» Gender-sensitive writing in Hindi
By Balasubramaniam L. | Published 05/16/2006 | Art of Translation and Interpreting | Recommendation:
In modern times, the equality of man and woman in all spheres of life is a precept that is unanimously accepted. However, this is a very recent development, a couple of centuries old, according to my estimate. In earlier times, there was a clear male dominance in most things human, which is reflected in the male preference in many of the human developed systems, the most important of which is language. The most arduous and unrewarding battles that feminists have had to fight has been to make language gender-sensitive, that is, to weed out the subtle male biases in usages, words, concepts and at deeper levels of the language. This article intends to examine the situation of gender-bias in Hindi.

» Kasus Tuduhan Salah-Terjemah Buku Menkes vs Undang-undang Penerjemahan
By Hipyan Nopri | Published 05/13/2008 | Marketing Your Language Services | Recommendation:
Kasus yang pertama kali terjadi di Indonesia di mana seorang menteri secara terbuka menuduh seorang penerjemah telah melakukan kesalahan penerjemahan bukunya mendorong saya untuk memajang tulisan berikut ini. Bertitik tolak dari kasus yang sangat menghebohkan kalangan penerjemah Indonesia dan juga para pejabat pemerintahan serta wartawan luar negeri ini, saya mencoba mengemukakan beberapa gagasan mengenai perlunya Undang-Undang Penerjemahan sebagai langkah untuk melindungi profesi penerjemah, menjamin mutu terjemahan, dan memberikan jasa penerjemahan yang memuaskan klien. Silakan baca tulisan berikut ini untuk mendapatkan uraian lebih lengkap mengenai kasus tuduhan tersebut dan gagasan saya.
