Book excerpt: Being a Successful Interpreter: Adding Value and Delivering Excellence is a practice-oriented guide on the future of interpreting and the ways in which interpreters can adjust their business and professional practices for the changing market.

At its core is the view that interpreters must move from the traditional impartial and distant approach to become committed to adding value for their clients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite using them every day, most software engineers know little about how programming languages are designed and implemented. For many, their only experience with that corner of computer science was a terrifying "compilers" class that they suffered through in undergrad and tried to blot from their memory as soon as they had scribbled their last NFA to DFA conversion on the final exam. That fearsome reputation belies a field that is rich with useful techniques and not so difficult as some of its practitioners might have you believe. A better understanding of how programming languages are built will make you a stronger software engineer and teach you concepts and data structures you'll use the rest of your coding days. You might even have fun. This book teaches you everything you need to know to implement a full-featured, efficient scripting language. You'll learn both high-level concepts around parsing and semantics and gritty details like bytecode representation and garbage collection. Your brain will light up with new ideas, and your hands will get dirty and calloused. Starting from main(), you will build a language that features rich syntax, dynamic typing, garbage collection, lexical scope, first-class functions, closures, classes, and inheritance. All packed into a few thousand lines of clean, fast code that you thoroughly understand because you wrote each one yourself.

Here is why you should read this book: *easy guide to read *presented through various characters that tell you their stories and experiences *a hands-on book *while navigating through courts provides you with concepts, definitions and vocabulary used *many real vignettes with words employed so the student reinforces concepts, definitions and vocabulary learned *tips from experienced interpreters and attorneys, so the beginning interpreter avoids mistakes and improves their interpreting skills *terminology used in court through bibliography that allows for further reading and studying *many vignettes for practicing for preliminary and individual hearings. This manual shows the new interpreter how the main actors think, plan, strategize, prepare for their cases and conduct their job in courts so the beginning interpreter can learn and practice their skills. And finally, the beginning interpreter will delve into an extensive practice mock trial with full direct and cross examinations by fictitious respondent's attorney and ICE attorney with a wide variety of themes and vocabulary to practice and hone their skills, all unique for books in the subject of interpreting that exist in the market nowadays.

Book excerpt: Conference Interpreting: A Student’s Practice Book brings together a comprehensive compilation of tried and tested practical exercises which hone the sub-skills that make up successful conference interpreting Unique in its exclusively practical focus, Conference Interpreting: A Student’s Practice Book, serves as a reference for students and teachers seeking to solve specific interpreting-related difficulties. By breaking down the necessary skills and linking these to the most relevant and effective exercises students can target their areas of weakness and work more efficiently towards greater interpreting competence. Split into four parts, this Practice Book includes a detailed introduction offering general principles for effective practice drawn from the author’s own extensive experience as an interpreter and interpreter-trainer. The second ‘language’ section covers language enhancement at this very high level, an area that standard language courses and textbooks are unable to deal with. The last two sections cover the key sub-skills needed to effectively handle the two components of conference interpreting; simultaneous and consecutive interpreting. Conference Interpreting: A Student’s Practice Book is non language-specific and as such is an essential resource for all interpreting students regardless of their language combination.
