Overview
The Postgraduate Certificate in Translation from University of Auckland has two specialisations.
The Community Translation specialisation will prepare you to work for communities as an intercultural communicator in public service settings. In situations that range from health to disaster management scenarios, you will learn the theories, techniques and professional ethics required to translate public service information. This may involve ad hoc interpreting.
If you wish to translate professionally in increasingly technical environments, including those that provide digital content, the specialisation in Multimedia Translation is for you. You will use computer-aided translation tools to boost your productivity. You will also gain experience with audiovisual translation tools that enable content accessibility for different end-users, including those with hearing or vision impairments.
Career
This short qualification will give you the specialised skills to work with diverse communities as an intercultural communicator, or to develop your career as a multimedia translator.
