An in-depth analysis of several text worlds i.e. commercial and legal, and the challenges they represent for the translator. The seminar examines the specialized aspects of a given text and the approaches translators have at their disposal to assist them in solving the particular problems these represent. Specialists in the different fields will be invited to give their expert opinions and discuss the various aspects of their specialty. The class will be divided into groups with the same or related areas of specialization. Oral presentations will expose students to background knowledge about other fields, thus providing as wide as possible a range of competence.

Students will perfect their proofreading techniques and editorial practices. The texts will be of a specialized nature so as to expose students to the more complicated aspects. Accuracy will be stressed. During workshop activities students will be encouraged to work in pairs and use TAPs whenever possible.
