Beyond Translation Memories: New Tools for Translators

MT Summit XII, Ottawa, August 29th 2009

Workshop Purpose and Theme

Since the late 1970s, when research on translation memories began, and the late 1980s, when the first commercial TM products became available, there have been few major breakthroughs which have led to new tools designed to support the activity of human translators. Instead, most research in the field has focussed on improving existing tools, be it translation memories, full machine translation, terminology databases, alignment editors, monolingual spelling or grammar checkers, voice recognition, workflow management, etc. The results have certainly been encouraging, often allowing translators and translation firms to work more efficiently and effectively. But have all the needs of translation practioners been fully satisfied? Beyond the recycling of full-sentence repetitions and their so-called fuzzy matches, are there new avenues left to explore?

TRANSLATION AS STYLISTIC EVOLUTION - Italo Calvino Creative Translator of Raymond Queneau

by Federico Federici. Amsterdam/New York, NY 2009: Rodopi. XVI, 302 pp. (Approaches to Translation Studies 32)

Why did Italo Calvino decide to translate Les Fleurs bleues by Raymond Queneau? Was his translation just a way to pay a tribute to one of his models? This study looks at Calvino’s translation from a literary and linguistic perspective: Calvino’s I fiori blu is more than a rewriting and a creative translation, as it contributed to a revolution in his own literary language and style.
