Se trata de errores que dan lugar a desviaciones de sentido, las cuales se dan cuando se usa una palabra en un contexto en el que se le atribuye un significado distinto o cuando se transgreden las restricciones semánticas (Agustín, 2011: 75).…”

La presente investigación se centra en la evaluación de la calidad lingüística en la localización de un corpus ad hoc paralelo español-inglés compuesto por sitios web corporativos de pymes exportadoras de la AEFJ (Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Juguetes). Para ello, se realiza el análisis contrastivo de textos originales (ES) y sus traducciones en las versiones localizadas (EN), enfocado en la adaptación de la dimensión lingüística de la sección “Productos”. Desde un enfoque comunicativo, se establece un sistema de evaluación según los criterios de clasificación de errores propios de textos multimodales. La metodología propuesta es de tipo descriptivo con un enfoque mixto, orientado a combinar el rigor del registro cuantitativo con el análisis cualitativo para explicar la realidad compleja objeto de estudio. Tras el diagnóstico de debilidades y fortalezas, los resultados evidencian el potencial impacto de la incidencia de errores en la calidad y recepción de la localización y sus implicaciones para la exportación.

“…To evaluate the presence of transcreation strategies in the leaflets, a set of indicators was developed from a review of scientific literature. Since there is still a lack of studies on the development of transcreation indicators, work on the development of localization indicators was taken as a reference [14]- [17], since localization consists on the adaptation of a multimedia product to different levels so that it can be used by an audience with linguistic and/or cultural differences from the one for which it was originally intended [18]. On the other hand, reference was also made to well-known works in the field of Translation and Interpreting [19] and language policy [20] which proposed indicators and definitions to evaluate translation quality from a linguistic and inclusive language point of view.…”

The affluence of migrant communities to Spain, with its linguistic and cultural particularities, has caused, among other phenomena, the rise of new communication needs. Social groups not speaking the majority language of a country need to have access to certain contents and information. So, it is necessary to promote the multilingual dissemination of that information. This is especially relevant in such a sensitive area as healthcare. Translation and interpreting, as disciplines and as professional practices, play a leading role in meeting the communication needs between healthcare professionals and migrant communities.The validation of the data determined which indicators were not relevant for evaluating transcreation in the sample, resulting in a final validated set of indicators. The statistical analysis of frequencies made it possible to quantitatively measure the values of each indicators, providing knowledge of the state of transcreation in the healthcare sector in Spain in the last decade. The study concluded that there has not been a clear evolution in this respect over time and that transcreation processes are not yet applied to translate and culturally adapt this type of material.

Phraseology as indicator for translation quality assessment of museum texts: A corpus-based analysis

Phraseological competence, although traditionally left somewhat in the background in research on translation quality assessment, refers to a high level of knowledge of a language, and is therefore worthy of greater attention. Some studies, which are exceptions to this neglect, suggest that the level of phraseological quality of a text is directly related to its overall quality. This paper assesses these 2 types of quality in 14 original and translated texts from a parallel electronic corpus from museums and art centers in the city of New York, the aim being to test whether there is a correlation between phraseological and overall quality. In absolute terms, the results of the phraseological assessment are usually seen to be better than those from the overall assessment. On comparing the two analyses, and despite generally negative results and a few notable exceptions, there is a tendency toward this correlation.
