“Keep learning!” says CIOL Council member Mark Robinson in this latest #CIOLVoices blog on the importance of CPD for linguists and why it matters.

“Continuing Professional Development (CPD) ensures that linguists maintain and enhance their languages, skills, knowledge and expertise throughout their careers, fostering both professional growth and industry credibility”.

Excellent article.

Today we launch the first in a series of articles from The Linguist magazine translated into Chinese, with thanks to Professor Binhua Wang and his master’s students in translation at the University of Leeds.
We start with an article by interpreter Dr Jonathan Downie on remote interpreting:

Enjoy this excellent article #translation #linguists @CIOL_Linguists

“Translation is an art – a delicate weaving of two worlds with threads that are at once fragile and unbreakable. It requires a translator to wrestle with the ‘untranslatable’, to balance fidelity with artistry, precision with poetry. This tension lies at the heart of my current project: bringing Bijtë e Tokës së Djegur (Sons of the Scorched Earth) by Shemsi Mehmeti – my grandfather – into the English language.”
Read R B Castrioti’s fascinating story about how she found and translated her grandfather’s manuscript - this and more in the latest issue of The Linguist:

The mentoring scheme helped so many linguists, that can benefit from the advice of very experienced colleagues.

As part of our drive to increase our CIOL mentoring community, we spoke with one of our most active mentors: CIOL member and Chartered Linguist Yolanda Vercher who shared her experience of supporting fellow language professionals through our mentoring platform.
Read Yolanda's insights on mentoring and why she finds it so rewarding in our latest CIOL Voices blog:

Online Event

“Introduction to medical translation and interpreting”

@CIOLScotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧, 26 October.
Info: https://t.co/fgXjs4pOsp

[Chartered Institute of Linguists @CIOL_Linguists]

“The CIOL mentoring platform is an effective way of bringing junior and senior translators into contact. I found it personally very rewarding to be able to help and advise my mentees, some of whom I am still in contact with professionally - one has since progressed in the field and was willing to share her experience with my most recent mentee. A fine example for the potential of synergy that this programme offers.”
Thank you to CIOL member Matthias Müller for this comment on his experience using our mentoring platform, our scheme for helping CIOL members help each other to grow professionally and personally. Find out more here:
