The Impact of Collaborative Processes on Target Text Quality in Translator Training
Gys-Walt Van Egdom; Iris Schrijver; Heidi Verplaetse; Winibert Segers
Interpreter and Translator Trainer, v18 n3 p486-506 2024
This article explores the impact of collaboration on target text quality in translator training. By comparing team translations with those by individual peers, and analysing the highest and lowest scoring teams, the authors aimed to understand the impact of collaboration on quality. The comparison indicates that translations in a skills lab setting marginally outperform individual translations, but that carelessness is more likely to be observed in the intermediate individual target texts produced in a collaborative setting.
