The Technical Translator’s Dictionary (in Italian):
This is a work in progress. It is a collection of difficult words that appear often in technical documents. However, these words do not have an instant translation, are usually translated incorrectly or upon further examination give insight into linguistic/translation issues.
For any feedback or request for further information on this topic please write me, in English or Italian, at robertocrivello@gmail.com
Training modules on technical translation into Italian:
I am the author of two training modules on technical translation into Italian, written for ICoN (Italian Culture on the Net) Group. In partnership with three Italian universities, ICoN offers a Master in Translation modeled after the European Master’s in Translation. Among university professors specialized in translation and world-class professional translators, IcoN decided that I was the person most suited to write about the various aspects of technical translation into Italian.
