| Purpose: The purpose of this module is to introduce students to the specialised translation with specific reference to technical texts. Students are taught about the nature of technical language and provided with the knowledge of categorising technical texts and choosing the translation methods in translating these texts. Furthermore, students gain knowledge about the role played by technical language in raising the status of a language, as they are taught how translators should apply the principles of term formation when translating texts for specific purposes. Students also learn how to make technical texts more accessible. On completion of this module, students will be able to translate technical texts successfully.
