概要 | The Ukyo Voices project was an extracurricular community engagement activity conducted at a university in Kyoto, with the cooperation of the Ukyo Ward local government, its residents and several organizations. 15 EFL students participated in this project, taking the roles of interviewers/writers/translators, website creators, or photographers. The goal of this project was to create a bilingual website to present the results of the students’ efforts, as well as to help the community promote their area. As for the translation part, the participants used a machine translation (MT) tool with the support of an AI MT developer company, and were able to experience the standard translation process for using MT, including pre-edit and post-edit stages. According to the post-project survey, overall, most of the participants felt this was a very valuable experience, not only for the opportunity it provided for interaction with people from outside the university, but also for the L1/L2 language usage involved in the project. The presenter will outline the project, with a special focus on how the translation work was planned and conducted, and also introduce some spin-off projects that were later conducted using the Ukyo Voices project model. |
