Abstract

MTxGames is a doctoral research project examining three different translation modes with varying degrees of machine translation post-editing when translating video game texts. For realistic experimental conditions, data elicitation took place at the workplaces of professional game translators. In a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data was elicited through keylogging, eye-tracking, error annotation, and questionnaires as well as qualitative data through interviews. Aspects to be analyzed are translation productivity, cognitive effort, translation quality, and translators’ user experience.
