We will work with AI- tools in class, but the use of AI must be explicitly indicated throughout.Assessments will reflect the translation directions relevant to each student. One assessment will take place in Media Lab under the same conditions and requirements as the final examination (Modulprüfung).

Analysing texts from the fields of technology and science; working on specialist terminology. Students will familiarise themselves with complex topics in both working languages; use of glossaries and specialist terminology databases; independent research (content-related, linguistic, terminology); work with different types of texts.
Method:
- Discussing the challenges of translating specialised texts.
- Discussing the source texts in class - analysing the source text with regard to the terminological challenges
- Terminology researchThe language combinations (directions) covered in the course will be determined at the beginning of the semester based on the students’ curricular requirements. In mixed groups, both relevant language directions will be included.Students must complete at least three translation assignments using memoQ or another CAT tool and submit them in an appropriate export format.
