KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)

Explains the historical, theoretical, and technological development of machine translation.
Compares the fundamental principles of rule-based, example-based, statistical, and neural machine translation approaches and large language model-based translation systems.
Evaluates the outputs of different machine translation and AI systems in terms of accuracy, fluency, terminology, consistency, context, and cultural appropriateness.
Identifies error types in machine translation output and applies appropriate post-editing and quality control methods.
Explains and evaluates the integration of machine translation with translation memories, terminology databases, and computer-assisted translation tools.
Designs translation-oriented prompts for large language models and generative AI systems and guides and verifies outputs by providing contextual, terminological, and stylistic information.
Evaluates ethical and legal issues related to AI and machine translation, including confidentiality, data security, copyright, algorithmic bias, transparency, and professional responsibility.
Evaluates the changing role of the translator in AI-assisted translation environments and emerging workflows based on human–AI collaboration.
