Description
MeLLANGE aims to adapt vocational training for translators and other language professionals to meet the new needs that flow from globalisation and increased cross-cultural communication: an increased need for the management of intercultural language resources. MeLLANGE's achievement was to:
- devise a methodology for the collaborative creation of corpus-based e-learning materials in translation and language resource management
- address the issue of a vocational training policy at the European level by coordinating MA programmes, within the framework of the Bologna declaration
Leeds participated in all major aspects of the project and coordinated the following activities:
- adapting existing corpora for use by material designers, trainers and end-users
- creating and analysing a corpus of learner translations
