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.
