“…Bernardini (2003) recommends using parallel corpora as a source for translation tasks, as they offer valuable insights into idiomatic expressions and the use of natural language. Beeby et al (2009) argue that corpora provide a wealth of text samples for learners to analyze and learn from, as they can address gaps in learners' knowledge. The present study's findings support these claims, as participants were able to improve their translation abilities by utilizing the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), consistent with the results of Zeitoun and Dakik's (2018) study on the positive impact of monolingual corpora on translation performance.…”

“…Hu (2016) states that "corpora have unique advantages over dictionaries and other references since they are equipped with automatic search function capable and thus conveniently used to retrieve large amounts of linguistic data" (p.22). Overall, the use of corpora in translator training can enhance the learning process and improve the performance of trainees (Alhassan et al, 2021;Alotaibi, 2017;Beeby et al, 2009;Bernardini, 2003;Hu, 2016;Zeitoun & Dakik, 2018).…”

This article presents a comprehensive study that delves into the untapped potential of incorporating monolingual corpora as a strategic tool within translator training to enhance trainees’ proficiency in the challenging domain of inverse translation from Arabic to English. By shedding light on the pedagogical promise of monolingual corpora in inverse translation instruction, this research underscores the critical need to integrate this tool into translator training curricula, thereby amplifying the translation competencies of trainees. The central research inquiry is as follows: How does using a monolingual corpus enhance the performance of students engaged in inverse translation of collocations from Arabic to English within the context of political and media texts? The researchers focused on two groups of female students specializing in political and media translation at the College of Language Sciences, King Saud University. These groups, a control and an experimental one, were meticulously trained with different references—while the control group relied on conventional bilingual dictionaries, the experimental group employed monolingual corpora as their primary translation references—the assessment criterion centered on translating a newspaper text. The noteworthy outcome of this comparative analysis was that the experimental group consistently outperformed their counterparts in the control group by leveraging monolingual corpora. The findings from this research offer precise guidance to enhance the efficiency of translation training programs. Moreover, the study equips translators with essential skills and competencies and elevates the quality of translation training programs.

“…The influence of recent digital media and tools is mostly acknowledged as far as either research or specialized translation are concerned, and we generally think about IT translation tools and software as being in connection with technical or scientific translation. However, the digital revolution has definitely made its way to Translation Studies (see, among others, Baker, 1993;Laviosa, 2002;Rosa, 2003), practice (Craciunescu, Gerding-Salas & Stringer-O'Keeffe, 2004;PACTE, 2011) and teaching (McEnery & Wilson, 2001;Beeby, Inés & Sánchez-Gijón, 2009). And, just like Translation Studies and specialized translation, on the one hand, and literature and Literary Studies, on the other hand, literary translation should not shun the development of digital media, tools and skills.…”

The digital reinvention of literary studies within literary translation teaching and research informs the PEnPAL in Trans project. This inter-institutional venture joins higher education agents and researchers in Translation Studies, Literary Studies and Linguistics. Elaborating on the notions of process-oriented education and “social constructivism” (Kiraly, 2000), PEnPAL in Trans has developed a specific awareness of the literary translator’s “expert action” (Jones, 2011). Drawing on a project-based philosophy of translation training, it envisions the translated anthology as a collaborative format with potential in the digital environment. The database on English-Portuguese transfer problems under development combines the advantages of translation manuals and example-driven tools as translation memories. Thus, it will constitute a categorized database of examples from hard-to-translate texts together with their translation(s) and translation strategy(ies). This database will be accessible online, thereby providing a public tool on the English-Portuguese language pair. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14195/2182-8830_4-1_4

“…Muchos otros autores que investigan sobre el uso de corpus por traductores, también sugieren y recomiendan que se incluyan en los currículos de los estudios de traducción la enseñanza de corpus, para que los traductores aprendan a utilizarlos eficazmente sobre todo en la traducción especializada (Aston 2000: 28;Bernardini et al 2003 Beeby et al (2009: 1) señalan que es durante su formación cuando los traductores disponen del tiempo suficiente para aprender a utilizar los corpus ya que los traductores profesionales siempre se encuentran bajo presión de plazos. Sánchez-Gijón (2009: 115) además indica que las habilidades de documentación…”
