Translation Evaluation in Educational Settings for Training Purposes

Abstract

<span>The following article describes different methods and techniques used in <span>educational settings for translation evaluation. Translation evaluation is the <span>placing of value on a translation i.e. awarding a mark, even if only a binary <span>pass/fail one. In the present study, different features of the texts chosen for <span>evaluation were firstly considered and then scoring the text based on their <span>difficulty was discussed. For translator teachers and evaluators a key <span>problem is assessing the difficulty of source texts used in tests and <span>examinations. Thus, the significance of corpus as a large collection of texts <span>in electronic format which can be a useful performance-enhancing tool in <span>translating and evaluating was described.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /></span>
