Course Content (Syllabus)
This is the second of two courses concerning Specialized Translation. The main goal of the course is to help students acquire the basic technological skills needed in Specialized Translation. To that end, it initiates students to the use of translation technologies in the translation process, as Computer-Assisted tools (CAT), Automated or Machine translation and Corpora. The course combines theoretical approaches to Specialized Translation and translation technologies with the use of certain applications.
