Eleven students from the Department of Translation, Terminology and Interpreting Studies actively participated in the Tradutech session last March 2016.
The European project OTCT (Optimising translator training through collaborative technical translation) aims to enhance the professionally-oriented content of university translation degree programmes. Tradutech sessions are intensive collaborative technical translation sessions organised in simulated professional conditions and involving seven European universities, including the University of Malta. They are designed to confront students with real-life translation industry situations and problem-solving.
Participating students produced translation into their own language of one or several technical documents, with near professional deadlines and delivery specifications. Prof. A. Aquilina and Mrs C. Borg were the coordinators of this project on behalf of the Department.
