ABSTRACT

Despite the growing importance of and interest in revision in the professional translation market, there is little systematic empirical research on revision in the field of translator training and education. This study aims to show and compare how two student groups with different levels of translation competence revise a draft translation (i.e., "other-revision") and to discuss the results of the comparative analysis from the perspective of translator training and education. For these purposes, 10 translation revisions by two groups of five undergraduate trainee translators (i.e., five students with high levels of translation competence; five students with lower levels of translation competence) were analyzed based on Baker's (2011) hierarchical views of language and translational equivalence. The results are shown both quantitatively and qualitatively, and a brief discussion is made on what implications the students' revisions may have for undergraduate translator training and education.
