Alan White, Branch Manager at the Manchester office of The Translation People was delighted to present awards to two University of Salford students.

The Translation People sponsor two awards at Salford -“Achievement in Translation” to the best undergraduate student and “Excellence in Translation” to the best postgraduate student.

Winner of the Excellence in Translation award was Habib Bewley, who impressed his tutors on the MA in Translation course with his translations from Arabic to English.

Malcolm Morrison, a mature student and former music teacher, was awarded the Achievement in Translation prize for outstanding translation work from French and Spanish to English undertaken during his degree course. He commented,

“I was relieved to find out that there were several other mature students whose support and encouragement were crucial to my successfully completing the course. During the course I spent 6 months in Bourges, France working for a translation agency and 6 months in Castellon, Spain working as an English assistant at a research establishment.”
