Translators and Interpreters are required to have a strong command of specialized terminology. In this 3-hour hands-on workshop, our dear and distinguished colleague Madeline Newman-Ríos will share her extensive and invaluable expertise as a technical translator and editor.

This presentation will provide a comparative analysis (English-Spanish) of key business terminology by:

• Providing a deeper understanding of how this terminology is defined and used in both English and Spanish.
• Having attendees translate excerpts from real business documents such as contracts, articles of incorporation, accounting texts, among others.
• Addressing the distinction between terminology, conceptual, and structural language
