The discussion was further developed by Lawrence Venuti and by Douglas Robinson in his book Translation and the Problem of Sway<\/i>. Henryk Sienkiewicz’s novel Quo Vadis?<\/i> is one of the best-selling novels of all time. The most well-known translations are by Jeremiah Curtin and Wieslaw Kuniczak. The sway of these translations is vastly different. How? Why? Let’s compare. What would you do?<\/p>\n Presented by Svitlana Romanenko, Thursday, October 29, 4:15 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n Cryptocurrency user interfaces combine financial terminology, technical language, and regulatory messaging within space-constrained environments where precision is critical. Designed for translators and localization professionals working in finance or technology, this session examines linguistic challenges unique to cryptocurrency interface translation that demand careful linguistic judgment. Drawing on experience with major cryptocurrency exchanges, the speaker will analyze high-stakes elements such as action buttons, confirmation flows, and risk disclosures, focusing on terminology choices, verb forms, borrowing versus adaptation, and cross-product consistency. The session will also highlight the role of ongoing linguistic quality control in maintaining clarity and consistency across cryptocurrency products.<\/p>\n Presented by Megan Kregel, Saturday, October 31, 4:15 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n Linguistic validation plays a vital role in bridging language barriers, and skilled linguists are at the heart of this process. You use your knowledge and expertise to ensure that translated materials are not only accurate but also culturally relevant. Your ability to interpret subtle nuances, idiomatic expressions, and regional differences is essential for resonating with diverse audiences. In this session, we\u2019ll delve into how you can make a profound and positive impact on global health by safeguarding the accuracy, clarity, and effectiveness of translated materials. Your dedication enhances cross-cultural understanding, supports groundbreaking research, and ultimately helps people everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’re attending the 67th ATA Annual Conference (October 28-31, 2026, in San Francisco), make sure to check out these sessions in the Slavic Languages category!
