Prof Lynne Bowker joins us to talk about the important working being done in the Machine Translation Literacy Project. Translators are not the only users of MT - in fact, we're probably not even the main users. So what do non-translator users of MT understand about the technology? How do they use it? And why does this matter to us as translators?

Part 2 of 2 of our conversation with Daniela Ford about technology in the translation industry. This time, we're focusing on MT and how technology has changed the way we work, particularly how we research our translations.
Please note that this conversation was recorded before ChatGPT exploded into public awareness, and that's the only reason it's not mentioned. We will very likely come back to ChatGPT and similar AI tools in a later episode.

Part 1 of 2 of our conversation with Daniela Ford about technology in the translation industry. This first part we mainly talk about CAT tools - what they are, how they work and what benefits they can bring. Part 2 to follow next week.
Please note that this conversation was recorded before ChatGPT exploded into public awareness, and that's the only reason it's not mentioned. We will in all likelihood come back to ChatGPT and similar AI tools in a later episode.

Continuing with the question of specialisation, our guest this episode is Sarah Silva, also known as The Chemical Translator. How did she combine her love of chemistry and language? And just how niche should you go? Do you risk putting limitations on yourself by specialising too narrowly? (Spoiler alert: no.)
