Abstract: | After a century of prohibition, the use of Swiss French Sign Language (LSF-CH) has been steadily increasing since the 1980s. More recently, thanks to new accessibility laws favoring sign language translation, the Deaf community in French-speaking Switzerland has begun developing strategies to manage, negotiate, and coin vocabulary and specialized terminology. This study analyzes the strategies and processes a team of Deaf and hearing translators used to translate medical terms for BabelDr, a translation application created by the University of Geneva’s Faculty of Translation and Interpretation (FTI) and the University Hospital of Geneva (HUG). Three Deaf and two hearing people collaborated to intersemiotically translate a series of sentences from written standard French into filmed LSF-SR to help medical professionals triage non-French-speaking patients visiting HUG's Emergency department. Using the Communicative Theory of Terminology as a theoretical framework, this descriptive analysis focuses on the terminology units, strategies and techniques adopted by the translation team. |
