Teaching Computer-assisted Translation: A Proposal for Course Content

With wider adoption of machine translation and its integration in the standard translation workflow, the job of translator developed into various forms - post-editors, revisers, translators, proof-readers, etc. In this paper we argue for the inclusion of the post-editing, pre-editing, and machine translation content into the course on computer-assisted translation and give proposal for the course content. We also argue for the inclusion of added value services such as subtitling and localization. The course should be mandatory for all the graduate students studying a language. The content is influenced by the experiences gained from teaching a similar elective graduate-level course.
