It’s been alarmingly quiet on this forum for quite a while now. Perhaps our profession is really doomed by MT and AI. A sign of our times, perhaps, but this weekend a client sent me a shortie that was part TM and part MT, and wanted me to complete a form rating the quality of their MT as well. Now if your translating program shows you segments from both sources, it can get impossible, difficult or just a plain bore to pick out and assess the MT segments. That’s what happens if the agent wants to cut cost by requesting MT editing at half the rate for human translation. Personally, I use both DeepL and Google where possible (MT is simply another translating tool, like dictionaries and TMs, and the usual caution is needed). But I digress. To return to the state of Denmark: The source document contained three errors, two of which I corrected in translation. I informed the client accordingly, and then it occurred to me that tampering with originals used to be considered a capital crime – Trados didn’t allow correcting source segments for that very reason (you can now). So I added the following note to the translation I returned: “With my more than 39 years of translating, I am quite aware that some clients almost get a heart attack if their texts are criticized. So I’m not suggesting that you inform the client of the points I raised and then find yourself with an apoplectic patient on your conscience. But consider the following: 1 [Agent] is serious about delivering translations of the best quality. 2 A translation that perpetuates errors cannot be called a good translation, and therefore SL should obviously not return such a translation. 3 The client then disseminates the (defective) translation, which attracts criticism. 4 It will NEVER occur to a client that a translation that gets criticized is simply the result of the “garbage in, garbage out” rule. 5 So he will direct his anger to the translation provider 6 who will pass his ire on to the translator – THAT’S ME – 7 and will never give me another job 8 and probably caution his fellow golfers on the links next Saturday never to contact me.” There’s a lovely saying among some South American Indians that goes like this: Don’t curse the crocodile’s mother-in-law before you’ve crossed the river. In our technically more advanced world, we would adopt an engineering perspective and say: Don’t burn your bridges before you’ve crossed them. At my age I don’t want to cross any more bridges and would give my pyromanic urges free rein at the mere sight of any bridge. In other words, If I see an error, I’ll deal with it and inform the client. But if any of you are faced with this Denmark issue, you’re welcome to embark on my train of thought and see where it takes you.

Goeiem?re Ek het ’n hele paar jaar gelede ’n dokument oor die verskil tussen doelmatig / doeltreffend / effektief van iemand gekry. Weet iemand dalk wie die outeur van die oorspronklike dokument is? Groete Elsabé Birkenmayer 082-372-1939

Hallo almal Ek is dringend op soek na 'n redigeerder wat 'n boek in Duits kan redigeer. Kontak my asseblief. Baie dankie. Leoni Benghiat Baie groete. Leoni Benghiat SA Vryskutskrywer E-pos leoni@... Tel 074-296-3390 | Whatsapp 074-296-3390 Web www.savryskutskrywer.co.za

I found the following about this issue: https://www.theceomagazine.com/opinion/trust-and-confidence/ Trust versus confidence issues In the context of the work I do, I think about trust as being relationship based – it exists between two or more people and represents a set of beliefs about the others, especially around their motivations. Confidence is a belief about an individual’s capabilities, experience, positional authority or training. By separating the two, we can create different conversations. Imagine, for example, that you are waiting on a colleague to allocate resources to support one of your initiatives. Your colleague has been delaying, and it is impacting your ability to move forward. You have a choice in this situation about how you might accurately describe your feelings: ? “I don’t trust my colleague to help me out by allocating the resources.” ? “I don’t have confidence in my colleague’s understanding of the situation.” Those are two very different ways of articulating what you believe to be the problem. If you don’t trust your colleague’s motivations, you have a relationship issue that requires investment of time and energy from both of you to connect, build a common bond and appreciate each other. If you don’t have confidence in your colleague’s expertise, you have an issue of clarity and connection to the situation that can be addressed with information, data and support. Die verskil tussen die twee stellings is klaarblyklik: jy trust (vertrou) ’n mens en jy het confidence (vertroue) in iemand se vermo? (om iets te kan doen). Die bron hier onder (dankie, Jaco) bevestig dit (“is called confidence, is concerned with abilities”). Eerder as om ’n leksikale ekwivalent te soek (ek ken nie ’n geskikte Afrikaanse woord hiervoor nie) sou ek dit vertaal as: “Ek glo nie my kollega gaan my van die nodige hulpbronne voorsien nie”; en “Ek glo nie my kollega verstaan die situasie nie.” Dis immers wat die skrywer bedoel. Waar die CEO-bron die twee onderskei op grond van die aard van “trust”, focus die bron hier onder op die oorsprong daarvan. Dit noem “confidence” ook as ’n soort “trust”, wat die saak verder kompliseer. https://understandingsocialtrust.wordpress.com/the-distinction-between-trust-and-confidence-1/ The consensus view within social science research is that there are two main types of trust, one that is based on the relations between the trusting person and the other (relational trust), and one that is based on past behavior of the other and/or constraints on future behavior (calculative trust). The former, which we call trust , is concerned with intentions; the latter, called confidence, is concerned with abilities. In general, trust is more important and given more weight than confidence. Among the other characteristics that distinguish trust from confidence are these: Trust: Function is to reduce complexity through social risk taking; no external criterion of accuracy; greater use of heuristic processes, such as value similarity and affect; regulatory focus is promotive. Confidence: Function is to control future behavior through knowledge of the past or constraints on the future; lesser use of heuristic processes, such as familiarity; regulatory focus is preventive. Deur “funksies” aan albei toe te skryf beteken seker dat trust en confidence sekere effekte het eerder as dat (wat my eerste indruk was) dit bestuurstegnieke is. Dis mos belaglik om enige vorm van vertroue te beskou as ’n bewustelike, koelbloedige keuse te maak om vertroue te hê. Laastens, hier het mens weereens te doen met die beginsel dat mens idees vertaal, nie woorde nie. In Afrikaans kan jy iets meemaak, belewe, ondervind en ervaar; in Engels is al drie “experience”. En as jy met elkeen van die vier iets anders bedoel, moet jy daardie bedoeling maar op ’n ander manier weergee.

Dagsê ZALangers ’n Advokaatvriend vra die volgende: Ek brand weer vas met woorde. Sou graag ’n sinvolle Afrikaanse vertaling vir die uitdrukking “trust and confidence” wou vind. Beide blyk “vertroue” te wees. Daar word verduidelik dat “trust” meer met geloof in iets of iemand te doen het, terwyl “confidence” gebaseer is op feite of ervarings. Dus lei “trust” dikwels tot “confidence”. Enige voorstelle, asseblieftog?

Goeie dag almal Kan julle my miskien help met 'n beter vertaling vir die woord "coexistence" in Afrikaans? Spesifiek in die konteks van harmonie/saambestaan/naasbestaan/samehorigheid? tussen die mens en wilde diere. Nie een van hierdie woorde dra vir my heeltemal die betekenis van die Engels nie. Dit is in 'n boekie wat gemik is om boere raad te gee vir konflik met wilde diere, so verkieslik nie te ho? akademiese taal nie. Groete Chavoux

Dankie Marita Jy is goed vir my. Groete Lynette
