This paper investigates the behaviour of ten professional translators when performing translation tasks with and without translation suggestions, and with and without translation metadata. The measured performances are then compared with the translators’ perceptions of their performances. The variables that are taken into consideration are time, edits and errors. Keystroke logging and screen re...

This paper presents the experiment that was led at the University Paris 7 to teach machine translation to translation students. Linking machine translation with translation-training in order to help students acquire the linguistic and technical skills increasingly required on the translation market has become part of a number of translation syllabuses in the last few years. Although, MT knowled...

since any kind of training aims at educating professionals, this research tries to merge theoretical and practical bases of translation training and remove any obstacles in different educational programs existing in the fields of translation studies. translation training is not confined to language teaching, although mastering both source and target languages will make the translators more succ...

The integration of machine translation (MT) and translation-memory (TM) systems in professional translation settings has turned pre-translation + post-editing into an attractive alternative in terms of productivity for all parties involved in the translation process. In some cases, source files are pre-translated using a combination of customised MT and TM before reaching the translators, who t...

Translation agencies are introducing statistical machine translation (SMT) into the work flow of human translators. Typically, SMT produces a first-draft translation, which is then post-edited by a person. SMT has met much resistance from translators, partly because of professional conservatism, but partly because the SMT community has often neglected some practical aspects of translation. Our ...
