W niniejszym artykule próbuję zdefiniować działanie tłumacza jako zakres czynności znacznie szerszy niż przetwarzanie językowe, obejmujący interakcje z klientami, czynności administracyjne i finansowe, poszukiwanie materiałów, reklamę oraz samokształcenie. Samokształcenie z jednej strony dotyczy wszystkich działań tłumacza, ale z drugiej należy je rozumieć jako zjawisko metapoznawcze, przejaw refleksji tłumacza nad własną działalnością, które samo w sobie podlega doskonaleniu. Artykuł opiera się na badaniu ankietowym przeprowadzonym wśród tłumaczy, które potwierdziło powszechność samokształcenia oraz przydatność strategii samokształcenia w życiu zawodowym. Celem artykułu jest rozważenie celowości i sposobów przygotowania adeptów studiów tłumaczeniowych do praktyk samokształceniowych.

This paper is aimed to define the translation activity as a range of actions much wider than just language processing. It includes interactions with clients, financial and office management, research, advertising and learning. Learning itself applies to all the translator’s actions, but it also should be seen as a metacognitive mechanism, and a manifestation of the translator’s self‑‑ reflection, which also can be improved. This paper uses the results of a research conducted with translators of Spanish, which proved the existence of self‑‑ learning practices among translators and the utility of self‑‑ learning strategies in their professional life. Thus, the aim of this paper is to consider the methods of training the translation students to use self‑‑ learning strategies.

Una certa conoscenza dell'ambito giuridico è generalmente considerato un requisito essenziale per poter tradurre testi giuridici. Il presente articolo mette in discussione questo principio presentando un caso di studio che ha coinvolto studenti iscritti ad un corso di laurea triennale in traduzione. Durante l'anno accademico, i partecipanti hanno ricevuto formazione in linguistica computazionale e nella consultazione di corpora per finalità traduttive. Alla fine dell'a.a., hanno tradotto un testo giuridico di 130 parole senza tuttavia aver ricevuto formazione in ambito legale. Al fine di svolgere le traduzioni assegnate, si sono avvalsi di un corpus offline pre-compilato e di dizionari online bilingue. L'articolo evidenzia come la conoscenza dell'ambito giuridico avrebbe certamente aiutato gli studenti nella scelta dei traducenti e nell'ovviare a traduzioni inesatte. Tuttavia, l'articolo evidenzia come la maggior parte delle imprecisioni commesse riguardano una inefficace consultazione del corpus e dei dizionari. Ad esempio, le espressioni formulaiche e collocazioni presenti nel corpus sono state trascurate. Alla luce dei risultati conseguiti, è possibile supporre che nella pratica e formazione traduttiva una consultazione efficace dei corpora specialistici possa aiutare nel processo traduttivo. Se i testi sono brevi, inoltre, si potrebbe ipotizzare che esperienza nel settore legale non sia strettamente necessaria.

It is generally assumed that a good knowledge of the legal field is a prerequisite to deliver legal translations. This paper will challenge this assumption by presenting a case study with third-year bachelor's students who participated in a translation project. The students, enrolled in a course in translation practice, were trained in corpus consultation at the beginning of the academic year. Nearly at the end, they translated an extract of a supply contract without being trained in the legal field. They consulted a pre-compiled offline corpus and online bilingual dictionaries. The paper findings highlight that knowledge of the legal field would have certainly helped the students make more informed decisions and avoid some mistranslations. However, the major shortcomings were actually due to ineffective corpus or dictionary consultation. In particular, formulaic expressions and collocations were neglected. In light of the paper findings, it can be speculated that in translation training, effective corpus consultation may help users deliver high-quality legal translations. It also seemed that thorough knowledge of the legal field is not a prerequisite, at least as far as short texts are concerned.
