It is commonly agreed that post-editing guidelines are key for a successful outcome in machine translation post-editing tasks. In spite of this fact, the current lack of an international standard or recommendation on how to draft such a document is the reason why each company decides whether to draft them or not, and what type of information they should include, which risks creating confusion amongst the post-editors. As part of the MTPE Training Special Interest Group, a GALA initiative in which stakeholders from academia, clients, LSPs and post-editors collaborate towards drafting a common protocol on post-editing training, Viveta Gene and Luc\u00eda Guerrero, members of the steering committee and moderators of the monthly call, would like to invite all Asling attendees to a workshop on how to effectively design post-editing guidelines. By means of polls and surveys they will dig into the opinions and experience from the attendees, and based on their answers and on academic research, they will guide them towards drafting a common document which could be used as a template for writing post-editing guidelines. The resulting template will be public as well as a paper summarizing the whole process.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Pandemic has launched interpreters into an unprecedented amount of remote interpreting (RI). Whilst many interpreters were already carrying out some RI via video link and on the telephone, the Pandemic has precipitated a situation where most interpreting assignments are currently being carried out remotely from home.<\/p>

Interpreters have rapidly had to get themselves up to speed with numerous new RI platforms such as Kudo, Interprefy, Interactio and QuaQua. For some they not only had to learn them, but for some they had to obtain training certificates in order to be able to work on them! interpreters are increasingly having to invest in expensive equipment such as state of the art microphones and headphones as well as sound \u2013 proofing in order to kit out their home offices.<\/p>

It\u2019s not just a question of tech. Interpreters were also propelled into unchartered legal territory when it dawned on many of us that our existing terms and conditions of business were seriously inadequate for this brave new (tech) world. Suddenly we were negotiating issues relating to confidentiality when working in shared living spaces, liability for loss of internet connection and data, frozen screens and temporary or permanent loss of sound to mention just a few of the nightmarish scenarios that we are currently encountering.<\/p>

Post (or nearly post?) Pandemic all the signs are that RI is still the dominant client choice albeit more and more interpreting events are hybrid ones – a mix of on site and RI. What is clear is that RI is here to stay!<\/p>

Unfortunately, what is also clear is that RI rates are spiralling downwards as more and more clients are only willing to pay for time actually worked. The days of half and full day rates are being eroded. Many clients now appear to be reluctant to compensate interpreters for time spent on tech tests \u2013 some of which are held at very short notice and often involve endless delays due to (tech!) problems. The downward rates trend also seems to be due to a delusion shared by some clients that RI is somehow less tiring than on site work because \u201cyou don\u2019t have to travel, you can work from the comfort of your own home\u201d. It seems that clients are oblivious or perhaps are ignoring so \u2013 called Zoom fatigue and are not au fait with the increasing concerns of many interpreters as regards acoustic shock.<\/p>

Interpreters working remotely may also be suffering fatigue due to the possibility of carrying out several (short) RI assignments per day. There is no need to set aside so many non \u2013 working days as pre – Pandemic for travel to one sole job. Another worrying trend that is emerging is less time to prepare for any one job if several jobs are competing for attention in the same day. Without a doubt quality will suffer.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
