Courses
The eCoLoTrain courses include materials for teaching eContent localisation processes and tools to trainers and teachers of professional translation. They contain guidelines for the best practice in integrating these tools and methods into general and specialised translation classes. The courses are presented in five modules that cover the following areas: information and computer technology (ICT) skills, terminology management, computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, project management (PM) and software localisation. All materials are designed to support a blended learning approach, combining online distance learning and face-to-face pedagogy.
