Translation and technology

The integration of technology into the translation has changed the way translator follows during the translation process.
These new ways that are different from models of the
traditional translation have also facilitated what translators
do since they have accelarated the translation process and increased productivity as well as developing teamwork skill.

 

 With the integration of the technology into the tranlation teaching and translation studies, translators have started knowing and understanding how they can separate translatable parts of a text from untranslatable ones in software programs in order to avoid erroneous translations which can delay the release of the product. Information mining or having knowledge of the entire subject matterin the digital age is not as important as acquiring or understanding the skills/tasks metioned above because the former can now be provided by translation memories (TM systems)or other CAT tools for translators or translation students.

An Effective Use of ICT for education and learning by drawing

The use of ICT cause an effect in teaching and learning and this process could be separated into:

• Education
• Reading
• Writing
• Numeracy

ICTs for education refers to the development of information and communications technology specifically for teaching/learning purposes, while the ICTs in education involves the adoption of general components of information and communication technologies in the teaching learning process, it can affect the delivery of education and enable wider access to the same. In addition, it will increase flexibility so that learners can access the education regardless of time and geographical barriers. It can influence the way students are taught and how they learn.

The new ICTs and translation competence

The translation now

Competence: Translation competence is the ability to carry out the transfer process from the comprehension of the second language adquisition.

Model of translation competence that is required to be able to translate

It is an expert knowledge and its not processed by all bilinguals.

It is basically procedural (and not declarative) knowledge.

The bilingual sub competence: consist of the underlying systems of knowledge and skills that are needed for linguistics, communication to take place in two languages.

There is a wide range of ICT available to tranlators today. Among the general applications or tools, we have the internet.

General ICT's for translators

The internet: one of the most important tools offered are the search and location information engines. (Google, yahoo, bing)The use of corpus linguistics: corpora are classified in two types: the monolingual corpora and the bilingual corpora.Concordance generator programs: can find all the times that a certain term appears in a text. Machine translation: a computer program analyzes a source text and produces a target text without human futher intervention.Computer assisted translation: is a form of translation wherein a human translator creates a target text with the assistence of a computer program.

Main phases of translation process:

1. The reception phase.
2. The transfer phase.
3. The formulation phase.

Factors affecting the use of ICT by teachers.

Factors affecting the use of ICT by teachers.

The studies reveal a number of factors that influence teachers' decisions to use ICT in the classroom: access to resources, software and hardware quality, ease of use, incentives to change, support and collegiality in their school policies, School and national levels; Professional learning and formal computer training.It is commonly divided into sections that examine:O factors that discourage teachers from using technology;Or schools as organizations;Or factors that encourage teachers to use technology;The role of the teacher in relation to ICT and its effect on pedagogy;Or teachers learn to integrate technology into their teaching.Often teachers are being outdone by the way the world is changing and inhibitors for an update in teaching are increasing. Sometimes it is just laziness on their part, sometimes it is a poor improvement of technologies in the classroom due to the polycies school or the flight of teachers specializing in the use of ICT.

The role of the ICT sector in expanding economic opportunity

ICTs are the pioneers in meeting needs. Technology only increases productivity when it is available to many.

The fundamental role of ICTs in the modern economy.
Reduce transaction costs and improve productivity
Provide immediate connectivity

The Business Case for Engagement
ICT companies to help the poor get rich is the opportunity
Innovation blow back: when something is created and innovated

Business strategies for the ICT sector in the expansion of economic opportunity
The most important way for ICT companies to expand their economic opportunities is to enable technologies to develop while driving the development and diversification of relevant content, applications and services.
