On October 14, 2021, Sigazy Aiza, a translator of the SGBrick company held a seminar for the students of 5B20700- "Translation Studies" specialty on the topic: "Translator in the Construction Industry". Aiza is a graduate of the Nazarbayev University, 521400 – Linguistics specialty. Working languages: English, Spanish, Russian.

Aiza shared her experience in the field of technical translation, talked about the importance of competent translation, and gave specific advice as a professional translator.

“The skill of technical translation includes a fairly impressive list of competencies:

-excellent sense of the native language;

-deep knowledge of a foreign language (grammar, vocabulary, idioms);

-the ability to use translation techniques;

-possession of background technical knowledge (which is acquired in the process of studying at a university or through self-education).  

However, skill alone is not enough to become a professional technical translator. A technical translator must also have a special character,” said Aiza. 

 

At the end of the meeting, the students asked the questions they were interested in, to which they received competent answers. Sigazy Aiza's professionalism and love for her profession made a good impression on the students.
