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 a range of localisation challenges.

In particular, by the end of the course they will be able to:
- design effective localisation workflows and create collaborative localisation projects;
- suggest a variety of ways in which localisation project automation can be achieved fully or partially;
- create, maintain, and exchange language assets (translation memories, termbases, segmentation rules, etc.) between computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools;
- integrate and customise machine translation (MT) engines for localisation workflows;
- use several CAT tools for the translation/revision/post-editing of content in a variety of file formats;
- use and customise quality assurance (QA) features of CAT tools.
- export localisation project deliverables in a range of formats, including standardised translation content exchange formats;
- assess critically the merits and challenges of several translation technologies and automation approaches used in localisation projects.
Didactic approach:
The content of this course is acquired by students in an interactive and blended way between in-class tasks and hands-on home assignments studying the research literature and reflecting on a variety of Language Services Industry business and technical problems. The course is delivered in English.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will need to use all the knowledge and experience regarding a wide range of aspects connected with various translation technologies which they have acquired during the course to complete several assessed tasks, as well as write an end-of-course essay.
