Abstract
EU institutions do not require any formal training or a degree in translation for translation positions, which is a challenge for viability and sustainability of translation studies programmes. The aim of this paper is to assess the translation competence of students of TS (Translation Studies) vs. students of TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), using the assessment criteria applied during the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) selection procedure to see if formal training has an effect on the outcome of the translation test, and what effect that may be. In order to make an assessment of the translation competence we have used a standard sample text for computer-based translation from English into Croatian and administered it in controlled conditions, matching those during EPSO competition in terms of length of text, duration, and access to reference materials. We have had two independent evaluators assess the translation using standard evaluation criteria. We have also carried out an error analysis to identify the types of errors found and translation strategies used. Furthermore, we have correlated the results with students’ BA grade-point average. Finally, based on the results obtained we have made a case for a better recognition of the translation profession.
Abstract (croatian)
Institucije Europske unije za pozicije prevoditelja ne zahtijevaju nikakvu formalnu obuku ili diplomu iz prevođenja, dovodeći u pitanje održivost studijskih programa prevođenja. Cilj ovog rada analizirati je prijevodnu kompetenciju studenata prevoditeljskog smjera i studenata nastavničkog smjera koristeći kriterije ocjenjivanja koji se primjenjuju tijekom selekcijskog postupka Europskog ureda za odabir osoblja (EPSO) kako bi se vidjelo ima li formalna obuka utjecaja na rezultate testa iz prevođenja i kakav bi to utjecaj mogao biti. Kako bismo analizirali prijevodnu kompetenciju, koristili smo standardni primjerak ispita za računalno prevođenje s engleskog jezika na hrvatski te smo testiranje izvršili pod kontroliranim uvjetima, poput onih tijekom natječaja EPSO-a, u pogledu dužine teksta, trajanja i pristupa referentnim materijalima. Dva neovisna ocjenjivača ocjenjivala su prijevode prema standardnim kriterijima ocjenjivanja. Izvršili smo analizu grešaka kako bismo identificirali vrste grešaka i korištene prijevodne strategije. Nadalje, usporedili smo rezultate studenata s njihovom prosječnom ocjenom preddiplomskog studija. U konačnici, na temelju dobivenih rezultata, zauzeli smo se za bolji položaj prevoditeljske profesije.
