Professor Schneider-Stocking has been working as a freelance translator and interpreter since 1990. Her fields of specialization include business, law, medicine, computer software and hardware, biotechnology, and localization. She has also interpreted for members of various German ministries, political organizations and the German Parliament. She is a member of the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC), the American Translators Association (ATA) and the Northern California Translators Association (NCTA), and is a seminar and conference interpreter for the United States Department of State.

Teaching at MIIS gives her a chance to pass her passion of language to others. In her translation courses, special attention is placed on the nitty-gritty aspects of translating by delving into linguistic details and collaborating as a team to discuss multiple solutions and find the best options. Students will learn practical skills they will need as professional translators to work with clients and other translators.

Courses Taught

Course Description

This course is the counterpart to Advanced Translation I. Students are expected to translate texts of considerable difficulty and complexity and to cope with the types of operational challenges that are likely to be encountered in professional translation settings, such as working in teams or coping with multiple technologies. Emphasis is on particular text categories and subject-matter knowledge that are pertinent to current market demand for the specific language combination and direction in which the course is being taught. The frequency, nature, and structure of course assignments are at the discretion of the instructor(s) of record, but will include projects that simulate, as closely as possible, the professional translation environment, as well as at least one midterm and one final exam.

Prerequisite: Advanced Translation I or similar background.
