Research output : Book/Report › Book

In recent years, scholarship on translation has moved well beyond the technicalities of converting one language into another and beyond conventional translation theory. With new technologies blurring distinctions between "the original" and its reproductions, and with globalization redefining national and cultural boundaries, "translation" is now emerging as a reformulated subject of lively, interdisciplinary debate. Nation, Language, and the Ethics of Translation enters the heart of this debate. It covers an exceptional range of topics, from simultaneous translation to legal theory, from the language of exile to the language of new nations, from the press to the cinema; and cultures and languages from contemporary Bengal to ancient Japan, from translations of Homer to the work of Don DeLillo. All twenty-two essays, by leading voices including Gayatri Spivak and the late Edward Said, are provocative and persuasive. The book's four sections--"Translation as Medium and across Media," "The Ethics of Translation," "Translation and Difference," and "Beyond the Nation"--together provide a comprehensive view of current thinking on nationality and translation, one that will be widely consulted for years to come. The contributors are Jonathan E. Abel, Emily Apter, Sandra Bermann, Vilashini Cooppan, Stanley Corngold, David Damrosch, Robert Eaglestone, Stathis Gourgouris, Pierre Legrand, Jacques Lezra, Françoise Lionnet, Sylvia Molloy, Yopie Prins, Edward Said, Azade Seyhan, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Henry Staten, Lawrence Venuti, Lynn Visson, Gauri Viswanathan, Samuel Weber, and Michael Wood.

Translation Ethics introduces the topic of ethics for students, researchers, and professional translators. Based on a successful course and written by an experienced instructor, the Introduction and nine core chapters offer an accessible examination of a wide range of interlocking topic areas, which combine to form a cohesive whole, guiding students through the key debates.

Built upon a theoretical background founded in philosophy and moral theory, it outlines the main contributions in the area and traces the development of thought on ethics from absolutism to relativism, or, from staunchly-argued textual viewpoints to current lines of thought placing the translator as agent and an active – even interventionary – mediator. The textbook then examines the place of ethical enquiry in the context of professional translation, critiquing provision such as codes of ethics. Each chapter includes key discussion points, suggested topics for essays, presentations, or in-class debates, and an array of contextualised examples and case studies. Additional resources, including videos, weblinks, online activities, and PowerPoint slide presentations on the Routledge Translation studies portal provide valuable extra pedagogical support.

This wide-ranging and accessible textbook has been carefully designed to be key reading for a wide range of courses, including distance-learning courses, from translation and interpreting ethics to translation theory and practice.

The metaphor of the translation ecosystem originates from situational models of translation that conceptualise the translation process as a complex system. This includes not only the translator, but also other people—cooperation partners such as clients, project managers, proof-readers or co-translators—their specific social and physical environments as well as their cultural artefacts (Risku, Translationsmanagement. Interkulturelle fachkommunikation im kommunikationszeitalter. Narr, Tübingen, p 19, 2004). These artefacts, understood as objects made or used by humans for a particular purpose, have a high relevance for the translation process and for the translator’s cognition. The artefact group of translation technology includes, among others, tools for terminology and project management, translation memory (TM) systems, alignment software and machine translation (MT) systems (Krüger, Lebende Sprachen 61(2):297–332, 2016a). From the perspective of ecosystemic theories of translation, we are able to include situational factors which are external and internal to the translator and provide a holistic means for the analysis of translation performance. In this respect, the ethics of machine translation post-editing (MTPE) poses a question of central importance, a question that can be addressed from the stance of the ecosystem metaphor.

MTPE as an object of study is directly linked to the different developments in MT over time. During the first years of MT, it was largely empirical and focused on MT usability and comprehensibility, with a view to further developing the technology. Eventually, when MT reached a maturity, research interests concentrated on the practicalities of MTPE, with case studies and best practice examples (Garcia, Anglo Saxonica 3(3):291–308, 2012). With the latest developments in neural MT, MTPE is in a “state of terminological flux” (Vieira, The Routledge handbook of translation and technology. Routledge, London, p 320, 2019), comprising different, yet complementary, tasks and procedures: as a separate service with its own international standard, a dynamic activity that goes beyond the static cleaning of MT outputs, and a task associated by default with lower quality expectations. The instability of MTPE as a concept leads to the discussion of human agency in the MTPE process, and the exploration of the extent to which translators are able to intervene in the use of MT in MTPE. Furthermore, the analysis of the different degrees of human control triggers diverse issues in the ethics of MTPE. This chapter explores such issues in the light of the translation ecosystem, analysing three specific ethical dilemmas: (a) Dilemma #1: the post-editor’s status; (b) Dilemma #2: the post-editor’s commitment to quality; and (c) Dilemma #3: digital ethics and the post-editor’s responsibility. Rather than offering a set of closed conclusions, the chapter should be read as an invitation to the reader to think about key ethical elements and the way MTPE is affecting the translator’s work.

Editing Actions: A Missing Link Between Translation Process Research and Machine Translation Research

Outline for a Relevance Theoretical Model of Machine Translation Post-editing

Translation Quality, Quality Management and Agency: Principles and Practice in the European Union Institutions

Adaptive MT allows an MT system to learn from corrections on the fly, as the post-editor makes them.

As we will see later when discussing dilemma #2, the question of which quality is to be delivered in MTPE raises some important concerns in ethical terms.

Our account is necessarily brief as we understand that the reader is already familiar with MTPE. For a thorough review into the matter see, for example, Koponen et al. ( 2021 ).

In the cologne model, LSP stands for language for specific purposes (Krüger 2016b , p. 118).

The creation phase can be related to the concept of pre-editing. In this connection see, for instance, Guerberof ( 2019 ).

The aim of light post-editing is to make the text comprehensible by making as few changes as possible, while full post-editing is performed on texts that require higher quality (Allen 2001 ).

“Capital is a resource that social agents invest in and exchange to locate themselves in the social spaces and hierarchies. In addition to economic capital […], social agents possess other forms of capital, i.e. cultural capital (this includes upbringing and educational background), social capital (e.g. personal connections with persons of certain social standings) and symbolic capital (which confers legitimacy and prestige to the person in the form of, for example, professional titles)” (Sakamoto 2019 , p. 202).
