III N. 3 2012 Introduction e need more visibility for Translation Studies in Portugal!”, or so at least was the cry as we thought we heard it. And “Wwho could fail to respond? The discipline of Translation Studies might appear to be under threat in some particular circumstances. Basically this concerns traditional academic divisions that want literature in one place, linguistics in another, and each language in its own compartment. If the pigeonholes are like that, then we might appear to be threatened. And one might respond to a feigned plea. At the same time, however, those are merely administrative divisions. They are found in traditional universities (and, by the way, in the European Reference Index for the Humanities, somehow controlled by a traditional academic). Those distinctions have nothing to do with the actual production of knowledge, with the stimulation of debate, or with the capacity to attract students and funding, and they have much less to do with the pursuit of employment or the exercise of an ethical social function. By virtually whatever yardstick you choose to use, European Translation Studies has amply demonstrated its capacity to energize a significant part of the humanities, along with maintaining healthy numbers for the students, the funding, the publications and the other contributions we make to the dynamic functioning of our multilingual European societies (and well beyond). There is no longer any real need to apologize for a Cinderella status, or to lodge noble complaints about marginalization, minoritization or discrimination. We are not really under any significant threat. We have responded nevertheless. We have gone in search of Translation Studies in and around things Portuguese. And here is what we have found. 14 REVISTA ANGLO SAXONICA Translation Studies is actually in quite good health in Portugal. That much should be clear from the range and breadth of the Portuguese articles herein, many of them reviewing whole swathes of Portuguese research. Then again, the work that has been done does not necessarily constitute anything like a specifically Portuguese Translation Studies, and it would be wrong to take this volume as a sketch for such an entity. As should be clear from most of the articles, the research done in Portugal is in almost all cases very consciously part of an international discipline, within which some regional concerns may be more or less prominent. For that very reason, we have not sought to restrict this volume to Portugal or to things Portuguese: the collection contains a number of articles from other parts of the world, mostly in areas where work could still be done in Portugal (hence Reynaldo José Pagura on the history of interpreters in Brazil, Ignacio García on research on translation technologies, or Cecilia Alvstad on translation anthologies). This is not a sample of Portuguese Translation Studies; it is more like a few slices from a Translation Studies cake, where Portugal is a particularly juicy layer. In seeking and selecting the papers for this volume, we have also attempted to cover a wide range of modes of translation and types of research methodologies. We are trying to show the space of a discipline in which many cross-overs, cross-sections and cross-references are constantly possible. In that sense, we are riding roughshod across any number of the “turns” periodically announced for Translation Studies: cultural, performative, creative, social, sociological, technological, professional, and so on. Each number in the Dewey decimal system could potentially be proclaimed as a turn for Translation Studies. Here we are more inclined to announce a “no-turn” turn, a view of Translation Studies as an inclusive humanistic discipline, able to address a wide range of social and intellectual problems, and able to do so with a shared collection of methodological tools and dispositions for intellectual exchange. To read these articles as a growing whole, and to see them as representatives of a wider growing whole, is to see Translation Studies as a discipline that has no need to keep turning, no need to be apologetic, and no particular need to fear threats from the past.

III N. 3 2012 Trusting Translation 1. Introduction Let me start out by asking an odd question: what makes translation possible? I am not hinting at the process of translating in the sense referred to by I. A. Richards as “the most complex type of event yet produced in the evolution of the cosmos” (Holmes 73). Rather, my question takes translation to be, first and foremost, a social fact, involving production, transmission and consumption under specific circumstances and by specific agents. It could thus be more precisely and extensively rephrased as follows: trans lation is part of our daily lives; we are unable to imagine the world as we know it properly functioning in the absence of translations, yet the exact nature of the relationship between source text and target text appears to be opaque, even mysterious. Concepts such as “transfer” and “equivalence” have often been used in order to describe it; however, we remain pretty much in the dark as to the mechanics of what they really describe, that is, of what their referential content really is. According to the neat definition put forward by Lawrence Venuti, [t]ranslation is a process by which the chain of signifiers that constitutes the source-language text is replaced by a chain of signifiers in the target language which the translator provides on the strength of an interpretation. (17) It sounds accurate enough, but in fact nothing is said about what empiri - cally happens in the process of replacement other than naming its agent, the translator-as-interpreter, thus leaving Venuti with little more than a post-structuralist version of Friedrich Schleiermacher’s “irrationality of languages” (see Robinson 40). While the notion of interpretation may turn out to be of some use for the discussion I am about to set in motion, my initial question still 20 REVISTA ANGLO SAXONICA holds: what makes translation possible? Both the question itself and the issues underlying it have been tackled by scholars in the field of Translation Studies and I shall cite some of them as I go along; the answer I shall be attempting to come up with in this paper, though, is premised on the belief that we will not be able to fully account for the social possibility of translation as long as we focus on it as primarily a textual-linguistic phenomenon. Although this is a position readily taken and a principle acknowledged with little dissent by most scholars today, the fact is that many theories of translation are still grounded in textuality, that is, in language transfer from source to target text. Maybe this is unavoidable, given the nature of the empirical object of translation theory; it has, however, consequences. On the one hand, the metalanguage of translation is bound to replicate the dual make-up of its object by engaging in the construction of binary structures of thought; on the other, it sheds little light on what makes translation socially possible.

