[…] In a recent blog post Massimo Ghislandi, Executive VP of Translation Productivity for SDL Language Solutions, announced the release of Trados Studio 2017. Below are some highlights of the announcement: “SDL Trados Studio 2017 is here! I am extremely pleased to be writing this blog announcing the launch of the latest version of the industry's most popular translation software. In the last few weeks I've had the opportunity to show the beta version of SDL Trados Studio 2017 to many people at events around the world, and the feedback has been incredibly positive. Like our customers, the people attending these events were very diverse. From the ATA which is predominantly a freelance translator conference to our very own LSP Partner event which is unsurprisingly attended by… Language Service Providers and finally Tekom, which I see as pretty much an event for large corporations. Attending these events was a great reminder of how many different people rely on our software and how different their requirements are. The innovation we are bringing with Studio 2017 is designed to make the difference. It will make the difference for all these people, no matter what role they play within the industry, for increasing translation productivity.” Read the full post here Source: SDL blogSubscribe to the translation news daily digest here.

The NPO will cooperate with municipalities and schools without sufficient resources to teach Japanese to such children. More. See: The Japan TimesSubscribe to the translation news daily digest here.

[…] Riley Vance is perched on a wooden horse in his Whitehorse-area daycare when he starts singing about tidying up in Southern Tutchone, an aboriginal language with fewer than 50 fluent speakers left. The three-year-old's ditty is the fruit of an effort in Yukon's Kwanlin Dun First Nation to teach dozens of children words and phrases in the endangered language daily at a local head-start program. They now have the first ever children's book in the language. “We're at a critical stage with our language with only a few fluent speakers left, so it's been exciting to have them singing nursery rhymes,” said Erin Pauls, who runs the Dusk'a Head Start program.

[…] Almost half of the roughly 6,900 languages spoken around the world today are endangered. Scarily, the rate of extinction is accelerating and there is a whole lot at stake. Communities around the world are losing their indigenous tongue at an unprecedented rate. The grimmest predictions suggest up to 90% of the world's languages will have disappeared by the end of this century. A language becomes extinct when its last native speaker dies, and it's usually the result of its speakers shifting to a lingua franca like English, Arabic or Spanish. This implies choice, but it's often a history of marginalisation that leads to the change. More. See: NITVSubscribe to the translation news daily digest here. See more translation news. […]

[…] In a remote part of Sweden surrounded by mountains, valleys and thick forests, the community of Älvdalen is desperately attempting to preserve its unique heritage. Up until the mid-20th century, the town of some 1,800 inhabitants spoke a language called Elfdalian, believed to be the closest descendant of Old Norse, the language of the Vikings. The beautiful and complex tongue, likened to the fictional languages of “The Lord of the Rings” or “Game of Thrones,” remained preserved throughout the centuries because of the area's natural isolation. “Älvdalen lies extremely deep within the Swedish forests and mountains,” Michael Lerche Nielsen, an assistant professor at the Department of Nordic Research at the University of Copenhagen, told ScienceNordic . “You can get there by boat up the river, Dalälven – a journey of more than 100 kilometers – and getting there and back used to be quite an expedition. So people in the area weren't particularly mobile and were able to preserve this very special culture, considered in Sweden to be extremely traditional and old fashioned.” More.

[…] […] Canton City, like some other Stark school districts, has had an increase of students with limited English proficiency, according to enrollment data from the Ohio Department of Education. Between the 2011-12 and 2015-16 school years, Canton's student population with limited English skills rose from 0.8 percent to 1.8 percent. There were 156 English-learning students enrolled in Canton City Schools this past school year. Mejia-Compton is the only interpreter and translates written material that the district sends home. She said using the radio system to interpret makes it easier on her, students and families. “We can assist up to 50 different families at a time, instead of doing two at a time,” she said. It's the first translation system of its kind in Stark County, according to the Stark County Educational Service Center. Dana Weber, an English language learner consultant for the ESC, said in an email that bilingual staff typically interpret for families in Stark school districts. They use staff or outside agencies to translate written material. More. See: The IndependentSubscribe to the translation news daily digest here. See more translation news. […]

[…] There are only about 30 fluent speakers of the Tsuut'ina language left, but the band is hoping to revitalize the language and pass it on to the next generation. It's doing that by holding regular classes and pairing up young people with Elders who speak the language, and with 70 per cent of the population under the age of 30, passing on the language is critical in passing on the band's traditions. “Language is connected to identity, so if you don't know your language, you don't have much of an identity, and that is something we have tried to do with our program is instill that pride and identity in the young people and all Tsuut'ina people,” said Steven Crowchild, language teacher.

[…] In the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, where Yup'ik is the primary spoken language, the Alaska Court System has a new Yup'ik interpreter, who happens to be the first official interpreter for the language in the country. Crystal Garrison, who recently passed the National Center for State Courts' written exam for Court Interpreter, has become the first Yupik speaker to do so. And she didn't just barely pass – she got a score of 93. More. See: KYUKSubscribe to the translation news daily digest here. See more translation news. […]
