Introduction to memoQ

Saturday 15 June 2013

There are still places available for the Interpreting and Technology

workshop being held by the Translation Unit at Imperial College.

This is open to professionals as well as students

Course Content

This course will introduce you to a new CAT tool that is gradually gaining ground in the translation industry. You will become familiar with the new user interface memoQ provides and learn how to use its main functions effectively according to the project you are working on.

The first part of the course will focus on the rationale behind the structure of memoQ in comparison to other software and the reasons that have made it popular among translation companies.

During the second part of the course, you will be introduced to the main functions of the software and you will be guided through processes of translation, as well as building your own resources with memoQ. By the end of the exercises that follow this process, you will be able to use memoQ for basic translation projects.

In the last part of the course, more advanced features will be discussed (e.g., export solutions, dealing with different file formats, compatibility with other software, QA, reports, etc.).

Finally, participants will be added to a Hangout that will last for a week where they can talk about their experience in using memoQ and discuss any issues that might arise with the rest of the participants and the tutor. Participants will also be given a list of links and resources.

Translation Technology Workshop - Term Extraction and Terminology Management - 11th May

Translation Unit - Imperial College London

Term Extraction and Terminology Management

Saturday 11 May 2013

There are still places available for the Term Extraction and Terminology Management workshop being held by the Translation Unit at Imperial College

This is open to professionals as well as students

Course Content

At the end of this course, participants will:

·         be familiar with the main concepts of term extraction;

·         have been able to familiarize themselves with the term extraction software presented;

·         have become acquainted with Lingo, a terminology management system, which allows the import of term extraction results, the creation and management of glossaries and dictionaries as well as the export of these for use in other programs.

The first part of the course will deal with term extraction and its basic concepts. In a hands-on session, participants will be able to work and experiment with the term extraction software (SDL Multiterm Extract 2011).

In order to provide a seamless transition from term extraction to glossary/dictionary building and management, the second part of the course will show participants how to use Lingo, a user-friendly and efficient program dedicated to creating and maintaining monolingual and multilingual terminologies. Participants will learn how glossaries/dictionaries are made, modified, searched, and managed. Lingo’s import (*.tmx and *.txt files) and export capabilities (*.tmx, *.txt and *.rtf files) will also be looked at. Following this, participants will have the opportunity to explore and practice the various features of Lingo.

Detailed handouts of how to use the term extractor and the terminology management system will be provided.

Participants are encouraged to bring along their own language material, e.g. source texts and their translations.
