THE PRACTICE-ORIENTED TRANSLATOR TRAINING CURRICULUM: AN EXAMPLE

These days, under the influence of the Bologna Process, the development of the European Master's in Translation (EMT) network and the OPTIMALE project, translator training is in the process of changing considerably from rather purely academic and theory-oriented to more practice-oriented with a strong focus on professionalisation and employability. This paper will outline a curriculum whose footprint was set up almost two decades before the signing of the Sorbonne Declaration in 1998 and the Bologna Declaration in 1999, but which is still highly relevant today as an example of a practice-oriented translator training curriculum and which fits well in recent views on translator training.
