S2E6 - Lynne Bowker - Machine Translation

Prof Lynne Bowker joins us to talk about the important working being done in the Machine Translation Literacy Project. Translators are not the only users of MT - in fact, we're probably not even the main users. So what do non-translator users of MT understand about the technology? How do they use it? And why does this matter to us as translators?   Guest Prof Lynne Bowker https://uniweb.uottawa.ca/members/415 [https://uniweb.uottawa.ca/members/415]  Machine Translation Literacy Project https://sites.google.com/view/machinetranslationliteracy/?pli=1 [https://sites.google.com/view/machinetranslationliteracy/?pli=1]  https://twitter.com/LiteracyMachine [https://twitter.com/LiteracyMachine]    You can find Prof Bowker's new book De-mystifying Translation: Introducing Translation to Non-translators here: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mono/10.4324/9781003217718/de-mystifying-translation-lynne-bowker [https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mono/10.4324/9781003217718/de-mystifying-translation-lynne-bowker]    We'd love to hear your feedback or suggestions for topics!

S2E5 - Daniela Ford - Technology (part 2)

Part 2 of 2 of our conversation with Daniela Ford about technology in the translation industry. This time, we're focusing on MT and how technology has changed the way we work, particularly how we research our translations. Please note that this conversation was recorded before ChatGPT exploded into public awareness, and that's the only reason it's not mentioned. We will very likely come back to ChatGPT and similar AI tools in a later episode.
