Editing and translation:<\/strong> Use the Language Service to edit and translate any lecture material \u2013 for example, your slides for lectures, SUNLearn content, lecture notes or instructions to students. We could also help with information design: presenting the information in your documents to the best possible effect for your students, which could include improving layout and readability. We translate into 15 languages, including isiXhosa. Interpreting:<\/strong> While we do not interpret in \u2018real time\u2019 for online classes, our Interpreting Service has an experienced team of professional interpreters who will make sure that those requiring our services will have access to their lecture content online through audio translation of lecture podcasts<\/strong>. All lecturers of modules that would have been interpreted during the second term qualify for this service. Audio translations of recorded lectures can be made in either Afrikaans or English, depending on the language of learning and teaching, and sometimes in isiXhosa. For more information, click here<\/a>. We can also do subtitling for lecturers<\/strong>: Video clips can be processed in order to add subtitles and\/or translated text to make them multilingual.
