    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). It is recommended that both

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.

  • Using Neural Networks to Predict Emoji Usage from Twitter Data

    Using Neural Networks to Predict Emoji Usage from Twitter Data

    Using Neural Networks to Predict Emoji Usage from Twitter Data Luda Zhao Connie Zeng Stanford University Stanford University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract As emojis have emerged as an increasingly important and standardized part of modern textual inputs, analyzing their usage patterns are becoming of great inter- est to any modern text system. We frame this investigation as a text classification problem, mapping input text to their most likely accompanying emoji, utilizing 1.5 million scraped Twitter tweets for our training set. Both our LSTM-RNN model and our CNN model outperform our baseline, although the CNN model surprisingly achieves much better accuracy and F1 results. We conclude the paper by proposing future works in this area. 1 Introduction With the rise of mobile devices and chat apps, emojis have become an increasingly important part of written language. The ‘Face with Tears of Joy’( ) emoji was even selected as the Oxford Dic- tionaries Word of the Year in 2015[1]. To keep up with the evolution of language, we should be able to model emoji usage based on trends seen on Twitter, Reddit, and other online Social Networks. In addition, the standardization of emojis in the Unicode Standard has ushered in more standardized usage patterns in the different social networks, which makes modeling usage patterns a significantly more tractable problem. As one of the largest social network platforms, Twitter has had a long history with emojis, and currently, around 19.6% of all generic tweets on Twitter contains emoji[2]. The high frequency of emoji usage and the diversity of topics makes Twitter an ideal data source for building a model for emoji usage.

    Understanding and Undermining Fake News from the Classroom Adam Rosenzweig1 Beyond 12

    Available online at http://escholarship.org/uc/ucbgse_bre Understanding and Undermining Fake News From the Classroom Adam Rosenzweig1 Beyond 12 Fake News and the Post-Truth Era It’s too soon to know what will define Donald Trump’s presidency, but one of the defining characteristics of his campaign was a near-total disregard for facts. According to PolitiFact (“Donald Trump’s file,” n.d.), about 70% of Trump’s statements have been either mostly false, completely false, or outright lies. Candidate Trump wasn’t the only one dealing in dishonesty, but the ubiquity of falsehood surrounding his election contributed to the Oxford Dictionaries naming post-truth its 2016 Word of the Year. Fake news (Drobnic Holan, 2016) might be the most pernicious form of post-truth. PolitiFact called fake news its Lie of the Year, pointing out that fake news is “the boldest sign of a post-truth society” (para. 12) and that it “found a willing enabler in Trump” (para. 8). Americans should perceive this phenomenon as an existential threat to democracy. What truths remain self-evident if truth itself becomes counterfeit? A post- truth society has no moral center, no basis for conversation, no shared future. If the Trump era is to be the era of post-truth, then schools will have a particularly critical role to play in teaching students to favor reason and evidence over sentiment and preconception. More simply, we need to get better at teaching what Carl Sagan (1995) called “the fine art of baloney detection” (p. 201). Educators must also help students explore and deliberate on political issues.

    Domestication and Foreignisation in Dubbing and Subtitling of Duncan Jones‟ English Movie Warcraft Into Persian [PP: 162-170] Dr

    Domestication and Foreignisation in Dubbing and Subtitling of Duncan Jones‟ English Movie Warcraft into Persian [PP: 162-170] Dr. Razieh Eslamieh Nillofar Javankhah Islamic Azad University, Parand Branch Iran ABSTRACT The present paper studies diverse procedures related to Venuti‟s strategies of domestication and foreignisation in Farsi dubbing and subtitling of the English movie, Warcraft directed by Duncan Jones. The procedures of both domestication and foreignisation were studied and statically analysed for the purpose of exploring the film translation method (dubbing or subtitling) which is closer to target- language-culture and the one which is closer to source-language-culture. In other words it was intended to explore which translation strategy (domestication or foreignisation) dominates dubbing and which one dominates subtitling. The tertiary purpose was to compare the reasons of differences in dubbing versus subtitling on the one hand, and the reasons of differences of the target text from the source text. The statistical analysis revealed that in dubbing, cultural equivalence is the most frequently used procedure (38.26%) apparently for making the movie visible for the public Iranian audience and adjust the movie to cultural considerations. Henceforth, dubbing orients to domestication. However, subtitling, with literal translation as the most frequently used procedure (57.4%), orients to foreignisation. In dubbing of the movie, most differences are related to cultural equivalence (38.26%) and the literal translation (29.56%) is in the next step. An interesting point is that the procedure of calque is neither used in subtitling nor in dubbing. In subtitling, cultural equivalence stands in the second place (17.34) and explanation (9.50%) occupies the third place.
