.".. collection of selected articles from the joint International Maastricht-odz Duo Colloquia on Translation and Meaning ..."--Introduction.
Selected papers from this second conference on Translator and Interpreter Training. With contributions from five continents, the articles deal with global challenges, taking into account the role of the translator in societies knit together by one tongue and those in which languages are the repostitories of national cultures, such as India. The main merit of this volume is that it shows how translator training is tackled in the main translator training courses around the world, what requirements are made on the students and what solutions are given. The various approaches provide a wealth of translator training ideas.Complementing the first volume of papers from the "Language International" conference, this second volume deals with a wide variety of aspects in this interdisciplinary field of study: dubbing, subtitling, simultaneous/consecutive interpreting, court interpreter training, linguistic features, cognitive aspects, cultural aspects, terminology and specialisation, computeraided translation in practice, translation procedures at the European Commission, etc.
This text covers the field of translation applied to information, human relations and literature. It is illustrated with examples and quotations. The content of the book covers the following subject areas: translation topics such as examining, assessing, capitalization, emphasis, idiolect, grecolatinisms across languages, the small print, eponyms and howlers; translation theory: differences between good and bad translation, good and bad writing, literary and non-literary texts and translations, cultural and universal factors; translation as a matter of public interest in the European Union and national parliamnents, as well as in museums and art galleries; and critical discussion of recently published books and conference proceedings.
Cet ouvrage sonde deux grands types de transfert interlinguistique: la traduction professionnelle, enseignée dans les écoles et instituts de formation de traducteurs, et la traduction didactique, pratiquée en enseignement des langues. Les auteurs des textes réunis ici, tous des pédagogues d'expérience, tentent de répondre à quelques-unes des questions fondamentales du domaine: En quoi l'enseignement de la traduction professionnelle se distingue-t-il des exercices de traduction didactique ? Comment enseigner à bien comprendre les textes avant de les traduire ? Comment convient-il d'évaluer les traductions ? La puissance d'Internet peut-elle être mise au service de l'enseignement de la traduction ? Quel métalangage utilise-t-on dans les cours de traduction ? Pourquoi est-il important d'inculquer aux étudiants des habitudes dénominatives ? L'introspection à haute voix (think-aloud protocols) peut-elle contribuer à améliorer la pédagogie de la traduction ? Autant de questions qui trouvent dans ce collectif des éléments de réponse propres à faire progresser la pédagogie de la traduction à stimuler la recherche. Publié en français

Experience in translation does not always correlate with the quality of the target text. Also, the evaluations of translation work vary considerably among evaluators. Why not shifting the focus of attention from the final translation to the underlying translation process when assessing translation competence? Iryna Kloster applies a multi-method approach to model the translation competence based on empirical parameters, such as gaze behavior, dictionary use, revisions as well as subjective evaluations of comprehension and translation difficulty. Eye tracking, keystroke logging, screen recording and retrospective interviews were applied to collect data in the experimental groups consisting of novice and semi-professional translators. As a consequence, the author suggests using language contrasts for researching translation competence. She draws conclusions based on hypotheses testing, provides justification by triangulating quantitative and qualitative data and discusses the results in the light of empirical translation studies as well.
This volume focuses on the relationship between translation theory, translation research and translation practice. Applying many of the concepts and methods of cognitive science to translation the contributors provide an improvement in quality.
