Programme: Specialised Translation for Technical, Economic and Social Sciences - distance learning (from 2021/22/Term 2)
Subject Role: Compulsory
Recommended semester: 0
Objectives
In this semester, students learn about the SDL computer-assisted translation software suite and its functions and learn the skills to use this programme on a basic level as well as learn terminology, methodology and specialised subjects. They learn how to use the SDL Trados Studio and MultiTerm and the import, export functions required for their use. Students also become familiar with the basic principles of revision, and cover professional, business and ethical con-siderations related to machine-translation post-editing (MTPE).
Academic results
Knowledge
- They are able to efficiently use the SDL Trados software suite.
Skills
- They are able to efficiently use the SDL Trados software suite.
- They are able to use previously learned basic translation strategies in the computer-assisted translation environment as well and based on those, deliver quality translations in harmony with specific client and stylistic requirements.
Attitude
- They are expected to use their knowledge about culture and norms in the source and target languages in an optimal way in the computer-assisted translation environment.
- In order to support terminology consistency, they are expected to find the existing target language equivalents of foreign words used in the source texts.
Independence and responsibility
- Students recognise the problems/errors related to the translation of the terminology into the target language, they independently classify and weigh these errors and are able to defend their own translation solutions.
- They are able to revise their own translations and/or the translation of others in the computer-assisted translation environment using the quality assurance features.
Teaching methodology
Students learn to use the SDL / MultiTerm translation management software based on a timeline determined by their teacher and are expected to independently improve their skills. In addition to the teaching methods of the course, the internet and the digital media is also used to help students learn these skills. Students have access to the course material via their own Moodle account. They are expected to complete their home assignments independently and submit them via Moodle by the required deadline. Students may be required to work independently, in pairs or in a team in projects completed in or out of the classroom.

Performance assessment methods
Az oktató alapvetően a fejlesztő értékelés szempontjait tartja szem előtt: a hallgató többféle formában kaphat visz-szajelzést a félév során, pl. hibajelölés, írásos és szóbeli értékelés. A féléves értékelés alapja a szoftverhasználati kompetencia (önállóság, hatékonyság, pontosság, igényesség, önel-lenőrzés) és az órai munka, valamint a házi feladatok elvégzése.
