Airline ticket office, Copenhagen: WE TAKE YOUR BAGS AND SEND THEM IN ALL DIRECTIONS. Hotel, Vienna: IN CASE OF FIRE, DO YOUR UTMOST TO ALARM THE HOTEL PORTER. Hotel, Bucharest: THE LIFT IS BEING FIXED FOR THE NEXT DAY. DURING THAT TIME, WE REGRET THAT YOU WILL BE UNBEARABLE. Doctor's office, Rome: SPECIALIST IN WOMEN AND OTHER DISEASES Laundry, Rome: LADIES, LEAVE YOUR CLOTHES HERE AND SPEND THE AFTERNOON HAVING A GOOD TIME. What do all these quotes have in common? Are they the punchlines for comedy skits that flopped? Maybe, but they are also examples of bad translations. Another example… Imagine a tourist takes a vacation to the nonexistent country of Noland. After a long day of seeing the incredible sights of Noland City, the Noland Statue, the Noland Memorial Dairy Farm, and the National Museum of Cheese Making and hiking through the Nolandia National Park, she and her family are starving, not to mention exhausted. When they walk into the hotel restaurant, they see the following short snack menu: yxzq riwwyw Cheese soap riwwyw qxj Pot cheese yedu otbc h lxowm Sweetened sour milk Page | 9 The Translator Training Textbook by Adriana Tassini Somewhat mystified, they nonetheless thank their lucky stars that they all adore cheese. Since they haven’t had a bite to eat all day and are feeling adventurous, they order all three items and are pleasantly surprised when the waiter brings cheese soup, Welsh rarebit (melted cheese served in a pot), and yogurt with honey. When the Nolandish restaurant owner comes out to ask the tourists how they liked the meal, he proudly tells them that his nephew recently started a business as a freelance translator and did the menu translations. The tourists can’t bring themselves to hurt his feelings by telling him how confusing the menu actually was. Although Noland doesn’t exist, our cheese-loving tourist family encountered an all too common situation, one in which a mistranslation, an amateur translation, or even a translation by a well-meaning or under-trained professional working outside their native language impedes meaning instead of enabling it. In these cases, the original message gets lost in translation. And that’s just an example of why the work of well-trained translation professionals are so important. Note: Throughout this book, you will see links to multimedia content, including videos and an audio interview with an expert translator. It is important to note that the URL links provided to these resources are case sensitive, so if you see the URL, https://translatorcertification.com/video1/ you must type that in as seen.

Normally, people do not think about translations unless either a translated text is incomprehensible or awful or unless they, too, are translators. In fact, the best translations are invisible. So, if the best translations

  • RGCL Then Proposed the Use of Post-Editing Time As an Objective Quality Discriminator [1]
    REF3b Institution: University of Wolverhampton Unit of Assessment: 28 Modern Languages and Linguistics Title of case study: Post-editing effort indicators for estimation of translation quality and productivity 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) This case study explores the impact of RGCL’s Translation Post-Editing Tool1 (PET) on Hermes Traducciones y Servicios Linguisticos (Hermes), NLP Technologies Ltd. (NLPT) and the Department of Translation, Interpreting and Communication (DTIC) at Ghent University. Hermes and NLPT are companies providing translation services in varied domains through a pipeline that combines translation technologies and post-editing. DTIC offers postgraduate courses on translation studies and interpreting, including subjects such as post-editing. PET enables the editing of pre-translated text, and the detection of ‘effort indicators’. This helps improve assessment of translation systems/approaches, the quality of pre-translated text, and the effort needed to convert it into a publishable form. At Hermes, workflows developed using PET have reduced post-editing time by 31-34%; at NLPT, workflows optimised using PET have saved an average of 66 seconds of post-editing time per sentence. At DTIC, PET has been used to enhance the courses Computer-Aided Translation and Technical Translation. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) Post-editing machine translation (MT) output has been shown to be a successful way of incorporating MT into human translation workflows in order to minimise time and cost in the translation industry. The editing of pre-translated text is a common practice among users of translation memory (TM) tools, which provide user-friendly and functional environments for translators (e.g.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.
