@inproceedings{655, author = {Marion Wittkowsky}, title = {Integrating machine translation (MT) in the higher education of translators and technical writers.}, abstract = {This paper describes how MT is integrated into a course project for translation and technical writing students. The course project is based on the idea of combining controlled language and a pre-editing step in order to achieve an effective way to prepare contemporary technical documentation for rule-based machine translation (RBMT). I will explain what I mean by “contemporary” within the context of technical documentation and why this attribute plays an important role within the decision-making process to integrate CL, pre-editing and MT in the course project, which also includes practical exercises for the students. In addition, the reason why RBMT is the MT method chosen within the context of multilingual text production is explained. }, year = {2014}, booktitle = {Translating and the Computer 36}, journal = {Translating and the Computer 36}, pages = {9}, month = {11/2014}, address = {London}, url = {https://web.archive.org/web/20200721094751/http://www.mt-archive.info/10/Asling-2014-Wittkowsky.pdf}, }
