Empowering Communities through Translation: The Case of the Newcomer's Guide to Edmonton
Cisneros, Odile. - 2017
Abstract: SSHRC Awarded PEG 2018: This project is a partnership between researchers at the University of Alberta and the City of Edmonton's Community Inclusion and Investment Branches of Citizen Services, to investigate community translation practices. Our object of study is the Newcomer's Guide to Edmonton (NGE), a handbook created by the City of Edmonton to assist recent immigrants. Our research addresses challenges faced by several constituencies: a) municipal government personnel who commissioned a translation of official city documents but may not have a full understanding of the cultural and linguistic complexities involved in translation; b) community translators who provide materials for linguistically diverse communities yet often lack appropriate tools or formal training; c) newcomers to the city who, due to limited English, often struggle with access to information. The research partnership has a three-fold goal: 1) to document, analyze, and enhance existing translation policies implemented by the City of Edmonton; 2) to empower the public sector and community translators to develop policies and shared best practices for community translation; 3) to redefine the intercultural and social role of community translation.
