Students were asked to translate a more technical text that focused on batteries and their use – focusing on safety guidelines. We then looked at a recipe focusing on some of the ingredients that don’t exist in the Portuguese market and making a slight adaptation.
Practical 6 - Idiomatic Translation
24 Outubro 2023, 11:00 • Rui Vitorino Azevedo
Students were asked to translate the script from the video game Until Dawn. For this specific oral ST, I asked them to come up with an idiomatic translation where the target text reflects the exact message of the source text in a manner that is naturally expressed in the target language. They had to discuss the strategic decisions they had to take in so doing and remember that much like film subtitles, their intention was to produce a TT for silent reading. We looked at the video where the script was taken from and then students started working on the translation in pairs/groups.
