  • The Impact of Crowdsourcing Post-Editing with the Collaborative Translation Framework
    The Impact of Crowdsourcing Post-editing with the Collaborative Translation Framework Takako Aikawa1, Kentaro Yamamoto2, and Hitoshi Isahara2 1 Microsoft Research, Machine Translation Team [email protected] 2 Toyohashi University of Technology [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents a preliminary report on the impact of crowdsourcing post-editing through the so-called “Collaborative Translation Framework” (CTF) developed by the Machine Translation team at Microsoft Research. We first provide a high-level overview of CTF and explain the basic functionalities available from CTF. Next, we provide the motivation and design of our crowdsourcing post-editing project using CTF. Last, we present the re- sults from the project and our observations. Crowdsourcing translation is an in- creasingly popular-trend in the MT community, and we hope that our paper can shed new light on the research into crowdsourcing translation. Keywords: Crowdsourcing post-editing, Collaborative Translation Framework. 1 Introduction The output of machine translation (MT) can be used either as-is (i.e., raw-MT) or for post-editing (i.e., MT for post-editing). Although the advancement of MT technology is making raw-MT use more pervasive, reservations about raw-MT still persist; espe- cially among users who need to worry about the accuracy of the translated contents (e.g., government organizations, education institutes, NPO/NGO, enterprises, etc.). Professional human translation from scratch, however, is just too expensive. To re- duce the cost of translation while achieving high translation quality, many places use MT for post-editing; that is, use MT output as an initial draft of translation and let human translators post-edit it.

  • 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.

  • On the Subtitle Translation of Mirror Mirror from Relevance Theory
    American Research Journal of English and Literature Original Article ISSN 2378-9026 Volume 1, Issue 3, June-2015 On The Subtitle Translation of Mirror Mirror from Relevance Theory Han Cui-ping1, Ni Xue-li Yangtze University, College of Arts and Science (Jingzhou. Hubei，434020) Abstract: The popularity of foreign audio-visual products facilitates exchanges and communication among various cultures, and recent years have seen an increasing number of films distributed in foreign markets, which naturally leads to the prosperity of subtitle translation. This thesis selects the film Mirror Mirror as a case to analyze film subtitle translation strategies in the perspective of relevance theory. It consists of five parts: Part One offers a brief introduction to the research background and issues together with thesis structure. Partr Two offers some theories of Relevance Theory and relationship between relevance theory and subtitle translation. Part Three focuses a study on the subtitle translation strategies of Mirror Mirror from the perspective of relevance theory in which a detailed analysis of the difficult problems and response strategies will be made. Part Four is the conclusion. The thesis is an attempt to prove that Relevance Theory can be well applied in subtitle translation to guide the translation activity and improve the quality of subtitle translation. Keywords: Subtitle translation; Relevance Theory; Mirror Mirror; translation strategies. I. INTRODUCTION Throughout the translation history, equivalence has been regarded as the vital standard for a very long time. Nevertheless, with translation fields have become more and more colorful and diversity, such as film subtitle translation, business translation and advertising translation, the limitations of these translations rules have gradually turned up.

  • The Importation of the Holy Quran Into English: Governing Factors in the Translating Process
    AWEJ. Special Issue on Translation No.3 May, 2014 Pp. 95 - 104 The Importation of the Holy Quran into English: Governing Factors in the Translating Process Abobaker Ali M. Alsaleh Brakhw Universiti Utara Malaysia Sharifah Fazliyaton Shaik Ismail Universiti Utara Malaysia Abstract The current paper reviews briefly the literature on the translation of Holy Quran and articulates several factors that influenced the process of translating it. These factors are linguistic, stylistic, and personal. The first two refer to the inimitable style of the Holy Quran and the figurative speech employed in its structure, while personal factors are related to the knowledge and ideology of the translator. This paper seeks to establish a theoretical understanding of the factors that governed and shaped the translations of the Holy Quran to open arenas for future investigation of its translations, specifically the English translations, and provide suggestions to overcome the limitations of the translations. Keywords: Factors, language, meaning, Quran, translation Arab World English Journal www.awej.org 95 ISSN: 2229-9327 AWEJ. Special Issue on Translation No.3 May, 2014 The Importation of the Holy Quran into English Brakhw & Ismail Introduction One of the most noticeable developments of Quranic exegesis in the Muslim world is the upsurge of the translations of the Holy Quran in the twentieth century. In fact, the Index Translationum (http://unesco.org/culture/xtrans/) statistics indicate that the Holy Quran has been translated into more than twenty languages, including major European languages, such as English, French, Germany, Italian, Spanish, Norwegian and Asian languages, for instance, Urdu, Malayalam, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, and Malay.

  • Examining the Re-Translation Hypothesis: the Case of 2 Three Short Stories in the Saudi Literary System 3
    2019-2931-AJP 1 Examining the Re-Translation Hypothesis: The Case of 2 Three Short Stories in the Saudi Literary System 3 4 Translation has an ultimate purpose of serving as a cross-cultural bilingual communication 5 vehicle among peoples. As a result of their animated interaction with other cultures, Saudi 6 readers became more interested in reading translated books that allow them to explore other 7 cultures. Books vary in their characteristics and the strategies implemented in their 8 translation. However, fiction has always been a mirror that reflects cultures. Therefore, it 9 needs to be sensibly translated in accordance to the translation norms of the target audience. 10 Nonetheless, cultures vary in the degree they perceive foreign cultures. Some audience might 11 prefer target oriented translations while others favour source oriented translations. Reflecting 12 on a comparative text analysis of a selection of three short stories written by prominent 13 English writers, their translations as well as their retranslations, this paper attempts to identify 14 the most prevalent strategies adapted in the rendering of cultural references driven by the 15 social factors contributing to the translator’s decision making process in the Saudi context. 16 The paper discusses in particular the Retranslation Hypothesis developed by Berman, Gambier 17 and Bensimon in the 1990s, in relation to Venuti 1998 Domestication and Foreignization 18 approach. The findings, which refute the hypotheses within the Saudi literary system, are used 19 to explore the close relevance of the strategic variation to social impacts, being variables that 20 affect the translation outcome. The paper highlights the occurrence of cultural references 21 within the short stories and the frequency of the used procedures in the rendering, to determine 22 the prevalent ones with the highest potential for conveying the intended meaning.

  • Skills and Methods of Russian-Chinese Translation
    2019 2nd International Conference on Cultures, Languages and Literatures, and Arts (CLLA 2019) Skills and Methods of Russian-Chinese Translation Guang Feng Hulunbuir University, Hulunbuir city, Inner Mongolia, China Keywords: Russian-Chinese translation, Method, Skill, Culture. Abstract: In the context of global economic integration, international exchanges have become increasingly frequent. In this context, the exchanges between China and Russia in politics, economy and culture are also deepening, and the demand for Russian and Chinese translators is also rising. However, at this stage, the Russian and Chinese translation talents are limited by economic culture and culture, and the level of translation ability is not the same. It is difficult to meet the Russian and Chinese translation needs of both sides. This article mainly expounds the skills and methods of Russian-Chinese translation. It is expected to provide some translation skills and methods for the follow-up Russian-Chinese translation talents to help the economic and cultural exchanges between China and Russia. 1. Research background 1.1 Literature review In recent years, with the increasing number of China's economic and cultural exchanges with Russia, the propaganda work on Russia is becoming more and more important. Because the two countries have different political, economic, cultural, social systems, religious beliefs and historical backgrounds, the information contained in the two cultures is different, which causes some difficulties in the process of Russian-Chinese
