This course focuses on developing students' translation skills. Through practice and exposure to theory, students will refine their understanding of the translation task, increase their ability to produce professional level translations, and explore ethical issues related to translation. Students will encounter and translate texts from a variety of knowledge domains, including medical, education, and legal. They will also be introduced to a variety of technologies used by professional translators, including CAT tools. In order to enroll in this course, students must have received a rating of Advanced High or higher on the American College Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) in their weaker language; advanced-mid is accepted on a case-by-case basis and requires a commitment to further study of the weaker language. Students must be able to write at least two languages fluently to complete this course. In rare cases, and with the consent of the program director, students who speak two or more languages fluently but only write fluently in English may be granted permission to substitute an independent study for this course in order to meet the requirements for the diploma. This exception is reserved for primarily oral languages for which there is a high demand for interpreters. Prerequisite(s): TRIN 1021, TRIN 1032, and TRIN 1033 with a grade of C or higher.
