Military translation in Astana
October 14th, 2022Being a translator in Astana I quite often provide military translation services – for trainings, general discussions and strategic planning.
Last week I had a chance to interpreter a course on Psychology in Leadership run by the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK.
Military translation is always a challenge but it is also extremely interesting. Special terminology plays a huge role as well as background knowledge – it’s important to be up to date with military conflicts, both past and present. Knowledge of ranks, military branches and units is a must.
Working with military is also very different to working with civilians so an interpreter should be familiar with such military concepts as hierarchy, discipline, punctuality.
It was a great honor for me to receive a certificate of attendance of the course; I am grateful for all the knowledge and skills I have acquired during the training.
