Translation practices, strategies, norms and ethics in the field of news, and more applied analyses of narratives in specific contexts (e.g. the press, television, advertising, cinema, and the internet) will also be examined. As media/news translation is a broadly uncharted territory, at least, in the GCC region, the forum will consider the importance of translation in the circulation of news and narratives in this strategically vital region.ETS invites participants to discuss the interrelationship between media in the widest sense and translation by addressing the following questions: • What is the role played by translation in local and international news reporting?• What happens when translators transfer information across linguistic, cultural and ideological boundaries?• What impact do shifts in translations from English to Arabic and vice versa have on receivers and their perception of information?• How do explicit/implicit translation choices result in different interpretations of one event by diverse readers? We expect submissions for 20-minute presentations that consider any of the above issues.Abstracts (roughly 400 words) and proposals for workshops should be sent to Dr Hisham Jawad at hajawad@squ.edu.om by 6 March 2014. Languages: Arabic and English Invited Keynote SpeakersDr. Prof. Christina Schaeffner, Aston University, UKDr. Prof. Myriam Salama-Carr, University of Salford, UKDr. Christopher Rundle, University of Bologna, Italy

The final conference of the project will focus on training, assessment, certification and accreditation of legal translators in criminal procedures in the EU. The project aims at providing an EU-wide platform for the exchange of best practices and experiences in the following areas, related to the specific working conditions of legal translation in criminal proceedings: Generic analysis of the essential document types as listed in Directive 2010/64/EU (Article 3) with a view to defining indicators, templates, and terminology to achieve quality in legal translation of these documents; Generic analysis of the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) with a view to defining indicators and terminology to achieve quality in legal translation of these documents; Development of curricula and training materials for legal translators; Development of one or more core curricula for language training of legal practitioners; Development of testing, evaluation and assessment procedures and materials for legal translators; Development of EU-wide recommendations and best practices for testing, evaluation & assessment procedures and materials. Therefore, we would like to receive abstracts for presentation at the conference. Accepted presenters will be eligible for funds allocated by the project as follows: the amount as is budgetted for travel within the EU will be allocated to both presenters from the EU and from beyond the EU. This entails that presenters from beyond the EU will have to sollicit funding for the difference between the EU amount and the overseas costs. Important dates Submission of abstract: 15 February 2014 Notification of acceptance: 15 March 2014. It will be specified whether the abstract will be accepted for presentation at the conference and/or for the publication in the journal. Submission of the full paper: 31 August 2014.

As Translation Studies establishes itself as an independent discipline, there have also been apparent efforts among translation scholars towards enhanced objectivity in translation research. The past two decades have thus witnessed a growing interest in applying data-based empirical methods, e.g. the psycholinguistic and cognitive approach to translation processes and the corpus-based approach to the study of translated language and translators’ styles. Whilst these new approaches have made it possible to study translation in ways previously unavailable and have yielded interesting and significant findings, they are also met with doubts and even challenges. As we plough ahead with new empirical studies, it is also high time we critically reflect and review the methods as they are applied in studying the complexity of translation. This conference aims at bringing together academics and researchers for a productive and rewarding exchange of insights, experiences and perspectives on current and future developments in data-based empirical research in translation studies. The themes include, but not limited to, the following: Critical reviews on the data-based empirical research methods in translation studies Empirical research on translation competence, strategies and processes Empirical research on interpretation competence, strategies and processes Empirical research on translation teaching (e.g. curricular issues, market needs, teaching methods, evaluation of training programmes, corpus-assisted translation teaching, etc.) Corpus-based translation studies (e.g. features of translated language, translators’ styles.) Data-based empirical studies on any other aspects of translation and interpretation not included in the above You are cordially invited to send a one page abstract (approximately 500 words) in electronic format (preferably a Word attachment) to the conference organizing committee at the email address provided below by Dec. 31, 2013. All proposals will be blindly reviewed and notification of acceptance will be sent by Feb. 28, 2014. Language of the Conference English will be the official language of the conference.
