  • Can you distinguish language translation from language interpretation? In what may be the first ever tri-lingual TEDx talk, Laura Burian, Barry Olsen, and Miguel Garcia demonstrate the power of human cognition as they explain the subtle but important differences between professional translators and interpreters with assistance from Weihao Zhang (Chinese) and Beatriz Rodriguez (Spanish).
    Laura Burian is Associate Professor of simultaneous and consecutive interpretation of Chinese and English at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. She has worked as an in-house translator, interpreter, and legal assistant in the Beijing office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, and freelanced as both a translator and interpreter in the US, mainland China, and Taiwan.
    Barry Olsen is Assistant Professor of simultaneous and consecutive interpretation of Spanish and Russian at the Monterey Institute and has been working as a conference interpreter and translator since 1993. Over the years he has interpreted for the U.S. State Department, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Organization of American States, National Geographic Society, C-SPAN Television, and many other public and private sector clients.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Professor Burian is unreal. I've never heard a foreigner speak Chinese that well.

    Wonderful, I have to say that I am studying English-French Translation Interpreting Degree, and I have to admit that I have been inside the booths of my faculty in Las Palmas. And being in the booth interpreting a speech of more or less 15 minutes is very stressing, but now I am used to that long. I love Interpreting.

    Wonderful talk! I just wished this was captioned as well, relying on google captioning is not always the best. Those that are Deaf/Hard of Hearing would benefit from this being captioned. They are missing out on a great talk and a resource for what they are confronted with on a daily basis.

      I became an interpreter for public services (consecutive, not simultaneous) when I was 37, a decade ago! I am now learning simultaneous interpreting (which is a huge challenge) to pass an exam. If you have a dream that can be achieved, don't let your age stop you!!
