DOWNLOAD EBOOKQuality in Translation is a compilation of papers from the ""Proceedings of the Third Congress of the International Federation of Translators."" This collection discusses the quality methods and criteria of translation, the training of translators, practical measures in translating, and terminologies. This text describes what a good translation should be. This book analyzes the problems encountered when translating from one language to another: language thought patterns, occurrence of transformations during translations, and the range of interpretability. Another concern this book addresses is the dilemma of quality versus quantity, especially in scientific materials when more studies need to be translated for wider exposure to the scientific community. The training of translators covers how Russian students are selected, the training methods, and emphasis on peculiarities of the English and Russian languages. Practical matters include choosing the right translator for the right job or subject, as well as some advice for clients seeking translators for embassy work. The terminological aspects in translating include the translator's confidence with his choice of words and how he uses a scientist's new coined words instead of his employing similar terminologies used by the scientist's colleagues. This book also cites the accomplishments of the International Committee for the Co-ordination of Terminological Activities. Translators and students studying foreign languages, overseas workers, consulate staff, linguists and administrators of international companies will find this book relevant.
Perspectives on Translation Quality

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe volume is a collection of papers that deal with the issue of translation quality from a number of perspectives. It addresses the quality of human translation and machine translation, of pragmatic and literary translation, of translations done by students and by professional translators. Quality is not merely looked at from a linguistic point of view, but the wider context of QA in the translation workflow also gets ample attention. The authors take an inductive approach: the papers are based on the analysis of translation data and/or on hands-on experience. The book provides a bird's eye view of the crucial quality issues, the close collaboration between academics and industry professionals safeguarding attention for quality in the 'real world'. For this reason, the methodological stance is likely to inspire the applied researcher. The analyses and descriptions also include best practices for translation trainers, professional translators and project managers.
Training for the New Millennium

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginating at an international forum held at the University of Vic (Spain), the twelve essays collected here attest to important changes in translation practice and the assumptions which underpin them. Leading theorists respond to the state of Translation Studies today, particularly the epistemological dilemma between theories that are empirically oriented and those that are inspired by developments in Cultural Studies. But the volume is also practical. Experienced instructors survey existing pedagogies at translator/interpreter training programs and explore new techniques that address the technological and global challenges of the new millennium. Among the topics considered are: how to use translation technology in the classroom, how to construct a syllabus for a course in audiovisual translating or in translation theory, and how to develop guidelines for a program for community interpreters or conference interpreters. The contributors all assume that translation, whether written or oral, does not occupy a neutral space. It is a cross-cultural exchange that produces far-reaching social effects. Their essays significantly advance the theoretical and practical understanding of translation along these lines.
Qualité de vie liée a l'état de santé: critère d'évaluation

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAprès plusieurs décennies de recherche, le critère "qualité de vie liée à l'état de santé" est probablement à la croisée des chemins dans le domaine de l'évaluation thérapeutique. Il s'intègre dans le cadre plus large des "Patient-Reported Outcomes". En effet, l'évaluation par le patient lui-même de l'efficacité et de la tolérance des médicaments dans un nombre croissant de pathologies, notamment chroniques, apparaît essentielle. L'introduction précise et justifie les situations et pathologies dans lesquelles la mesure de la qualité de vie apporte une information qui ne peut être mesurée correctement par les critères d'évaluation habituels cliniques, biologiques ou physiologiques. La première partie du livre, rapporte l'état de la science quant à la définition et au développement des questionnaires de qualité de vie et des "Patient-Reported Outcomes". Elle précise les nécessités de l'adaptation culturelle et de la validation psychométrique des questionnaires dans le cadre d'essais cliniques internationaux. Elle rapporte les recommandations pratiques d'un groupe de travail multidisciplinaire (ERIQA, European Regulatory Issues on Quality of Life Assessment) sur la mesure de ces critères dans les essais cliniques. L'application de ces concepts est illustrée dans le domaine de la pathologie rhumatologique, par une revue des questionnaires génériques et spécifiques disponibles. La deuxième partie confronte les arguments des acteurs impliqués dans l'enregistrement du médicament: industriel, et représentants des Agences française et européenne (AFSSAPS, EMEA), et de la FDA américaine. Elle permet de mieux cerner les conditions dans lesquelles les autorités d'enregistrement peuvent accepter les études de qualité de vie. La lecture du livre laisse entrevoir, dès maintenant, une place centrale du patient dans les prises de décision thérapeutique. En dépit de leur approche parfois différente, tous les auteurs du livre emploient un même mot: celui de rigueur (méthodologique, logistique, d'analyse et d'interprétation). C'est à cette exigence que le critère qualité de vie gardera toute sa crédibilité scientifique.

Recent Advances in Multiword Units in Machine Translation and Translation Technology

ISBN-13: 9027246386
DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe investigation of phraseology through corpus-based and computational approaches holds significant relevance for various professionals, including translators, interpreters, terminologists, lexicographers, language instructors, and learners. Computational Phraseology, and in particular the computational analysis of multiword expressions (also known as multiword units), has gained prominence in recent years and is essential for a number of Natural Language Processing and Translation Technology applications. The failure to detect these units automatically could result in incorrect and problematic automatic translations and could hinder the performance of applications such as text summarisation and web search. Against this background, the volume offers 13 articles carefully selected and organised into two parts: ‘Computational treatment of multiword units’ and ‘Corpus-based and linguistic studies in phraseology‘. The contributions not only highlight the latest advancements in computational and corpus-based phraseology but also reiterate its vital role in all areas of language technologies, including basic and applied research.
