She\u00a0specializes in the high-stakes world of technical manuals and scientific texts. But how do you ensure absolute precision when the language itself is complex? Eva takes us behind the scenes of professional translation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this conversation, we decode the fascinating jargon of the trade, from \u201cCAT tools\u201d and &#8220;fuzzy matches&#8221; to the rise of MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing). We also explore the art of localization and the challenges of translating for global audiences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you are a fellow linguist, a student, or simply curious about the precision required in technical communication, this is a must-listen episode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">To carry on the conversation, you can contact Eva at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Eva.gunnarsson@outlook.ie\">Eva.gunnarsson@outlook.ie<\/a>\u00a0or via LinkedIn:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/eva-gunnarsson-46367b2\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/eva-gunnarsson-46367b2\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1780577808646000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0czakK9VdBjE5ZmaL3qElZ\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/eva-gunnarsson-46367b2\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this 16th episode of\u00a0Joy and Jargon, I have the pleasure of speaking with Eva Gunnarsson, a freelance Technical Translator and Language Quality Assurance Specialist with an incredible 27-year career in the industry.
