Event report

Berlin, 3 November 2018

Including our speakers, a group of 30 translators gathered in the conference room of the Sorat Ambassador Hotel on 3 November for the German Society鈥檚 annual Translators鈥� Workshop. A major reason for the popularity of this regular event is that it is an opportunity to see what other translators in different fields are doing and pick up useful tips and insights for one鈥檚 own work.

The first speaker, Richard Delaney, barrister and translator, was slated to give a talk on 鈥渁 legal topic鈥�. This time he had chosen to speak, in his inimitable and lively style, on the topic of certification and certifying legal translations. In Germany, with its Federal style of government in which 16 states have (near)-autonomy over a variety of issues, one issue is that there is no agreement about what constitutes a 鈥渟worn鈥� translator or a 鈥渃ertified鈥� translator. Are they even the same thing? The individual听translator听is certified by a local German court, receives an official designation plus official stamp and can henceforth produce translations acceptable in his/her 鈥渂undesland鈥� or state. Whether courts in another state will agree to recognize the work is by no means assured, although the 鈥渟worn鈥� status is theoretically valid in all states. In the UK and other countries, however, only the听translation听itself is certified as complete and accurate.
