user study, use of language resources and translation tools, translating collocations, Collocations Dictionary of Modern Slovene, raising awareness of trainee translatorsAbstract
The article presents a user study conducted with trainee translators from the University of Ljubljana on their use of language resources and translation tools. In the digital age, future translators are expected to be tech savvy and well-informed about the relevant sources of information. A survey was designed therefore to explore trainee translators’ attitude towards English and Slovene language resources and their strategies to overcome translation challenges, while a follow-up study focuses on the translation process when translating collocations from English to Slovene and their use of relevant language resources, especially the Collocations Dictionary of Modern Slovene. The results of the study indicate that the trainee translators are aware of the benefits that relevant language resources and other translation tools bring to the translation process. The study also revealed that introducing the Collocations Dictionary of Modern Slovene into the translation process has been fairly successful. However, additional emphasis should be placed in translator training on the advanced features this collocations dictionary offers as well as on developing appropriate search skills. Moreover, trainee translators’ critical assessment of the solutions should also be encouraged to facilitate finding translation solutions best suited to a given context.
