Description

Compare AA meeting translation interpretation needs across documents, meetings, service materials, and member communications. The presentation explains the difference between translation, interpretation, transcription, and captions while weighing machine translation, human review, professional translators, glossaries, translation memory, and translation-management systems. It emphasizes accuracy, consistency, turnaround time, cost, anonymity, and the responsibility to carry the message beyond English-speaking members.
