Welcome back to the Meet the Translator podcast! For this episode on environmental translation, I’m joined by Kate Stansfield and Rachel Waddington. We discuss what environmental translation is, the motivations behind doing it, and challenges that come with it, and tips and resources for anyone who wants to specialise in the field. We also talk about how you can make your translation business more environmentally conscious, and the value of sharing what you’re doing online.
Here are some of the learning resources that Kate and Rachel mention in the episode (as well as some extra ones):
For volunteering, Kate and Rachel suggest Translators Without Borders and getting involved with your local sustainability group. For a positive and inspiring podcast, Kate recommends Jane Goodall’s Hopecast.
