Computer-Assisted Literary Translation Conference
11–13 May 2021 – Swansea, UK
Literary translators tend to resist using the systems which dominate the lives of most other professional translators: CAT tools, translation memories (TM), termbases, and machine translation systems (MT). However, in the last five years developments have taken place which suggest that there are pluses as well as minuses for literary translators in the use of different kinds of computer-assisted translation. These include CAT tools, corpus linguistics, natural language processing, text analysis and visualisation and in particular Neural Machine Translation (NMT). The conference will explore some of these developments and their actual and potential impact on literary translators and readers from both theoretical and empirical standpoints, with an emphasis on applications and illustrative case studies.
