Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

- This course will be taught in person in the ZTW computer lab –

Goals:
Students will become familiar with the state of the art in a range of translation technologies used to manage and complete localisation projects, and will be able to apply their knowledge to solve localisation challenges.

In particular, by the end of the course, students will be able to:
- design effective localisation workflows and create collaborative localisation projects;
- suggest ways in which localisation project automation can be achieved fully or partially, and critically assess the merits and challenges of automation;
- create, maintain, and exchange language assets (translation memories, termbases, segmentation rules, etc.) between computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools;
- integrate machine translation (MT) into localisation workflows;
- use CAT tools for the translation/revision/post-editing of content in a variety of file formats;
- use and customise quality assurance and quality assessment features of CAT tools;
- export localisation project deliverables in a range of formats, including standardised translation content exchange formats;

Didactic approach:
The content of this course is acquired by students in an interactive and blended way between in-class tasks and home assignments, experimenting with tools and studying the research literature, as well as reflecting on a variety of Language Services Industry business and technical problems. The course is delivered in English.
