| dc.description.abstract | Recent advances in artificial intelligence, natural language processing and ready access to freely available online tools are raising people's expectations that quality translation is easily accessible and practically instantaneous. In addition to the sobering reality of the risks and cultural inappropriateness associated with the misleadingly fluent output of some of the machine translation systems (cf. Martindale and Carpuat 2018), professional translators now often have to act as consultants and deal with unrealistic client expectations. Media citing research reports claiming human parity for neural machine translation (cf. Hassan et al. 2018) add to the strong underestimation of the complexity of translation work. Raising their clients’ awareness of the complex skills set required for professional translation and the risks associated with machine translation output (cf. Wahler 2018) has now become an important part of translators’ work. As a consequence, knowledge about the capabilities and limitations of the machines and tools with which translators are and will be working (cf. Massey and Ehrensberger-Dow 2017) is an increasingly relevant aspect of translation competence. This type of knowledge has been referred to as MT literacy by Bowker and Buitrago Ciro (2019), whose list of component competences includes: comprehending the basics of MT systems; appreciating the wider implications associated with the use of MT; evaluating how MT-friendly texts are; creating or modifying a text so that it could be translated; and modifying MT output to improve its accuracy and readability. In this presentation, we discuss how MT literacy can empower translators to bring their expertise as language professionals to the table and argue that it should be regarded as a means to foster translators’ agency and empowerment. We explore how it can be related to soft skills, such as a strong professional self-concept and self- confidence, in translator training. | de_CH |
