Beschreibung / Sessions and activities:
The webinar series (two 90’ sessions) will focus on the purposes of Simplified Technical English, illustrating the structure of the ASD-STE100 Specification and its advantages for translators and technical authors. After a brief introduction on the history and structure of STE, participants will be involved in some interactive exercises to re-write sentences according to the Specification. Participants will also be provided with a link to receive their free copy of the current Issue of the specification. ASD-STE100 (STE) is a controlled language which was developed in the early Eighties (as AECMA Simplified English) to help the users of English-language maintenance documentation understand what they read. It was initially applicable to commercial aviation. Subsequently, it became a requirement for Defence projects, including Land and Sea vehicles. Today, the success of STE is such that other industries use it beyond its intended purpose of maintenance documentation and outside the Aerospace and Defence domains. STE addresses difficulties in English comprehension related to complex sentence structures, confusing word forms, and ambiguous vocabulary. Although STE was created to improve maintenance documentation, its principles can dramatically improve the reading quality of technical documentation in any industry. The advantages in the translation process are directly related to the reduced chance of risk and ambiguity. Furthermore, the limited variations within the text structure will help to populate a strong Translation Memory as this collects repeated strings of text and leverages on the previous translation, reducing the amount of post-editing required. Beware! The word “Simplified” may somehow sound misleading. As the quote that is spuriously attributed to Nathaniel Hawthorne states: Easy reading is damn hard writing!
