El Periódico de Aragón: La teoría del traductor como creador puesta en práctica por PaneroLeopoldo María Panero ha construido desde principios de los años 70 una personalísima obra literaria, una de las más originales y contundentes de la poesía española contemporánea. Pero aparte de como poeta, su concepción de la literatura ha influido también en su labor como traductor, cuyos resultados a lo largo del tiempo acaba de recopilar la colección Visor en un volumen editado por el profesor de la Universidad de Zaragoza Túa Blesa, profundo conocedor de la escritura y la vida --en pocos casos una ha estado tan cerca de la otra-- del poeta. En las páginas que prologan la antología, el profesor Blesa explica bien cuáles son los postulados que sustentan la teoría de la traducción de Panero: para él, el traductor no ha de ser un mero trasvasador del texto de una lengua a otra de forma más o menos escrupulosa o eficiente, sino que su propia lectura ha de hacerse visible en el resultado final. De ahí que se hable más de versiones que de traducciones, y más de per-versiones que de versiones; de ahí que en todos los casos, el resultado sea un poema de Leopoldo María Panero.

LOCATING AND REDUCING TRANSLATION DIFFICULTY - D-Scholarship@PittThe challenge of translation varies from one sentence to another, or even between phrases of a sentence. We investigate whether variations in difficulty can be located automatically for Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). Furthermore, we hypothesize that customization of a SMT system based on difficulty information, improves the translation quality.We assume a binary categorization for phrases: easy vs. difficult. Our focus is on the Difficult to Translate Phrases (DTPs). Our experiments show that for a sentence, improving the translation of the DTP improves the translation of the surrounding non-difficult phrases too. To locate the most difficult phrase of each sentence, we use machine learning and construct a difficulty classifier. To improve the translation of DTPs, we introduce customization methods for three components of the SMT system: I. language model; II. translation model; III. decoding weights. With each method, we construct a new component that is dedicated for the translation of difficult phrases. Our experiments on Arabic-to-English translation show that DTP-specific system customization is mostly successful.Overall, we demonstrate that translation difficulty is an important source of information for machine translation and can be used to enhance its perf

Institute for Local Government Produces Guides to Pension and Labor TerminologyEarlier this month, the language of the pension and labor debates became a bit clearer, as the Institute for Local Government published its Guides to Pension and Labor Terminology. The two resources seek to disambiguate the language that surrounds the ongoing conversation of pensions and labor. Despite all the public uproar that continues to consume much of public discourse, most of the terminology remains foreign to the masses.
