The class began with a comprehensive review of students’ in-depth analyses of the VisitScotland website using the template provided, which was based on Nord’s TOSTA model. Particular attention was given to translating specific cultural aspects, as these elements proved somewhat challenging for students.

Website Translation Analysis and TOSTA Model
6 Março 2026, 15:30 • Rui Vitorino Azevedo
We turned to Nord’s TOSTA model, briefly discussing the extratextual and intratextual factors she outlines, as well as the skopos or purpose of translations and how this shapes the method chosen by the translator. I introduced a table/template for in-depth source text analysis, which students will now be expected to use for practical exercises. For this session’s exercise, students worked with an excerpt from the VisitScotland website (focusing on the Highlands). They read the text, explored the website, and began collaborating on the ST analysis using the template. We will review their work in the next class.

Refining Translation Choices

The class continued with students’ revision of the short story translation, focusing on analyzing their specific translation choices and making adjustments to ensure closer alignment with their chosen method(s). We focused on the specific parts of the story where students had the most difficulty in translating and applying/examining the procedures they used.
