Course description

This course is structured into modules designed to equip students with the essential skills and practical experience needed to translate a diverse range of genres, including news, business, science and technology, law, and literature. Each module combines hands-on training with cutting-edge AI tools to enhance the translation process, ensuring students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise. Students will develop a deep understanding of English source texts, learning to analyse complex sentence structures and identify key differences between English and Chinese grammar. Students will also explore how machine translation and AI tools can assist in navigating linguistic challenges, while understanding where human translators can apply their experiences, emotions, and cultural insights to improve the cultural appropriateness, stylistic precision, and emotional expression of complex translation tasks.

The Summer Semester external course offering may be cancelled unless a minimum of 20 students enrol.
