ICT development, together with innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning, along with translation market needs, has led to significant and constant progress in translation technologies. The innovations that are emerging in this intelligent age where technologies learn automatically lead to a new generation of computer-assisted translation systems: knowledge-assisted translation (do Carmo et al., 2016: 149). We offer an analysis of the current tasks in each project process in a CAT and a knowledge environment. This paper begins with the concept of the translator's workstation and then details its different phases according to the standard that regulates translation service providers. We conclude with the central tasks that will be optimized by intelligent technologies, which will create a more knowledge-driven workflow.

La variación terminológica constituye un problema de traducción frecuente que se da a nivel intralingüístico, por la existencia de distintos términos para referirse al mismo concepto, como a nivel interlingüístico, por la existencia de distintos equivalentes de traducción para un mismo término. En este artículo se presenta una propuesta para desarrollar la competencia sobre variación terminológica en estudiantes de traducción e interpretación en el marco de un proyecto de colaboración entre universidades. El encargo consistió en documentar la base de datos VariMed, que contiene variantes denominativas de enfermedades en español e inglés, con las variantes empleadas en el español de Chile. Se planteó un escenario de enseñanza-aprendizaje colaborativo y situado, donde se simuló un entorno profesional basado en un encargo real. A través del trabajo los estudiantes aprendieron la metodología del trabajo terminológico puntual; y desarrollaron conocimiento teórico y práctico sobre la variación terminológica y su gestión en la traducción. Como resultado del trabajo, los estudiantes elaboraron 1.170 fichas, 360 con variantes no registradas en VariMed. La propuesta didáctica se evaluó mediante una encuesta y un informe autoevaluativo. Los estudiantes encontraron mayores dificultades en la compilación de un corpus médico del español chileno, la identificación de variantes terminológicas y la validación con expertos. Por otro lado, los estudiantes reconocieron la utilidad del trabajo para su formación como traductores/intérpretes y valoraron muy positivamente su carácter situado, especialmente la colaboración científica entre universidades.

Language disciplines, including Terminology and Specialized Translation, have made great strides after the second half of the twentieth century. This development, related to technological growth and international communication that occurred during this period, has resulted in a considerable increase of concepts. Thus, experts have become more and more aware of the importance of naming these new concepts. Specialized translators were among the first language professionals to recognize the need of mastering the terminology of specialized fields in order to perform their duties well (Antia et coll., 2005). In this work, we study the very close relationship between Terminology and Specialized Translation. We also study the theoretical and practical knowledge of Terminology that a specialized translator should have.

The production of terminology dictionaries including Galician as a working language has undergone significant development since 1980. Recent Galician terminographic work, generated within the linguistic normalization process, has been analyzed in publications in which this fact is related to language planning (e.g.Rodríguez Río 1996; Galanes 2003). Meanwhile, theoretical changes have occurred in terminology science, especially since Cabré 1999a, incorporating a social and communicative perspective into the treatment of terminological units. These innovations are being reflected in current applied work on terminology, especially with regard to how the relationship between terms and concepts is formulated (synonymy, polysemy, etc.), variation in terms and concepts, and the choice of sources of terminology, which are now corpus-based. The time has come for a re-evaluation of Galician terminography work in the light of these new developments, taking into account the new communicative perspective and aiming at interlingual mediation, with special attention to the quality of dictionaries. For this purpose, we have designed an evaluation system based on international indicators (Pointer 1995), communicatively oriented methods and the latest international standards (ISO) on terminographic work. The results findings of this study will affect the design of such workin the future.

El traductor está constantemente rodeado de fuentes de información que necesita para su trabajo diario, por lo que es necesario que el estudiante de traducción o el traductor novel adquiera las habilidades y los conocimientos necesarios para buscar, seleccionar y evaluar la información y los recursos más adecuados a fin de alcanzar los mejores resultados en su producto final. Este trabajo pretende ofrecer un modelo de evaluación basado en una plantilla completa y fácil de manejar para evaluar recursos terminológicos en línea, que permita al traductor lego aprender a seleccionar los recursos más adecuados y fiables. Además de presentar la plantilla de evaluación y sus diferentes indicadores, en este trabajo se proporciona un ejemplo de aplicación con dos recursos terminológicos de diferente calidad, así como una revisión de las principales características de la competencia documental.

A Terminology course for Translation students must deal with the role of terminology in the translation process from both a theoretical and practical perspective. The objective of such a course is not to train translators as terminologists or documentation professionals, but rather as language mediators whose job is to facilitate interlinguistic communication. Translation students should thus learn how to carry out descriptive terminological work oriented towards producing a suitable target text. This means developing specific strategies as well as learning how to use available resources with a view to producing optimal translations. In this context, a truly effective Terminology course program must be adapted to fit new professional profiles. Such a program would target terminology management against the backdrop of specialized language translation. The specific characteristics of the translation process are what determine the type of terminological competence required.

When transmitting scientific knowledge, authors weave a web of intellectual affinities through the works they cite that portrays trends and developments in research in their discipline. In the present article, we aim to establish an intellectual panorama of Terminology in which we depict the outstanding developments in research and the most influential authors. To do so, we analyze periodical publications that have appeared over a wide period of time. Author Citation Analysis (ACA) and the visual representation of the relationships between authors through social networks (specifically, pathfinder networks) is based on the premise that links are necessarily established between the authors cited in any specific work so that greater frequency of co-ocurrence indicates a stronger affinity between authors. Among other findings, our results show that the group of most frequently cited authors represents less than 1% of the total and that only 12% of authors have published three or more articles. Moreover, we can confirm that research in Terminology is developing in three clearly differentiated directions: theoretical foundations, Natural Language Processing and Socioterminology. , Lorsqu’ils transmettent des connaissances, les auteurs tissent souvent un réseau d’affinités intellectuelles par le biais des travaux qu’ils citent. Ce réseau offre un portrait des grands courants et de l’évolution de leur discipline. Le présent article a pour but de dresser un panorama du domaine de la terminologie en insistant sur ses développements et ses auteurs les plus influents. Pour ce faire, nous nous fondons sur les articles parus dans les périodiques du domaine, sur une période assez longue. L’analyse des citations et la représentation visuelle des relations entre les auteurs par le biais des réseaux sociaux postule que les citations établissent des liens entre les auteurs. Ainsi plus leur fréquence est élevée, plus les affinités entre ces auteurs seront fortes. Notre étude montre par ailleurs que le groupe des auteurs les plus cités représente moins de 1 % du nombre total et que seulement 12 % des auteurs ont publié trois articles ou plus. Enfin, cet article confirme que la terminologie, en tant que champ de recherche, se développe selon trois orientations bien distinctes : les fondements théoriques, le traitement des langues naturelles et la socioterminologie.

This article proposes revising the evolution of Terminology as a discipline from the perspective of theory, as well as offering a description of the various current trends in theory. It establishes the difference between the theoretical aspects in the discipline and the methodological aspects which allow them to be put into practice in other disciplines such as translation. The conclusion offers convincing arguments concerning the relevance of terminology training for translators.

AbstractOccidental philosophy has been for centuries implicated in the way languages refer to the world. Ontologies are the result of the thought applied to the existence of things. Nowadays, ontologies represent entities handled by companies, such as products, processes, and so on. They are more and more involved in data processing. Actually, one of the aims of ontology treatment is to make sure that a designation corresponds to a concept and that both –concept and designation– refer to a well specified object. Logic as science of well formulated propositions is also involved in such data modeling.
