Description

In this workshop focused on machine translation, we will give you suggestions for tackling every translator’s greatest challenge: reformulation. What can you change in your translations to make them sound more idiomatic? In addition to discussing various concepts, including concision and passive voice, we will encourage you to look critically at the output from your machine translation tools.
