This slide provides useful information about a controversial issue in translation concerning domestication and foreignization in translation practice and how the functionalist approach tried to solve this issue through suggesting the Skopos Theory.
Catford defines translation as the replacement of textual material in one language (SL) by equivalent textual material in another language (TL). A Formal Correspondence is any TL category which may be said to occupy the same place in the economy of TL as the given SL category occupies in the SL.
A Textual Equivalent is any TL text or portion of text which is to be equivalent of a given SL text or portion of text.The small linguistic changes that occur between ST and TT are known as translation shifts.A level shit would be something which is expressed by grammar in one language and lexis in another.These shifts are from one part of speech to another.
When a SL item is translated with TL item which belongs to a different class. A verb may be translated as a noun.

Techniques in Translation
1. Computer assisted
2. Machine translation
3. Subtitling
4. editing/Post editing
1. COMPUTER-ASSISTED
Computer-assisted translations also called 'computer-aided translation or machine-aided human translation. It is a form of translation wherein human translator creates a target text with the assistance of a computer program. The machine supports a human translator.
What is Computer Aided Translation?
Computer aided translation (also called computer assisted translation) is a system in which a human translator uses a computer in the translation process.
Humans and computers each have their strengths and weaknesses. The idea of computer aided translation (CAT) software is to make the most of the strengths of people and computers.
Translation performed solely by computers ("machine translation") has very poor quality. Meanwhile, no human can translate as fast as a computer can. By using a CAT tool, however, you can gain some of the speed, consistency, and memory benefits of the computer, without sacrificing the high quality of human translation.
Translation Skills: Theory and practice
The theoretical base should include general information regarding the translator's workshop and the issues one should be familiar with.
*Internet
It is worth discussing is the role of the internet as a source of information. It is important to use the translations which have been on the market for some time and are recognized by other people. This is where the internet becomes very useful for it allows us to search forgiven information (google.com, yahoo.com, altavista.com, etc.), use online dictionaries and corpora, or compare different language versions of the same site (Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia and the ability to switch from different languages defining a given notion-www.wikipedia.org). Google itself is a powerful tool since it allows us not only to search for information on webpages but also it indexes*.doc and *pdf files stored on servers, allowing us to browse through their contents in search for a context.
*Software
A successful translator needs to know how to handle various computer applications in his/her work. That's why basic software used to compress and decompress files should be mentioned (WinZip, WinRAR). PDF and multimedia files readers (images, audio). Last, the use of different word processors, are usually the first application that leads people using a computer for their work. This comprises of spell checking, standard layouts, ability to have some characters appear in bold print, italics, or underlined. We can save documents, so it can be used again, and we can print the documents.
It is important to mention CAT tool, how the

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

C.nord before translating
1. Translation-oriented text analysis
Christiane Nord
Text Analysis in Translation (1988/91)
Translating as a Purposeful Activity (1997)
FLUP - Elena Zagar GalvãoFLUP - Elena Zagar Galvão
2. Two basic types
of translation product
DOCUMENTARY TRANSLATION
It ‘serves as a document of a source culture
communication between the author and the
source text (ST) recipient’
e.g., literary translation, word-for-word or literal
translations (business contracts, certificates)
‘foreignizing’ or ‘exoticizing’ translations, etc.
FLUP - Elena Zagar GalvãoFLUP - Elena Zagar Galvão
3. INSTRUMENTAL TRANSLATION
It ‘serves as an independent message-transmitting
instrument in a new communicative action in the
target culture, and is intended to fulfil its
communicative purpose without the recipient being
conscious of reading or hearing a text which, in a
different form, was used before in a different
communicative situation.’
e.g., ‘function-preserving translations’ (software
manual) or ‘function-changing translations’
(translation of Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels for children
FLUP - Elena Zagar GalvãoFLUP - Elena Zagar Galvão
4. Nord highlights 3 important aspects:
1. the importance of the translation
commission (or ‘translation brief’) (cf.
Holz-Mänttäri, Vermeer)
2. the importance of text analysis
3. the functional hierarchy or translation
problems
FLUP - Elena Zagar GalvãoFLUP - Elena Zagar Galvão
5. 1. The translation commission
The translator (T) must always keep in
mind the client’s request/guidelines etc.
T must compare the ST and TT profiles as
defined in the commission and see
where they may be different.
FLUP - Elena Zagar GalvãoFLUP - Elena Zagar Galvão
6. The translation commission should specify
(for both ST and TT) (these factors are
external in relation to the text)
• Intended text functions
• Sender
• Recipient
• Time and place of text reception
• Medium (oral / written)
• Motive (why the ST was written and why it
is being translated)
FLUP - Elena Zagar GalvãoFLUP - Elena Zagar Galvão
7. 2. TEXT ANALYSIS
Nord’s list of intratextual factors is a possible model for
analysing the ST.
• Subject matter (tema)
• Content (conteúdo)
• Presuppositions (pressupostos): real-world factors of the
communicative situation presumed to be known to the
participants
• Composition (estrutura)
• Non-verbal elements (illustrations, italics) (aspectos não-
verbais)
• Lexic (incl. register, specific terminology) (léxico)
• Sentence structure (sintaxe)
FLUP - Elena Zagar GalvãoFLUP - Elena Zagar Galvão
8. 3. The functional hierarchy of translation
problems
When undertaking a translation, it is important to
establish a functional hierarchy.
1. Decide intended function of translation
(documentary or instrumental)
2. Determine elements that will need to be
adapted to the TT addressee’s situation (after
analysis of trans.commission)
3. Decide translation style (SC or TC oriented)
based on translation type
4. Deal with problems presented by text at lower
linguistic level (as in ST analysis)
