Working title
How can language technology and the use of language technology be improved in the context of Welsh language translation Supervisors
Professor Andrew Rothwell and Dr Tudur Hallam Start date
October 2009 (full time)
My Research
I propose to investigate current language technology and its use in Wales and compare language technology’s use in the Welsh context with its use in the wider context, specifically in the European Commission Directorate-General for Translation. I will also compare Wales’s position with that of Quebec, a country which also produces all its official documentation bilingually. I am then going to create a metric for testing and evaluating the technology. My aim is to evaluate current technology and its use in the Welsh context.
My Teaching
I delivered the Translation and Technology module to 2nd year undergraduates on the BSc Translation course at Aston University during 2008/09.
My Background
I graduated with a Welsh degree from Swansea University in 1999. I returned in 2007 to follow an MA in Translation with Language Technology which I completed in October 2008. I am also SDL Trados Certified (level 3). You can find more detail about me on my personal website.
