This article does not intend to present a theoretical discussion or framework for translation competence, as this topic has been sufficiently explored by other researchers and practitioners in the past. Lastly, it details the lessons learned in reflective practice based on the experience of teaching these modules. In addition, it describes a project-oriented module in which students actively participated, acquiring knowledge by managing an MT project guided by the trainer and thus learning by doing. This article presents a description of both the theoretical and practical contents of the PE training module, followed by a discussion of the challenges presented by teaching PE in a classroom. The Master’s Degree in Localisation from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) introduced the first MT and PE modules in 2009. In view of this feedback, some universities have implemented MTPE training as part of their curricula.
Introductionīecause of the increase in demand for MT post-editing (MTPE) services from translation clients in the last ten years, localisation agencies have communicated their desire to hire translators and interns with at least some basic technical knowledge in this area. Machine translation, post-editing, training, project-based learning, localisation, project management, translation technology, NMT, SMT, RBMT. Additionally, it describes the project-based learning approach implemented in one of the modules, which seeks to foster creative and independent thinking, teamwork, and problem solving in unfamiliar situations, with a view to acquiring transferable skills that are likely to be in demand, regardless of the technological advances taking place in the translation industry. It covers the objectives and structure of the modules, as well as the theoretical and practical components. This article presents a description of a machine translation (MT) and post-editing course (PE), along with an MT project management module, that have been introduced in the Localisation Master’s programme at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in 2009 and in 2017 respectively.