    The Study on Indirect Translation in Chinese Translation History from A

    2017 3rd International Conference on Social Science and Management (ICSSM 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-445-5 The Study on Indirect Translation in Chinese Translation History From a Cultural Perspective Yue SUN Department of Arts and Science, Chengdu College of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, Sichuan, China [email protected] Keywords: Indirect Translation, Culture, Direct Translation. Abstract. In comparison with direct translation, indirect translation has its own reasons and values of coming into being and existence. Though indirect translation is not as popular as it used to be in the past, it has played an important role in Chinese history of translation and would not disappear absolutely in the stage of translation with its unique characteristics. This paper tends to study indirect translation from a cultural perspective. Introduction of Indirect Translation Indirect Translation is a term used to denote the procedure whereby a text is not translated directly from an original ST, but via an intermediate translation in another language [1]. Indirect translation can also be called intermediate translation, mediated translation, retranslation or second-hand translation interchangeably. According to Toury, such a procedure is of course NORM-governed, and different literary systems will tolerate it to varying extents [2,3]. Indirect translation refers to translation from another language version rather than the original book. Some people may name indirect language as medium language translation. For example, Aesop’s Fables was first translated into Chinese from its English version in 1840, which had a profound effect and spread wide in our country; in the year 1955 Zhou Zuoren translated Aesop’s Fables from Greek.

    Is Machine Translation Post-Editing Worth the Effort? a Survey of Research Into Post-Editing and Effort Maarit Koponen, University of Helsinki

    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 25 – January 2016 Is machine translation post-editing worth the effort? A survey of research into post-editing and effort Maarit Koponen, University of Helsinki ABSTRACT Advances in the field of machine translation have recently generated new interest in the use of this technology in various scenarios. This development raises questions over the roles of humans and machines as machine translation appears to be moving from the peripheries of the translation field closer to the centre. The situation which influences the work of professional translators most involves post-editing machine translation, i.e. the use of machine translations as raw versions to be edited by translators. Such practice is increasingly commonplace for many language pairs and domains and is likely to form an even larger part of the work of translators in the future. While recent studies indicate that post-editing high-quality machine translations can indeed increase productivity in terms of translation speed, editing poor machine translations can be an unproductive task. The question of effort involved in post-editing therefore remains a central issue. The objective of this article is to present an overview of the use of post-editing of machine translation as an increasingly central practice in the translation field. Based on a literature review, the article presents a view of current knowledge concerning post-editing productivity and effort. Findings related to specific source text features, as well as machine translation errors that appear to be connected with increased post-editing effort, are also discussed. KEYWORDS Machine translation, MT quality, MT post-editing, post-editing effort, productivity.

    The online computer-assisted translation classroom The International Journal for Translation & Interpreting Viktorija Bilić Research trans-int.org University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA [email protected] DOI : 10.12807/ti.112201.2020.a08 Abstract: In the modern translation industry, all actors involved in the translation process communicate and collaborate increasingly – and oftentimes entirely – online using modern computer-assisted translation and project management software solutions. New translation technology needs new approaches to translator education and the Online Computer-Assisted Translation Classroom was designed to address this gap. Students are taught how to use the latest translation technology through hands-on remote software use and collaborative translation exercises. This article looks at the pedagogy of online translation teaching. It specifically discusses the teaching of translation technology and terminology management, drawing on process-oriented approaches to translator training and the method of cooperative translation. Keywords: online teaching; translator training; translator competence; computer- assisted translation; terminology management 1. Introduction Today, many translators, especially in the U.S., work remotely as freelancers (McKay, 2006), communicating with agencies and clients entirely online. Virtual networking and creating a strong and professional online presence are essential in the translation industry, especially for freelance translators (McCallum & Puchner, 2017).

