As the leading language service provider in Australia, we are at the forefront of identifying innovative ways to improve the industry and redefine what’s possible in language services.
Submissions for our Innovation Program were so strong that we increased the funding pool from $50k to $150k, to be shared across four projects for two years.
Our Innovation program winners were;
1. Monash University – developing a contextualised, immersive and interactive Virtual Reality training program so that interpreters will be better prepared to deal with complex and unexpected situations in very challenging Family Violence settings.
2. RMIT – researching the benefits of simultaneous interpreting in courts and tribunals. Our second project with RMIT is researching the benefits of a courts mentoring program for interpreters working with new and emerging languages.
3. The University of Queensland – researching the quality of telephone interpreting interactions and developing best practice guidelines for interpreters using this service. These guidelines will be an Australian-first, improving the quality of telephone interpreting services right across Australia.
LanguageLoop proudly partners with RMIT and Monash University for projects that will enhance the language services sector.
UPDATE: 14 June 2024 – In celebration of Pride Month, we are thrilled to announce that our team is utilising a portion of our 2023-24 Innovation Fund Grant to provide an additional language translation for the invaluable resource https://www.rainbowterminology.org created and hosted by the translating and interpreting team at RMIT University. We will translate terms into Persian for the website, further expanding its reach and impact. You can find out more here:
