Translation Technology Landscape in a Snapshot The translation technology segment is at a deeply transformative point in its evolution. For one genera- tion the segment was largely comprised of solutions that serviced the professional translation industry. These tools improve the productivity and consistency of human translation and they remain relevant for their steadily growing target market. +RZHYHULQWKHODVW¿YH\HDUVWKHJUDQGIDWKHURIDOOWUDQVODWLRQDXWRPDWLRQWHFKQRORJLHVPDFKLQHWUDQVODWLRQ began to be adopted by the professional industry en masse and is increasingly ubiquitous on the worldwide web. The ubiquity of continuously improving data-driven or statistical machine translation is one of three factors creating a paradigm shift in the demand for translation. In addition, global economic growth is shifting to non- English speaking markets and globalization is leading to previously unseen levels of cultural exchange. Together these major technology, economic and social trends are converging to take translation from a “cost of doing business” for a few thousand organizations and a luxury professional service for almost everyone else, to a utility sector. That is to say, a necessary service for all players in the global informa- tion society, with differentiated quality expectations dependent on purpose. Demand for translation automation technology, and in particular machine translation, will grow: - From language service providers and individual translators - From internationally operating enterprises and organizations - Through being embedded in enterprise systems, social software, consumer devices and over time all digital touch points The coming years herald a Convergence era where technologies, such as speech, search and others will continue to be combined with machine translation to create new solutions. There will be functional convergence within enterprises and across supply chains as machine translation is increasingly embedded with unexpected innovations as a result. &ORXGEDVHGVHUYLFHVDQGRSHQVRXUFHWHFKQRORJ\VXFKDVWKH0RVHVWRRONLWOHYHOWKHSOD\LQJ¿HOGIRU innovative new providers.

Whether markets for translation data are open or closed is a key factor affecting the nature of evolution in the segment, the cost of solutions and the motivation to innovate. Last year we saw the number of Android apps exceed that of Apple’s iOS. Android’s open source approach shifted power dynamics and created economic opportunities for many in an extremely high growth area. Opening up access to translation data has the potential to be just as powerful an enabler. 8 Copyright © TAUS 2013 Translation Technology Landscape Report Copyright © TAUS 2013 9 Translation Technology Landscape Report Content Explosion Content and translation volume keep growing explosively, from translation of paper docu- ments to localization of software, through globalization and this current phase of integration RIWUDQVODWLRQWHFKQRORJ\LQWRGHYLFHVDQGDSSOLFDWLRQV:LWKWKHRQVHWRIXQL¿HGVHDPOHVV personalized user experiences across digital touch points there will be a manifold increase in the content explosion.

    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

In the United States this growth has been based on copyright infringement, where fans have subtitled anime series and released them as fansubs. In the absence of official releases fansubs have created the current popularity of anime, which companies can now benefit from. From the beginning the companies have tolerated and even encouraged the fan activity, partly because the fans have followed their own rules, intended to stop the distribution of fansubs after official licensing. The work explores the history and current situation of fansubs, and seeks to explain how these practices adopted by fans have arisen, why both fans and companies accept them and act according to them, and whether the situation is sustainable. Keywords: Japanese animation, anime, fansub, copyright, piracy Tiivistelmä Piratismia vai tuottavuutta: laittomat toimintatavat animen fanikäännöksissä Japanilaisen animaation eli animen suosio maailmalla on lyhyessä ajassa kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti. Tämä kasvu on Yhdysvalloissa perustunut tekijänoikeuksien rikkomiseen, missä fanit ovat tekstittäneet animesarjoja itse ja julkaisseet ne fanikäännöksinä. Virallisten julkaisujen puutteessa fanikäännökset ovat luoneet animen nykyisen suosion, jota yhtiöt voivat nyt hyödyntää. Yhtiöt ovat alusta asti sietäneet ja jopa kannustaneet fanien toimia, osaksi koska fanit ovat noudattaneet omia sääntöjään, joiden on tarkoitus estää fanikäännösten levitys virallisen lisensoinnin jälkeen.

    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.

    “A Community Unlike Any Other”: Incorporating Fansubbers into Corporate Capitalism on Viki.com Taylore Nicole Woodhouse TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin Spring 2018 __________________________________________ Dr. Suzanne Scott Department of Radio-Television-Film Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Dr. Youjeong Oh Department of Asian Studies Second Reader ABSTRACT Author: Taylore Nicole Woodhouse Title: “A Community Unlike Another Other”: Incorporating Fansubbers into Corporate Capitalism on Viki.com Supervising Professors: Dr. Suzanne Scott and Dr. Youjeong Oh Viki.com, founded in 2008, is a streaming site that offers Korean (and other East Asian) television programs with subtitles in a variety of languages. Unlike other K-drama distribution sites that serve audiences outside of South Korea, Viki utilizes fan-volunteers, called fansubbers, as laborers to produce its subtitles. Fan subtitling and distribution of foreign language media in the United States is a rich fan practice dating back to the 1980s, and Viki is the first corporate entity that has harnessed the productive power of fansubbers. In this thesis, I investigate how Viki has been able to capture the enthusiasm and productive capacity of fansubbers. Particularly, I examine how Viki has been able to monetize fansubbing in while still staying competitive with sites who employee trained, professional translators. I argue that Viki has succeeded in courting fansubbers as laborers by co-opting the concept of the “fan community.” I focus on how Viki strategically speaks about the community and builds its site to facilitate the functioning of its community so as to encourage fansubbers to view themselves as semi-professional laborers instead of amateur fans.

If you do use any of these materials, please be sure to acknowledge the author’s contribution appropriately. Sample Script #1 Please acknowledge: Lillian Clementi Please note that this presentation incorporates a number of ideas contributed by other people. Special thanks to Barbara Bell and Amanda Ennis. Length. The typical elementary school presentation is about 20 minutes, though you may have less for Career Day or more if you're doing a special presentation for a language class. There are several interactive exercises to choose from at the end: adapt the script to your needs by adding or eliminating material. Level. This is pitched largely to third or fourth grade. I usually start with the more basic exercises and then go on to the next if I have time and the group seems to be following me. For younger children, simply make them aware of other languages and focus on getting the first two or three points across. For fifth graders, you may want to make the presentation a little more sophisticated by incorporating some of the material from the middle school page. Logistics. It's helpful to transfer the script to index cards (numbered so they're easy to put back in order if they're dropped!). Because they're easier to hold than sheets of paper, they allow you to move around the room more freely, and you can simply reshuffle them or eliminate cards if you need to change your material at the last minute.
