We describe an open-source toolkit for neural machine translation (NMT). The toolkit prioritizes efficiency, modularity, and extensibility with the goal of supporting NMT research into model architectures, feature representations, and source modalities, while maintaining competitive performance and reasonable training requirements. The toolkit consists of modeling and translation support, as we...

This study investigated learning style preferences among professional translators. The purposes of the study were to (a) find the prevailing learning style among the Iranian professional translators; (b) reveal any significant difference in the translators’ learning style preferences in terms of gender; and (c) find any significant difference between individual learning style and translation co...

Accordingly, the present study was conducted to identify the Iranian English majors' difficulties in translating English texts si...

Being able to propose a taxonomy of translation techniques has been long-standing aspiration theorists. By building on previous proposals, this paper presents the HispaTAV typology (ToT), new list specifically designed for subtitling trainees. The aim proposal is increase students’ awareness variety possible solutions translate segments source text, and promote creativity, key factor in develop...
