SURVEY: THE USE OF TERMINOLOGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS INTEGRATED TO TEnTS
A quem possa interessar
We are conducting a research project based at the University of Ottawa to learn more about how language professionals manage terminology within Translation Environment Tools. We would like to invite you to participate in this study.
If you are a language professional who works with Translation Environment Tools (e.g. Déjà Vu, SDL TRADOS, MultiTrans, WordFast, OmegaT), we need your help!
Q: Will it take long?
A: No – only about 15-20 minutes of your time.
Q: Do I have to give my name or contact details?
A: No – you can remain completely anonymous.
Q: What do I have to do?
A: Answer a short survey on how you manage terminology.
Q: What if my answers aren’t right?
A: There are no wrong answers! We want to know about YOUR practices. It doesn’t matter how anyone else responds. Just give us your honest opinion.
Q: What will the outcome of this project be?
A: We hope to achieve a better understanding of the terminology-related needs of language professionals, and to determine whether or how terminology management can be optimized when integrated within Translation Environment Tools.
Q: Where can I find out more?
A: Attached to this message you will find a Letter of Information. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact the researchers Professor Lynne Bowker (lbowker@uottawa.ca) or Ms. Marta Gómez Palou (mgome006@uottawa.ca).

Você disse "precariedade"?
Afinal, este não é um só problema nosso...
BRUSSELS, 12 December 2008
Press release
PRECARIOUS WORKING CONDITIONS JEOPARDISE QUALITY OF TRANSLATED LITERATURE
The European Council of Literary Translators’ Associations (CEATL) announces the publication of its comparative study of European literary translators’ social and economic conditions, carried out in 2007–2008, the first survey of its kind. The main conclusion: nowhere in Europe can literary translators make a living under the conditions imposed on them by “the market”; in many countries (including some of the wealthiest), their situation can only be described as catastrophic. This is a serious social problem on a continent that prides itself in being developed, multicultural and multilingual, but it is also, and above all, a major artistic and cultural problem. What are the implications for the quality of literary exchanges between our societies if literary translators have to dash off their work in haste in order to keep body and soul together?
To download the study, go to:
www.ceatl.eu/docs/surveyuk.pdf (English)
or
www.ceatl.eu/docs/surveyfr.pdf (French).
The publication of this study coincides with the launch of CEATL’s revamped website, which is now at www.ceatl.eu.
