Association of Translators and Interpreters
(Udruženje prevodilaca u Bosni i Hercegovini)
National association with a fairly exhaustive directory of professionals. It is divided into three sections dedicated to technical and scientific translators, conference interpreters and literary translators.
Professional Translators for Bosnian
Association of Professional Translators for the Bosnian language. Translators are professional linguists who perform written translations, as opposed to oral or spoken translation, which is done by interpreters. In this type of associations we usually find translators specializing in many fields: technical, legal, medical, pharmaceutical and scientific. We might also find sworn/official translators who have been authorized by a Bosnian agency or department.
Bosnian translators are mostly freelancers working from home for their own clients or for translation agencies. They sometimes team up with other Bosnian and other language translators and proofreaders to expand their range of services. The work of a Bosnian translator consists of thoroughly understanding the text to be translated, getting to know the subject matter, carrying out terminology research and knowing the computer tools to help with translation, which will enable him/her to offer a cost-effective and quality work.
This particular Bosnian association is made up of translators of various specializations and language combinations. There is probably another association in Bosnia and Herzegovina focusing on sworn translators, technical translators, audiovisual translators or court translators. If there is any, you will find the link below.
Professional Interpreters for Bosnian
The interpreters of this association are focused on spoken translation between Bosnian and other languages. There are several methods of interpretation: simultaneous, conference, liaison or whispered. “Association of Translators and Interpreters” provides a directory of Bosnian interpreters who are available to offer their services in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The head office is in Sarajevo, but the interpreters work all over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Interpreters often work for international organisations such as the European Parliament, the UN or NATO. Bosnian interpreters are also needed in hospitals, at trade fairs or at international summits where political leaders meet.
Simultaneous Bosnian interpretation is needed at conferences, on television or at any event where participants need to understand a speaker in real time and without interruptions. The special thing about this is that technical equipment such as booths, microphones and headphones are required.
In consecutive interpreting, Bosnian interpreters interrupt the speaker and translate the speech one chunk at a time. They can be seen, for example, at informal press conferences, which are often improvised and do not have the necessary equipment.
And finally there is the so-called whispered interpretation between Bosnian and other languages, where the interpreter acts as an intermediary in a conversation between two people and translates in a low voice.
