Practical 15

We reviewed students’ translations of the letter, with a strong focus on transforming the text as much as possible to highlight the process of localization. The text was adapted extensively to sound natural in more formal Portuguese.

Students then received their final practical of the semester. Practical 15 required them to translate mini-sagas. The challenge was to preserve the irony, style, tone, and plot twist of each story while ensuring that the translation contained exactly 50 words. Creative adaptation was encouraged when necessary.

Practical 14

We finished the instruction manual by reviewing what had been assigned for homework. We then moved on to Practical 14, which involves localizing a cover letter written by a recent graduate applying for a job.

Students were asked to adapt the provided source text into Portuguese, not only linguistically but also culturally and contextually. The aim is to ensure the final version aligns with Portuguese cultural and professional norms, resulting in a document that feels natural and appropriate for its intended audience, which in this case is a Human Resources Hiring Manager in Portugal.
