POST-EDITING PRACTICE IN SPECIALIZED TRANSLATION TRAINING

The impact of new technologies in the translation industry has produced an ongoing debate in recent decades, especially regarding to certain tools that are becoming more prevalent. A particularly controversial issue relates to machine translation post-editing (MTPE), and that has fostered an interest in analyzing the applicability of MTPE in translator training. A literature review on the different IT tools that are being used in the translation industry has been conducted in order to design a collaborative post-editing project to be carried out in specialized translation training. The most relevant results presented in this paper show, on one hand, an improvement in various competences useful for translation and, on the other hand, that the project was well received by the participant students.
