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. 

Teaching methods

In-class sessions, in computer room

Evaluation methods

During the term: formative assessment.
January and August/September sessions: written examination.
Students are required to take one written examination per translation workshop (i.e. economic, legal, and scientific/technical translation) in connection with the topics dealt with during the term.
The final grade will consist of three integrated parts of equal importance. A pass (i.e. 10/20 or more) in at least two of the three parts is required to demonstrate the skills and knowledge laid out in the learning outcomes of the course. A failing grade (i.e. less than 10/20) in two parts of the course will result in a failing grade for the whole course. If the final mark is less than 10/20, the failed parts will have to be taken again during the August/September exam session. In case of an unjustified absence, students will have to take all three translation workshops during the August/September exam session. Students who have failed the course when the academic year ends will have to take all three translation workshops (economic, legal, scientific/technical) the following year.
The use of machine translation is strictly forbidden.

Other information

The use of machine translation of any kind is prohibited, except as a starting point for an exercise proposed by the teacher.