    1. Introdução: O Ofício Da Maldição

    1. INTRODUÇÃO: O OFÍCIO DA MALDIÇÃO Esta possui a intenção de tratar acerca de duas coisas que não pretendemos investigar em outras partes do nosso trabalho: biografia e crítica. O caráter talvez estranho desta disposição inicial que se baseia numa exclusão e não no lugar comum introdutório que é justamente uma inclusão, uma apresentação, dissipa-se no momento em que consideramos o papel tanto da abordagem biográfica como do estado da crítica na justa apreciação da obra de Bruno Tolentino (Rio de Janeiro, 12 de novembro de 1940 — São Paulo, 27 de junho de 2007). Em verdade, iniciar nossa apreciação pela exclusão nada mais é do que iniciar por onde normalmente se iniciou, por onde as primeiras empreitadas críticas iniciaram. As primeiras apreciações da sua obra se basearam ou na mitificação de sua biografia ou na crítica superficial, mal informada, ou mal intencionada, cujas notáveis exceções, por motivos que ainda explicaremos, não lograram êxito em desfazer a primeira imagem cristalizada por esses meios. Aparentemente, iniciar nossa análise apresentando o lado polêmico da história nada mais seria do que oferecer a imagem corrente e recorrente do poète maudit 1. No entanto, essa faceta da apreciação crítica nos servirá como introdução ao que devemos evitar, e não como direção de pesquisa para nosso trabalho, justamente por se tratar de um modo de apreciação que, como mostraremos a seguir, além de viciado, torna-se viciante quando alimentado. Enfim, nossa exclusão se baseia e se justifica pela propensão fundamentadora de nosso trabalho de evitar trocar a obra pelo homem, 1 Posição que por uma espécie de contaminação mágica, supersticiosa, pareceu – e talvez ainda pareça – ter o poder de transportar a maldição do poeta para o crítico, uma vez que Luís Dolhniokoff nos diz: “Conheci Bruno Tolentino por uma circunstância incomum.

    Translating the post-editor: an investigation of post-editing changes and correlations with professional experience across two Romance languages Giselle de Almeida Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies Dublin City University January 2013 Supervisors: Dr Sharon O’Brien and Phil Ritchie I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of Doctor of Philosophy is entirely my own work, that I have exercised reasonable care to ensure that the work is original, and does not to the best of my knowledge breach any law of copyright, and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. Signed: ______________________ ID No.: ______________________ Date: ______________________ ii Abstract With the growing use of machine translation, more and more companies are also using post-editing services to make the machine-translated output correct, precise and fully understandable. Post-editing, which is distinct from translation and revision, is still a new activity for many translators. The lack of training, clear and consistent guidelines and international standards may cause difficulties in the transition from translation to post- editing. Aiming to gain a better understanding of these difficulties, this study investigates the impact of translation experience on post-editing performance, as well as differences and similarities in post-editing behaviours and trends between two languages of the same family (French and Brazilian Portuguese). The research data were gathered by means of individual sessions in which participants remotely connected to a computer and post-edited machine-translated segments from the IT domain, while all their edits and onscreen activities were recorded via screen-recording and keylogging programs.

    Talking to the World International Conference for the Interpreting Profession and Interpreter Education 10-11 September 2015 The Relevance of Translation and Interpreting – Past, Present and Future Abstracts from Keynote Speeches Keynote speech 1 I see what you're saying: Visual information in simultaneous conference interpreting Kilian G. Seeber ICTs have the potential to shape and perhaps even revolutionize the way in which we communicate. Relatively recent technologies such as Skype (released in 2003), Facebook (released in 2004), and Twitter (released in 2006) are a case in point: inconceivable only a decade ago, they have turned into household names and conditioned the way in which we interact both socially and professionally. The same applies to the hardware supporting them, such as smart phones and tablet computers. It stands to reason that these technologies, that condition our communicative behaviour from an early age, will have a repercussion on the way in which new generations of interpreters react to an increasingly technologically enhanced workplace, including teleconference interpreting (TCI) and remote interpreting (RI). Already today professional interpreters are routinely confronted with a wide range of input channels as content at conferences is delivered using multimedia devices such as slide presentations, animated videos and video prompters. What is more, they use their own devices, such as laptop and tablet computers, in real time. Consequently, modern simultaneous interpreting can be viewed as a multi-modal information-processing task requiring the allocation of finite cognitive resources to different sub-tasks that interfere with each other to varying degrees. The effect of such multi-modal communicative environments on a cognitively demanding task such as simultaneous interpreting is still largely unknown.

(artigo 5º, DLR nº 033/2002) ANÍBAL DUARTE RAPOSO Nasceu na freguesia de Relva, na ilha de São Miguel, a 5 de dezembro de 1954. Estudou no Liceu Nacional de Ponta Delgada, fez parte do Orfeão deste estabelecimento de ensino e ingressou, com outros jovens estudantes, no Coro da Igreja do Carmo, para quem compôs diversos temas religiosos que se distinguiram pela inovação em relação à música habitualmente cantada nessa época nos templos da ilha. Licenciou-se em Engenharia Mecânica na cidade do Porto, tendo à época feito parte da direção do TUP -Teatro Universitário do Porto e composto vários temas musicais para as peças levadas à cena por este grupo teatral. Fundou com outros colegas o Coro do TUP que percorreu todo o país dando espetáculos de música popular, tradicional e de intervenção. De regresso aos Açores, em 1978, fundou diversos grupos musicais com projeção local tais como os grupos “Construção”, “Rimanço” e “Albatroz”. Faz parte de uma geração de cantautores que nos últimos vinte e cinco anos tem renovado a música açoriana com temas e poesia originais os quais, bebendo fundo nas raízes do cancioneiro das ilhas, sofrem influências dos grandes compositores da música popular portuguesa, da MPB e da música clássica.
