It is part of the LeMaTTT project, a simulated longitudinal empirical study exploring the impact of MT on info-mining and thematic…

Legal translators are routinely faced with defective source texts in their professional practice while being expected to produce effective translations despite such quality issues. Given the high-quality expectations required in legal translation, we have brought this professional reality into the classroom by outlining a quality control activity…
