Content

The aim of this teaching unit is to progressively take the students to the real-life working conditions of a translation project. Therefore, the students will have to manage the various stages of a translation project from German into French, from the purchase order to the delivery (administrative tasks, document and terminology research, translation, proofreading and revision). Among other tasks, the students will be asked to translate, in class and within a specific period of time, using computer-assisted translation tools if and when necessary, one or several texts pertaining to the fields of economic translation, legal translation and scientific or technical translation.

Evaluation methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

Formative and/or partly summative assessment of the student's work over the course of the term.
Summative assessment in January: written exam (translation project from German into French ' one full day), to be corrected by a board of teachers. The written exam (summative assessment) will consist in the translation of one or several texts on economic, legal, scientific and/or technical matters in connection with the topics dealt with over the course of the term.
When two parts of the Specialised Translation Workshops are failures, the EU will not be validated, regardless of the overall result obtained.
If, despite an overall result equal or superior to 10, the student has two failures, the final overall result will be calculated by averaging the two failures, and the failed parts will have to be retaken during the August session.
In case of global failure, the failed part(s) will be retaken. A mark of 0/20 in one of the parts will, regardless of the overall result, mean that part will have to be retaken.
 If the EU is not validated at the end of a year, all the fields (legal, economic, scientific and technical) must be presented the following year.

Other information

Using machine translation software during a translation exercise or exam is forbidden. Such software may only be used as a starting point for a post-edition exercise given by the teacher.
