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.

Teaching methods
Compulsory workshops in the computer lab.
The student’s presence is requested at all in-situ training sessions. In case of an unjustified absence at the training sessions, the student may be sanctioned, according to article 72 of the General Regulations for Studies and Examinations, the teachers being allowed to propose to the jury to oppose the registration for the January or September sessions of a student who has not attended at least 80% of the courses.

- Preliminary work according to the instructions given by the teacher via the e-learning platform (if need be).
Evaluation methods
- Over the course of the term the term: formative assessment of the student's work.
- January and August/September sessions: written examination (4 hours per specialized translation field) in the working conditions of a professional translator’s workstation.
The use of MT (machine translation) is strictly forbidden in any translation exercise or examination work, unless explicitly specified otherwise - where applicable - in the specific context of a post-editing exercise proposed by the teacher for teaching purposes. Similarly, the use of any software or application based on AI (artificial intelligence), such as ChatGPT, is strictly forbidden in writing and editing exercises.
In any case, a paper to be presented or submitted as part of the course or examination session will be a personal work that reflects the student's personal skills. Unless explicitly specified otherwise, the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and machine translation (MT) is strictly prohibited. All sources used will be appropriately cited and referenced.
- The overall mark will be calculated by averaging the two marks.
In case of an unjustified absence in one of the two parts of the examination, the student will have to retake both during the August/September exam session.
Any irregularity, such as the use of machine translation (MT) programs, the writing of a paper by third parties or with the help of an AI, plagiarism, cheating by exchanging information between students or attempting to exchange information with outsiders, etc. will be penalized in accordance with the University General Study and Examination Regulations (RGEE).
