 SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY


DUTY STATEMENT


TRANSLATOR (FRENCH)


RESPONSIBLE TO:   Manager, Translation and Interpretation Section

LINE SUPERVISOR:  Reviser

The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is an independent
intergovernmental agency providing technical advice, assistance,
training and research in the service of the 22 Pacific Island countries
and territories of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. It currently has
a staff of more than 230. SPC is officially bilingual, with English and
French being the working languages.

The Translation and Interpretation Section provides linguistic services
to the Secretariat of the Pacific Community in order to allow it to meet
its mandate as a bilingual organisation. The Section??s main duties are
to provide interpretation and translation services for regional
conferences, meetings, seminars and workshops and to translate SPC??s
publications and other documents. The Section also manages a
terminological database and provides assistance and advice on all the
linguistic aspects of SPC activities. In regards to outside
organisations, the Section collaborates with the specialised branches of
the UN and EU agencies on terminology.


DUTIES


1.    CONFERENCE TRANSLATION SERVICES

a)    Meetings away from Headquarters

The translator participates on a rotating basis in a team that usually
composed of one translator, three interpreters and one secretary. The
translator provides translation at regional technical meetings attended
by the heads of technical services such as fisheries, agriculture,
forestry, health and the other areas of SPC activities. To do this, the
translator
must:

?h    assume full responsibility for the translation services provided
during
the conference;
?h    translate on a fully autonomous basis, i.e. without any revision,
the
conference report and other documents, such as recommendations and
resolutions;
?h    take part in drafting committees so as to take note of any changes
made
to the French version of the report or other documents, include these
changes in the final version and request translation of them into
English;
?h    keep in close contact with the conference organisers, rapporteurs,
participants and secretariat in order to ensure that work go smoothly.
In particular, this can involve:

?V    making sure the premises and equipment available are adequate;
?V    taking part in preparatory sessions in order to determine exactly
how
services will be provided;
?V    work closely with the rapporteurs, ask them for any clarifications
needed and point out any errors to them, where appropriate;
?V    in case of doubt, check with French-speaking participants to
ensure
that the tone and style of what they said has been correctly noted;
?V    together with the secretaries, make sure that the documents to be
translated are correctly sent out.

?h    work closely with the interpreters and ask participants about any
terminological issues.

In order to accomplish these tasks, the Manager of the Translation and
Interpretation Section delegates the translator with the required
authority to make any decisions necessary to ensure the mission goes
properly. The translator then provides the Manager with a mission
report.
 b)   Meetings at Headquarters

Working conditions are basically the same, with the following
modifications:

?h    the designated translator assumes primary working responsibility
for
the translation services provided during the conference;
?h    depending on the circumstances, the translator can, using good
judgement and in agreement with the Reviser and Manager:

?V    ask for the assistance of other translators if the workload is too
heavy;
?V    request that all or part of the documents be revised;
?V    request the Manager??s assistance in taking care of any problems.

c)    Committee of Representatives of Governments and Administrations
(CRGA)
meetings and Pacific Community Conferences

      As translation services are provided by a complete team during
these meetings, the translators carries our his/her duties under the
supervision of the Reviser and/or Manager. However, working conditions
are much more stressful as the number of speakers is much higher and the
translators must often work all day and then into the early morning
hours in order to complete translations in time for the drafting
committee or for adoption in plenary session.


2.    TRANSLATION SERVICES

a)    Tradexpress

On a rotating basis, the translator is responsible for all requests for
Tradexpress  services for the period of one week. In carrying out this
task, she/he must:

?h    show good judgement in identifying those documents which have been
incorrectly submitted to Tradexpress;
?h    in such instances, tactfully explain the situation to customers
and
request that they follow normal procedures for the documents in
question;
?h    advise the Manager on any problems related to this Service;
?h    after consultation with the Reviser/Section Manager, if necessary,
reorganise the daily workload to meet Tradexpress requests;
?h make arrangements to be replaced whenever she/he is absent.

b)    Regular work

The regular workload consists of extension publications; information
bulletins for special interest groups; technical reports and papers;
correspondence; announcements and circulars for official SPC contacts,
the representatives of governments and administrations and counterparts
in other regional or international organisations; information brochures
or posters for the general public, and texts for audio-visual
productions. The various work areas match those of the SPC, e.g.
fisheries and aquacultural activities such as the pearl oyster and fish
farming, agriculture, forestry, animal health and stock production, pest
control, health, demography, statistics, culture, rural development,
renewable energies, women??s and youth development and information and
communications technology.

In order to meet these duties, the translator must:

?h    conduct extensive research by all available means, including
direct
contact with the author of the text, in order to guarantee the technical
accuracy of the translation;
?h    produce terminological records so that the results of such
research is
included in the Section??s terminological database;
?h    in consultation with the Reviser and/or Manager, determine which
documents need to be revised and which can be revised by the translator
herself/himself;
?h    consult with the Reviser and provide all information, which would
facilitate and accelerate the revision process;
?h    work in close collaboration with colleagues to pool information
and
knowledge, contribute to the process of ensuring accurate and uniform
terminology and avoid duplication in work;
?h    meet the deadlines set.

3.    TERMINOLOGY

?h    The translator collaborates in the enrichment of the Section??s
terminological resources and the acquisition of reference documents by:

?V    producing data records of his research for the Section??s internal
terminological database;
?V    downloading reference documents found on the Internet into the
Section??s electronic storage areas;
?V    taking part, on request, in the Terminology Committee;
?V    recommending reference documents for purchase;
?V    proposing titles for new SPC projects and/or positions.

?h    The translator responds to requests for terminological information
from
SPC, other organisations or the general public.
