We studied the capability of automated machine translation in the online video education space by automatically translating Khan Academy videos with state-of-the-art translation models and applying text-to-speech synthesis and audio/video synchronization to build engaging videos in target languages. We also analyzed and established two reliable…

In the last two decades, computational thinking has gained wide relevance in international educational systems. The inclusion of this new type of thinking poses educational challenges with some underlying research questions that need to be answered to meet these challenges with quality. Thus, this study focuses on analyzing the difficulties that…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral component of human existence, with individuals employing AI tools in various facets of life. Among the most significant applications of AI is its role in facilitating communication among humans. The present study focuses on the use of AI in translating a crucial type of text that falls within the…

The present study aimed to develop an analytic assessment rubric for the consecutive interpreting course in the educational setting in the Iranian academic context. To this end, the general procedure of rubric development, including data preparation, selection, and refinement, was applied. The performance criteria were categorized into content,…

Although the idea of translation psychology dates from the 1970s, it is still a rather neglected branch of translation studies. The purpose of this study is to describe the relations of translators' implicit theories of translation to goal orientation, self-efficacy and self-regulation. The sample consisted of 125 adults (of at least 18 years old)…

In the field of translation studies, while re-narration is commonly observed in translated works, there is a noticeable lack of research focusing on re-narration specifically within wenyan translations. Addressing this gap, this study aims to investigate how re-narration occurs in wenyan translation through the framing strategies employed by…

This research project is set in a Pakistani undergraduate translation studies class. Pakistan is an ex-British colony where English is taught in a linguistic neo-imperial context. Teachers often endeavor to lessen the palpable struggle of students by introducing activities that put less emphasis on grammatical correctness and more on fostering…

Technological advances have made the ability to translate no longer exclusively belong to humans. Today, machine translation has turned into a tool with superior performance to convert text between languages without the need for human intervention. One of the translation research foci is the studies of causative translation, especially from…

Purpose: The number of universities offering Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) in China has increased to 316 in 15 years. This paper aims to take a closer look at the production patterns of experimental report theses in terms of total number, distribution across universities, supervision model and research content, reflects on the…

Filmmakers increasingly resort to using multiple languages in their work to realistically reflect today's globalised world. However, this multiplicity poses specific challenges in the process of translation for dubbing. This study explores the rendition of Western multilingual films into Persian dubbed versions for the Iranian audience. Films as…

This paper explores the development of an intelligent translation system for spoken English using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models. The fundamental principles of RNNs and their advantages in processing sequential data, particularly in handling time-dependent natural language data, are discussed. The methodology for constructing the…

In the fall of 2020, McGill University (Montreal, Canada) launched a graduate diploma that focused on legal translation. The Graduate Diploma in Legal Translation (GDLT) aims to train the next generation of legal translators and jurilinguists in Canada. One of the main pillars of the GDLT is the formal and comprehensive interdisciplinary approach…

This study explores the perceptions of second language (L2) educators on the surge of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, and their potential impact on language education. We surveyed over 100 L2 instructors, asking questions about their ideas for AI-proofing assignments, their policies, and their perceptions of how this tool will impact…

Expressions of impossibility refer to events that can never or rarely happen, tasks that are difficult or impossible to perform, people or things that are of no use and things that are impossible to find.
