Abstract
The study of translation quality self-evaluation represents a shift of focus from product to process in the field of translation quality research. As this is a new and rarely explored field of investigation, a complete description of the research object will serve as a strong foundation for its future development. This research uses screen-recording software as an instrument to observe the phenomena of translation quality self-evaluation as manifested by expert translators. The results of the observation prove that translation quality self-evaluation is an essential part of any translation process, and that it takes place not only in the revision stage but also in the very first stage of meaning generation. The research also sheds some light on the content, criteria, and external and internal resources used in the process of translation quality self-evaluation.
期刊介绍：
Language Resources and Evaluation is the first publication devoted to the acquisition, creation, annotation, and use of language resources, together with methods for evaluation of resources, technologies, and applications.
Language resources include language data and descriptions in machine readable form used to assist and augment language processing applications, such as written or spoken corpora and lexica, multimodal resources, grammars, terminology or domain specific databases and dictionaries, ontologies, multimedia databases, etc., as well as basic software tools for their acquisition, preparation, annotation, management, customization, and use.
Evaluation of language resources concerns assessing the state-of-the-art for a given technology, comparing different approaches to a given problem, assessing the availability of resources and technologies for a given application, benchmarking, and assessing system usability and user satisfaction.
