Content
This course sets out to simulate the realistic conditions of a translation project. Students will have to tackle the various steps of a French-into-German translation project with professionalism, from order to delivery (i.e. administrative tasks, documentary and terminological research, translation, revision). 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 various tools.

Evaluation methods
During the term: formative assessment.
January and August/September sessions: written examination.
Students are required to take one written examination per translation workshop (i.e. economic, legal, and scientific/technical translation) in connection with the topics dealt with during the term.
The final grade will consist of three integrated parts of equal importance. A pass (i.e. 10/20 or more) in at least two of the three parts is required to demonstrate the skills and knowledge laid out in the learning outcomes of the course. A failing grade (i.e. less than 10/20) in two parts of the course will result in a failing grade for the whole course. If the final mark is less than 10/20, the failed parts will have to be taken again during the August/September exam session. In case of an unjustified absence, students will have to take all three translation workshops during the August/September exam session. Students who have failed the course when the academic year ends will have to take all three translation workshops (economic, legal, scientific/technical) the following year.
