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

Formative and/or partly summative assessment of the student's work over the course of the term.
Summative assessment in January: written exam (translation project from German into French ' one full day), to be corrected by a board of teachers. The written exam (summative assessment) will consist in the translation of one or several texts on economic, legal, scientific and/or technical matters in connection with the topics dealt with over the course of the term.
The overall mark will be calculated by averaging the three marks. In case of an overall fail mark, the failed parts will have to be retaken during the August/September exam session. In case of an unjustified absence, students will have to retake all three translation workshops during the August/September exam session. Students who have failed the teaching unit when the academic year ends will have to retake all three translation workshops (economic; legal; scientific and technical) the following year.

Other information

Using machine translation software during a translation exercise or exam is forbidden. Such software may only be used as a starting point for a post-edition exercise given by the teacher.
