A research project was designed to identify and analyze the issues which are involved in guaranteeing the equal protection of the law in Canada with respect to the right to be informed of the right to counsel upon detention or arrest and the right to the assistance of an interpreter in legal proceedings in the case of non-native speakers of English. A comparative, multidisciplinary study design allowed the differences among social science views, practitioners' commonsensical knowledge, and legal viewpoints as expressed in reported judgements to be identified. Each of the three sources of viewpoints on cross-cultural interrogation and courtroom interaction was examined with a view to determining the range of phenomena recognized. The study did not attempt to evaluate the social science studies on their own terms, measure the distribution of commonsense knowledge among practitioners, or determine the state of the law on any particular point. The goal was rather to compare the breadth of the legal system's vision with that of social scientists and practitioners, in order to determine whether there will be a need to supplement the court's view. The results suggested that court interpreters vary greatly in their overall competence, including language ability, and in their understanding of what their role is. Training and certification of court interpreters appears to be the only solution which will satisfy the constitutional guarantee of equal protection. Informing the suspect of his right to counsel presents substantial linguistic and cultural problems, only some of which are addressed by the courts. In legal proceedings, the right to the assistance of an interpreter raises fundamental questions concerning the point at which the right to an interpreter arises and how entitlement is to be determined. Practical solutions implied by the research include establishing a bilingual courtroom observer program to safeguard against inadequte interpretation going unnoticed; cautioning the suspect as to his right to counsel in his native language rather than in English, perhaps through audio tape recordings; and establishing a combination translation and legal advice center which could be contacted by calling a toll-free telephone number such as 800-ESL-HELP. / Education, Faculty of / Language and Literacy Education (LLED), Department of / Graduate

Orientador: Érika Nogueira de Andrade Stupiello / Banca: Angélica Karim Garcia Simão / Banca: Érica Luciene Alves de Lima / Resumo: Fundamentado em um estudo sobre o percurso histórico da automação da tradução, este trabalho apresenta uma análise de traduções realizadas por quatro tradutores profissionais a fim de observar desafios e benefícios nessa abordagem. Foi analisada a influência do gerenciamento de terminologia (BOWKER, 2015) no processo, buscando observar se a identificação e a tradução prévia dos termos colaboram com a qualidade e a produtividade. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da tradução de seis textos feita por quatro tradutores profissionais voluntários em três cenários diferentes (Cenário 1: utilizando somente processador de texto, Cenário 2: utilizando somente Lilt e Cenário 3: utilizando Lilt aliado ao gerenciamento de terminologia). A análise qualitativa das traduções nos três referidos cenários baseou-se em uma planilha de controle de qualidade à luz da concepção de qualidade para objetivos específicos (TAUS, 2017). Também se examinou a existência de diferenças de produtividade e qualidade a partir da análise contrastiva entre os cenários propostos, dos resultados da planilha e do tempo gasto na realização das traduções. Os resultados das análises indicaram que a abordagem Lilt, aliada à pós-edição humana e o gerenciamento de terminologia pode aumentar significativamente a produtividade e a qualidade das traduções especializadas, um indício da importância do uso de tecnologia como auxílio ao tradutor. Outros benefícios encontrados incluem a aplicabilidade em outras áreas de... / Abstract: Based on a study on the historical journey of the translation automation, we present an analysis of translations carried out by professional translators in order to observe challenges and benefits of this approach. The influence of terminology management in the process was also analyzed (BOWKER, 2015), seeking to observe whether the prior identification and translation of terms collaborate with quality and productivity. The research examined the translation of six texts completed by four voluntary professional translators in three different scenarios (Scenario 1: using only text processor, Scenario 2: using Lilt and Scenario 3: using Lilt combined with terminology management). The qualitative analysis of translations in the three scenarios was based on a quality control sheet in the light of the quality for specific purposes concept (TAUS, 2017). Finally, there was also a difference of productivity and quality from the contrasting analysis between the proposed scenarios, the spreadsheet results and the time spent to complete the translations. This research can open paths for improving translation processes involving adaptive MT mechanisms that have been not been fully exploited so far. The results of the analyses suggested that Lilt and human post-editing combined with terminology management approach can significantly increase productivity and quality of specialized translations, an indication of the importance of the use of technology as aid to translators.

It is the purpose of this thesis to show that literary interpretation and translation are closely interrelated, that the translator cannot pursue his goal, the transfer of a work of literature from one language into another, without interpreting that work as literature.
