Inclusive Language in Translation with Alicja Tokarska and Aurélie Gobet

Welcome back to the Meet the Translator podcast! ✨

Join me for an episode on the highly-requested topic of inclusive language in translation along with Alicja Tokarska and Aurélie Gobet, two incredible translators who specialise in inclusive-language translation.

Find out what we mean by inclusive language, why it's so important, and what it looks like in English, Polish, and French. We discuss translation challenges and client communications, and my guests share some valuable advice on the topic.

If you want to contact Alicja, dm her on Instagram, connect with her on LinkedIn, or email her at alicja@polkadottranslations.com. To contact Aurélie, connect with them on LinkedIn.
