Content
This course sets out to simulate the realistic conditions of a translation project. Students will have to tackle the various steps of a Russian-into-French translation project with professionalism, from order to delivery (i.e. administrative tasks, documentary and terminological research, translation, revision, post-editing).
Students will be asked to translate one or several texts dealing with the two specialized translation fields selected at the start of the academic year, among economic translation, legal translation and scientific/technical translation. Students can mix fields as they wish in their two C languages.
The different tasks will be carried out in the computer lab, meeting specific deadlines and relying on CAT tools when appropriate.
If need be, the student may be asked to do a preliminary work according to the instructions given by the teacher via the e-learning platform.
