Lab Exercise Details
Description of the Hand-On Exercise [Back to the programme]
Participants are divided into groups of 4 or 5. Each group will consist of a project manager, a terminologist, a proofreader, and at least 3 translators (roles can be overlapped this time). Each group receives a source document of ca. 1,250 words, which is easy to split up into multiple parts. Groups are then asked to translate this text as efficiently as possible, using the available software tools to the maximum extent.
To accomplish the task, groups will perform the following steps:
- Terminology (glossary) preparation
- Creation of a shared translation memory and a termbase; importing the glossary prepared in step (1)
- Creation of network projects for the translators; distribution of the projects
- Translation using the MemoQ system
- Proofreading using the MemoQ system
- Finalizing the target documents and exporting the translation memory
More details will be posted soon. During the Seminar, you will be able to read the instructions from this website.
Support
This event and the development of the MemoQ system is partly financed by the Hungarian government and EU cohesion funds.
