opportunity in Japan. See below for details. -Jim, JLD Admin
Translation Reboot Camp
What:
The Translation Reboot Camp is an opportunity to learn from some of the very best in the J->E translation business in a concentrated series of workshops using field-specific material to provide broadly applicable insights. The small numbers, fantastic student:instructor ratio, and residential format with everyone (students and instructors alike) staying at the seminar facility ensure abundant problem-solving and discussion. If you already have some real-life J-E translation experience and want to improve your game, this is for you.
Participation:
Participation is limited to twenty students.
Instructors:
Tony Atkinson, Sarah Bull, Helen Iwata, Ginny Takemori, Fred Uleman, and Richard Walker, each of whom will each lead a workshop in a specialty area and all of whom will provide advice on productivity enhancement, business practices, and more in an informal, personalized setting.
When:
Starts on Friday evening (April 10), ends by noon on Sunday (April 12)
Where:
Shonan Village Center seminar facility in Hayama, Kanagawa
Cost:
JPY100,000/person (includes single-room accommodations for two nights, five meals, and workshop materials; does not include transportation to and from the venue)
Outlook:
While we hope to repeat this initiative, including in the E->J direction, we cannot promise. If you are interested, sign up for this trail-blazing first one.
To register:
Registration starts when you complete the application form (available from rc[at]jpnres.com) and return it by March 15 at latest. Because we expect more applicants than we can accept, there will be a selection process and you will be notified by March 23. If you are accepted, you should please remit payment to the designated account by March 31. Failure to remit by that date will mean forfeiting your place, which will go to someone else.
Clarification:
Please address questions to rc[at]jpnres.com.
