“…In this particular example, the strategy of censorship could not be done by an MT. Moreover, the other text types such as poems and song lyrics, for instance, consisted of poetic languages which needed higher sensitivity level in providing meanings to the selected words (Handayani & Harto, 2015;Harto & Handayani, 2017), therefore, these may not be fully understood by translation machines (Vieira & Alonso, 2020). The text types and their indicators of quality (Schaler et al, 2003;in Quah, 2006) are presented in Figure 1.…”

Although post-editing of machine translation (PEMT) has been much discussed and spoken among students in higher education institutions, little empirical evidence has been reported regarding the students’ real practices in their academic life. To fill this practical gap, this article explores the students’ experiences in dealing with PEMT in a Theoretical Foundation of Translating and Interpreting (TFTI) course. This exploration elaborates practical insights into how the students initially started practicing translation through PEMT in their actual day-to-day practices. Fifty-eight English students studying in an undergraduate program in a prominent public university in Indonesia voluntarily participated in this qualitative case study. Data were collected from students’ focused-group discussion (FGD), survey questionnaire, in-depth interviews, and students’ documents and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings showed that post-editing process provides the students with experiences in building their text knowledge to enable them to have high awareness and sensitivity to the academic texts. In addition, in PEMT practices, the students’ experiences were explored through the implementation of translation methods and techniques expected to build their awareness in PEMT with regard to language structure and language function. These experiences have given some empirical inputs for the lecturers to design relevant tasks and apply various translating practices for students’ more meaningful learning.

“…These experts would upgrade the translators' knowledge needed to improve the quality of their translation works. The action taken by the translators was relevant to what is suggested by Handayani and Harto stating that in order to produce a quality translation, translators should be proficient to acquire relevant skills and competences to cope with their problems in translation [9]. Also, Russi and Schneider emphasize the importance of subject matter experts who are familiar with correct technical or scientific terminology and style in the target language to contribute to a final translation of the highest quality [10].…”

This research seeks to investigate an Indonesian translators' perspective in grabbing translation orders and managing the translation deadlines agreed by both translators and clients. Seven competent and experienced translators were purposively selected to participate in this descriptive qualitative research. Data were obtained from a survey questionnaire administered to identify and describe the translators' orders grabbed from various translation clients and to elaborate on how they managed their deadlines. Interviews were also done to confirm the information provided by the translators and to search for some additional information not explicitly explored in the survey questionnaire. The results indicated that the translation orders were grabbed from book publishers, translation agencies, offices, multinational companies, translators' colleagues, and individuals. The translators showed some initiatives to collaborate with other competent and experienced translators to manage their translation deadlines. In addition, in some cases, the translators need to hire consultants and experts in the relevant topics to share their expertise to the translators to improve the quality of their translation. Then, the translators considered the importance of employing editors to review the overall translation, and proofreaders were also required by the translators to proofread the final draft of the manuscripts before they were sent back to their clients.
