Online Search Tips for Language Specialists and Analysts Engaged with Multilingual Sources
About the course
The course equips translators, interpreters, editors, researchers, and analysts with multilingual online search techniques to help them better prepare for their assignments. It introduces them to special Google search commands and teaches them how these search commands can be applied to find and work with bilingual websites, bilingual texts and parallel texts. This will help practitioners not only acquire the specific terms they are looking for, but also gain access to background knowledge and the broader terminology relevant to the project they are working on.
The course also introduces practitioners to how they can use Google as a context database and perform quality checks to make their research robust. The examples and case studies demonstrated in the course come from Chinese, English and German, but the search techniques can also be applied to other languages.
