Bellevue Community College, Washington State -
Translation & Interpretation |
|
Program Description |
|
In partnership with experienced working professionals, Bellevue College offers up-to-date training for aspiring and practicing translators and interpreters. Courses can be taken individually, or as part of our Translation & Interpretation Certificate Program.
Non-language-specific core courses (taught in English) provide comprehensive and practical interpreter and translator training for speakers of any language. The curriculum includes research skills, business practices, ethics, terminology management, and technology. Language-specific courses are offered in select languages, and emphasize hands-on practice and skill-building in translation and editing, and/or the three interpreting modes (consecutive, simultaneous, and sight).
Translation and Interpretation Certificate ProgramAs one of the few translation and interpretation credit programs in the country, Bellevue College offers balanced, comprehensive, and rigorous professional training. Most classes are offered in the evening and meet once a week for 10 weeks. Students can expect to complete the certificate program in translation or interpreting in 1½ to 2 years. Each certificate requires completion of five core and three language-specific courses for a total of 24 credits (240 hours of instruction). Because both certificates share most of the core courses, they may be pursued simultaneously with only four additional courses required, for a grand total of 36 credits (360 hours of instruction).
Certificates are language-specific and are offered in select languages according to student demand. Upon earning a Translation and/or Interpretation Certificate, students have a solid foundation for taking professional certification tests, such as the state court interpreter certification exam.
Bellevue College also offers various non-credit workshops on topics of interest, such as computer-assisted translation tools and preparation for the state court interpreter certification exam.

Program Description |
|
Language students in Georgetown College are educated to embrace the complexities of our world. The Faculty of Languages and Linguistics (FLL) embodies Georgetown's long tradition of fostering international understanding and the serious study of foreign languages and cultures.
Seven modern foreign language departments, the Department of Linguistics, the Department of Classics, and the program in Comparative Literature constitute the FLL:
Arabic and Islamic Studies Division of Eastern Mediterranean Languages: Greek, Hebrew, Persian and Turkish Comparative Literature East Asian Languages and Cultures: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean French German Italian Linguistics Slavic Languages: Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian Spanish and Portuguese
The Linguistics Department at Georgetown is committed to analyzing a diversity of linguistic phenomena through different modes of inquiry. Our view of language as a cultural, social, and psychological phenomenon leads us to examine the dialectic between what is universal and what is particular and unique across languages. We do so through analyses of the structure of language, the acquisition of language, the use of language in context, and computational models of language. Our course curriculum, departmental areas of research, and individual research interests allow us to incorporate a wide range of modes of inquiry, including those drawn from the Humanities, Social Sciences, Logic and Mathematics, and Natural Sciences. We value the legitimacy and relevance of research at every level of analysis, and acknowledge that no one model of language can provide all the answers (or even address all the pertinent questions).

The University of Georgetown offers an ideal
possibility for students willing to become
translators, which is combining a Language degree
with another one in linguistics. Thus the student
will acquire excellent knowledge of the language he
chooses as well as in the structure of languages.
Although the University doesn't offer courses
specifically related to translation, this
possibility will provide the student with invaluable
education for his future translator career. |

University of Washington - Department of Asian
Languages & Literature |
|
Program Description |
|
The Department of Asian Languages and Literature of the University of Washington offers instruction in the principal languages and literatures of Asia, including East, Southeast, Central, and South Asia. Emphasis is placed on the roles of these languages within the cultures they serve as well as on linguistic, textual, and literary analysis. The department offers undergraduate degrees in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and South Asian languages and literature, and graduate degree programs in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, South Asian, and Buddhist Studies. The programs offer work in the textual, linguistic and literary study as well as in the history and criticism of the respective literary traditions. The student will work out an individual course of study with an adviser. Although a student normally emphasizes either linguistics or literature, both are important components for all students. Courses offered in other programs within the department, and in other departments, such as Comparative Literature, Anthropology, Linguistics, or one of the other language and literature departments, may constitute valuable additions to the program where they support and enrich a special emphasis.

The Department of Asian Languages and Literature offers an undergraduate major and minor in Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages and literatures, and graduate programs for the M.A. and Ph.D. There are no specific courses on translation, but as the knowledge of language and literature are a must in translation, these are good courses for those willing to become translators.

Editor notes |

There used to be a Translation and Interpretation Institute at the Washington Academy of Languages, but it is not working anymore. In spite of not offering specific translation courses, translators have to start learning a language at some point, and it is still a good place for this purpose.
