The first session (end of semester) overall evaluation covers the student's work accomplished during the translation seminar.
The student will demonstrate his or her professional skills and knowledge by abiding by the terms and specifications of the translation project he or she will be submitted to, not only in terms of quality of the « final product », but also in terms of how the methodology used (appropriate approach towards the translation process, appropriate use of CAT-tools) meets the objectives in every single required « tasks » (summary report of French specialized corpus documents, summary translation of Russian specialized corpus documents, self-revision and/or cross-revision, full translation of specialized texts, etc.).
The following criteria will also be taken into account: formal presentation requirements, deadlines, translator's professional code of ethics.
The student's presence is requested at all in-situ training sessions of the translation workshop.
The second session (September session) overall evaluation consists of an in-situ 8-hour translation exam in the working conditions of a professional translator's workstation. The student will be given a text directly related to the special field of study of the semester, as well as other related tasks to complete in accordance with the specifications.
The training methodology of this seminar consists of a multi-objective professionally oriented translation project (terms and specifications to be met, translator's professional code of ethics, work organization, etc.).
Step 1. Documentary research applied to translation (accuracy, validity and reliability of sources) leading to the writing of a summary report (or a summary translation) in order to make sure the student gets acquainted with the subject.
Step 2. Analytical reading of the source text and identification of possible terminology and/or discourse difficulties.
Step 3. Bilingual texts corpus building (mainly UN reference texts), text align with translation memories, corpus-based terminology and phraseology/collocation extraction.
Step 4. Translation of the source texts using the most appropriate CAT-tools.
Step 5. Harmonization of the target text and validation of the translation (by means of self-revision and cross-revision).
Multi-objective translation project concerning a question of geopolitics/geostrategy in which the Russian Federation is actively involved as a subject of international law (e.g. the Artic question).
