Fondé en 1998, cet organisme privé à but non lucratif travaille inlassablement à la recherche de remèdes et de solutions diagnostiques pour contrer le cancer, et s’est ainsi taillé une place de chef de file de la recherche innovatrice. Composé d’une équipe dévouée de plus de 50 spécialistes et membres du corps étudiant du monde entier, l’IARC fait de grands progrès dans la recherche de solutions grâce à des recherches révolutionnaires dans le domaine de la biopsie liquide et des thérapies ciblées. En outre, l’IARC attache une importance particulière à la collaboration avec d’autres établissements. En comparant leurs découvertes et les résultats en temps réel de patients et patientes souffrant du cancer, ils mettent en contraste leurs pratiques d’excellence dans l’optique de futurs traitements contre le cancer.

I am happy to share that I am now the 2nd vice-president of the Corporation of Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters of New Brunswick (CTINB), so that I can help new translators navigate the world of translation and become experts in their field. When I first started out as a translator, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a translators’ association. As I learned more and more about the field of translation and the importance of professional development, I became a member of three different translators’ associations, with each of them providing benefits in their own ways. I am a firm believer in the power of professional associations and I am looking forward to delving deeper into my field!

Did you know that collaborating with a translator can help make you a better writer? For starters, poorly written source texts are sometimes the most difficult to translate. First you must figure out exactly what the writer is saying, which usually requires sending the client a question for clarification. Then, you must do some acrobatics to make your translation acceptable in English, and ideally better than the original. The good news is that a good translator can identify bad writing and point out phrases or sentences that could be improved. This has even happened to me, personally, when I’ve had something I’ve written translated from English into French by a colleague. I sometimes see that the French is clearer than the English, which makes me go back and adjust what I originally wrote to reflect the French. They say that a good translation is indistinguishable from the original. A professional translator makes it so. 

Sur LinkedIn, tandis qu’on parle souvent de nos réussites professionnelles, je voulais partager avec vous l’idéal que je poursuis jour après jour dans mon travail, car avoir des idéaux, c’est fondamental pour réussir. Les idéaux fournissent une direction claire et un but dans la vie. Ils nous aident à savoir ce qu’on veut accomplir et nous motivent à travailler vers ces objectifs. Cela pourrait semble évident, mais le rôle principal du traducteur est de convertir un texte d'une langue à une autre tout en conservant le sens, le ton, et l'intention d'origine. L’idéal d’atteindre la perfection dans mon art sert de source d’inspiration et de motivation sur une base quotidienne, surtout dans les moments difficiles. Avoir un idéal à atteindre peut donner la force de persévérer face aux obstacles. Quels sont les vôtres?
