Translation in Commercial Affairs (CHINESE-ENGLISH)

Catalog description

This course concerns the practice of Chinese to English translation within the broad scope of commercial affairs as they pertain to fundamental industry sectors such as real estate, tourism and hospitality, banking, retail manufacturing, catering, etc. Students will practice translation on behalf of a range of corporate clients and public oversight bodies such as the consumer protection bureau, the stock exchange commission, the housing or transportation authorities, health and hygiene departments, and other agencies. While translating trade-specific and highly contextualized matters (catering to particular consumer demographics), students will be trained in functional, dynamic approaches in translation.
