There is a great need among entrepreneurs for information about the new European Accessibility Act. I received requests to translate the 'Allesomvattende Gids EAA' into English, also because many English speakers in Dutch companies are concerned with the European Accessibility Act. Below is the result. Your feedback is very welcome! Please let me know when you see any improvement in the translation. ♻️Feel free to share or repost. 🍀If you have any questions, please send me a Direct Message (in English, Dutch or German). Between October 2023 and June 2024, I shared 40 posts about Digital Accessibility and the EAA.  Featuring tips, facts, tools, misconceptions, best practices, and more on Digital Accessibility. 👉The full transcript of this extra edition is available on my website. Just like all 40 editions (in Dutch) of the content format DigiDingDong. #EuropeanAccessibilityAct #EAA #EAA2025

When the Unitary Patent came into being last year, some translators were worried about the short time frames for requesting unitary effect for European patents (Rule 6 – Requirements of the request for unitary effect (https://lnkd.in/eKiB6pMC)). You have only one month to request that a European patent take effect as a Unitary Patent, and you have to file a translation of the entire patent at the same time. This is a much tighter timescale than we have been used to for EP translations. The one-month deadline can’t be extended. However, if you request unitary effect but fail to file some of the supporting documentation (such as the translation), the EPO will invite you to remedy this within a month (Rule 7 – Examination of the request by the European Patent Office (https://lnkd.in/eH7W6Nxf)) – or in other words, you can expect to be granted an additional one-month period for filing the translation. Now that the dust has had time to settle on launch of the UP, I wonder what people’s experience has been: are deadlines getting shorter? (Deadlines have indeed been getting shorter for years, but has there been a sudden shift just recently?) Are more patents being translated in their entirety, rather than just the claims? Has anyone wishing to request unitary effect missed a deadline because they couldn’t find a patent translator? I’d love to hear about your experience in the comments. ---------- I’m Cate Avery, and I’ve been translating patents from German (and Italian) into English since the 1980s.

⏱ There's still time to sign up for Sea Change Together emails and receive the joining details for this evening's session! 📣 It's been so exciting to talk about our monthly climate action group to lots of new faces over the past few weeks – first in Edinburgh at the Institute of Translation and Interpreting conference, and then last Wednesday during the Lunch & Learn talk I delivered for AJT (thanks again to both for these amazing opportunites to spread the word and encourage more freelance linguists to take action for people and planet... together!) ➕ I've already seen an increase in subscribers and it would be amazing to welcome even more ahead of our next session, so head to the sign-up form via the link below if you'd like to receive updates about this project, as well as all the work going on behind the scenes to develop 'Linguists for Positive Change'. ❔ What's 'Linguists for Positive Change'? Well, I've been nervous about sharing the website for this initiative, as it's currently just an initial landing page to share the idea behind it and what we hope to achieve. Essentially, our mission is to "build, support and motivate a community of linguists to take positive action to reduce environmental impact and become a regenerative force for the language services sector". 👀 By the end of this month, I aim to have shared much more about our exciting plans, so look out for more news on that very soon. 🐋 For now, if you'd like to make sure you receive the latest on Sea Change Together and the development of a toolkit and charter specifically designed for language professionals, head here: https://lnkd.in/eD3h-ASD #LITranslators #ITICommunity #SustainableBusiness #ClimateAction #Collaboration #PositiveChange #LanguageServices
