“…Based on the literature review, the need for a more systematic approach of translation theories and localization process will be emphasized and the types of translation problems will be derived, referencing the PACTE Group's rich point model (Jääskeläinen & Lacruz, 2018). Using PACTE model, the pre-established prototypical translation problems can be identified.…”

“…Using PACTE model, the pre-established prototypical translation problems can be identified. According to Jääskeläinen and Lacruz (2018), the translation competency model is being used to test the problem indicators by using empirical research framework, through PACTE. This model helps translator trainers and the research community by providing valuable data.…”

“…As discussed in the previous section, the model is built upon the thread of interdependent problem indicators: the pre-translation mark-up of anticipated problems, concrete problem indicators evidenced in screen recordings, and errors in corresponding translations. This classification is based on product and process data (Jääskeläinen & Lacruz, 2018).…”

“…Knowing what are the most recurring problems in localization translation, the errors can be anticipated and dealt with beforehand. Jääskeläinen and Lacruz (2018) point out that this model should be supplemented with additional indicators (procedural indicators, performance indicators or perception indicators) to provide a more holistic view. According to their research, the common challenges that localization translation faces are the errors in different sub categories like bilingual extralinguistic instrumental and strategic know-how of translation.…”

“…The gaps can be identified by using triangulated data, which can be obtained through direct observation of behaviors, screen recording protocols, surveys for detecting the problems faced while translating, and through interviews. Rich points are grounded in the actual problems (screen recordings) and perceived problems (questionnaires and surveys) (Jääskeläinen & Lacruz, 2018). Also, it is essential to notice the importance of self-feedback for a professional translator and this model is suited for self-assessing the most common localization translation problems.…”

This study proposes an adaptive methodology to overcome localization translation challenges. The objective of the study is to generate a theoretical framework for identifying localization translation problems and ultimately propose a user-centred and agile-based methodology to minimize translation errors. The main research question that this paper attempts to answer is the question of “What would be the best theoretical framework for identifying current translation problems and addressing the convergence of translation and localization according to the new developments in informatics and communication technologies?” To answer this question, it was important to dismantle the notions of translation, translation theory, and localization. Based on the revised new definitions adapted to the new socio-technological context of the present digital era, the challenges can be identified and addressed through the formulation of a new methodology. The new methodology involves several steps, including the selection of recognized techniques like the “rich points” model to identify the localization translation challenges, a set of quality criteria to evaluate the projects, and adopting a user-centred approach and agile methodology for the project management of localization translation projects in order to assure the satisfaction of the stakeholders and a rapid adaptation to changes in the requirements. The proposed methodology must be validated in the future by applying it to concrete cases of localization translation projects and assessing its utility and performance. Thus, it would be useful in the future for improving localization translation projects.
