Item AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROFESSION AND PROFILE OF THE TRANSLATORS AND INTERPRETERS IN THE DIPLOMATIC MILIEU(2022-01-18) SALMAN, THARWAT AKRAM; OKYAYÜZ, ŞirinTranslation/interpreting plays an important role in influencing communication especially in the field of diplomacy where people of different cultures, political views and diverse background who have no common language. In such situations, an interpreter or a translator is needed to bridge the gap and to relay the message to the recipient without altering any information whatsoever and preserving at the same time the diplomatic protocols and etiquette. The purpose of this thesis is to serve as an assistance element for translators/interpreters who work in the field of diplomacy and international relations and hold these titles as a career profession and also to highlight the key factors that the translator needs to take into consideration when carrying out translation tasks such as the cultural perspective, language used in diplomacy, diplomatic jargon and documents in addition to touching on the diplomatic staff and actors in the diplomatic milieu. The thesis investigates how the role of the translator and interpreter in the diplomatic setting is a major actor in this field. Without that actor communication would not be possible. In addition to all of that, the thesis exemplified the functions and the responsibilities that fall to a translator or interpreter in a diplomatic setting which will be wider than that of for example a translator in a translation office, or a freelance conference interpreter. This individual carries out all the responsibilities held by a translator and interpreter but will also have to take on further responsibilities because s/he is a member of the staff of a certain organization (i.e. an embassy, a consulate, a ministry). The thesis also includes a profile of the skill sets necessary for working in the field and suggestions for further study in this specific field.
