- Authors
Rooney, Peter
- Abstract
This article presents a reprint of a speech given by indexer Peter Rooney to the Chinese Society of Indexers' conference in October 2005 in Shanghai, China. He presents insights on professional indexing practice pertaining to the translation of English language indexes to a foreign language. He indexed a book entitled "Guide for Immigrants in New York City" written in English, Spanish, and Chinese in a single volume. Procedures include preparing an English-language index to the book's English-language section, submission of the index to a professional translation company in the form of a Microsoft Word document, and conversion of the Word document to a database.
