Universities discover collaborative translation
As the commercial translation industry moves toward collaborative translation technology and platforms like Wordbee, universities are doing the same. Teachers and students engage the learning cycle more efficiently, while using the translation technologies driving the future of the industry.
Teachers can see student progress and access translations in progress real-time. % complete statistics are available for all workflow steps in Wordbee at the segment level allowing teachers to evaluate the student’s work while it’s in progress.
Instant feedback. Professors can follow their students’ work in progress, leave notes, recommendations, instructions, and even suggest corrections.
Students no longer need to have expensive software installed on their computer. Instead, your students simply login to their university account and translate online. They don’t need to worry about licensing.
Students can collaborate on projects, accessing project documents simultaneously, leaving comments and bookmarks.
Centralized linguistic resources such as glossaries and translation memories are used and maintained by the students in real-time.
Previous student translations can be used to make new translations easier, imitating the real translation industry and getting students accustomed to real translation work.
Crowd translation means assigning translations to a group instead of to a single translator. For group translation assignments, students get to use a truly professional tool that helps them better understand the translation lifecycle.
