This course approaches French to English translation from a practical and methodological perspective rather than from a purely theoretical one. French source texts from a wide range of genres (journalistic, scientific, business, literary, etc) and Francophone countries will be studied and discussed in relation to key translation issues. Students will gain basic knowledge of the translation profession and of translation-specific vocabulary in English and French while independently and collaboratively completing translation exercises.

Task description
All students are required to demonstrate they have been correctly placed in FREN3310. Failure to do so will result in a maximum grade of 3 in the course. This is a hurdle requirement. No assessment items will be marked until this has been completed. Students who have passed FREN3113, FREN3114 or FREN3115 have already passed this hurdle. Students who have been placed in this course by academic staff in the French programme, via the course placement portal, have already passed this hurdle.
Students who have neither passed FREN3113 nor been placed in FREN3310 in the manner indicated should complete a placement questionnaire at: https://courseplacements.languages-cultures.uq.edu.au/
STATEMENT ON AI & MT: This assessment task evaluates students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT). Students are advised that the use of AI or MT technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
Hurdle requirements
This is a hurdle requirement. If you do not pass the placement hurdle (either because you don't do the test or because you are placed in another course) you cannot get a grade higher than "3" in this course. If you are awarded a grade of "3" on the basis of this hurdle, you are eligible for supplementary assessment and the supplementary assessment will be the placement test: if you pass the placement test as a supplementary assessment item, you can be awarded a grade of "4" but no higher.Submission guidelines

Task description
OVERVIEW
- You will produce a translation into English of a French Source Text (500-600 words), accompanied by a commentary (500-650 words) in either English or French.
- You may choose your Source Text, pending approval, from a wide variety of areas (science, history, journalism, health, literature, etc.) but you should consider your personal areas of knowledge, interests and strengths.
- You may discuss theoretical and strategic issues with fellow students, but the work you submit must be your own.
Please note that this is a multi-part assessment task, however there is one due date for the submission of the FINAL TRANSLATION PROJECT (extension and late penalty submission only apply to this final due date).
I. Final Project Text Selection = Hurdle
NB Course coordinator approval required before you can submit your final translation
Due Date: MONDAY, 7 April 17:00 via email (Week 7)
Task Description: Provide the source text for your final translation project, any necessary bibliographical information (author, date, publisher, etc.) and a short summary in English of both the text and your reason for translating it (150 - 300 words). If your source text is over the required length of 500 to 600 words, highlight or explain the selection which you will translate. Emailing a link to the text is not sufficient: please provide a PDF or scan of the source text. If a known English translation already exists, you must justify your choice. Your final translation will not be accepted until your project has been approved.
Submission: By email to the course coordinator.
II. Workshop of Final Translation Project
Due Date: 8 May in class (Week 10)
Task Description: Arrive in class with the source text and the printed draft of your final project, with a minimum of 400 words translated. Word count should be visible on your printed copy. Identify at least two specific questions or problems related to your project and potential solutions. Participate in group workshopping of translation projects and give feedback to your peers for submission with their final draft.
III. Final Translation Project Submission
Due Date: 16 May 17:00 (Week 11)
Task Description: You will produce a full translation into English of a French Source Text (500-600 words), accompanied by a commentary (450-650 words) in either English or French.
The translation must be “publication-ready”, i.e. it should not contain elements of indecision (e.g. ellipses where you could not arrive at a suitable translation; alternate choices where you could not decide between possibilities…).
The commentary will provide:
- full bibliographic information and a general overview of the Source Text including the genre and/or style of the text;
- a description of the strategic approach required to produce the Target Text in which you identify the purpose and readership of the TT, any special areas of knowledge required, and specific priorities you set;
- a detailed analysis of 3 specific translation issues identified in your project. You should focus on salient features discussed in class such as translation units, idiomatic expressions, calques, borrowing, generic conventions, cultural considerations, etc. and use the correct translation vocabulary to do so. Explain how your choices were determined.
You may also wish to provide a conclusion that is based on preceding discussion and indicate future avenues for this work.
Electronic submission:
- Submit your assignment electronically via Turnitin, in one Word document. Format your document in two sections. Section one will contain the Source Text and Target Text, presented as parallel texts in two columns. Section two will contain your commentary.
- For the purposes of the parallel texts (which facilitate both final proofing, for you, and marking, for your lecturer) copy relevant text only (no images) from the Source Text into the left-hand column. The Source Text itself must not be altered in any way.
- The submitted Source Text approved by the coordinator in week 7 will be the official reference point for the marking of your Target Text, in the event that images, tables or other any non-textual information need to be consulted; or in the event of discrepancies between the approved version and the parallel text.
Criteria & Marking:
The translation component and the commentary will each count for 50% of the marks for this task. The translation and commentary criteria are the same as for other work in this course.
STATEMENT ON AI & MT: This assessment task evaluates students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT). Students are advised that the use of AI or MT technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Task description
This examination will assess your translation strategies, ability to translate from French to English, and ability to identify and resolve translation problems. There will be an unseen passage of approximately 250 words that you will translate from French into English. You may use both monolingual and bilingual dictionaries. You will also identify and explain how you resolved three translation problems that arise in the text. Your mark will be based on 20 points for the translation and 10 points for the annotations.
STATEMENT ON AI & MT:
Copying directly from Machine Translation such as Google Translate will be treated as plagiarism.
This task has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use AI and/or MT technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance. A failure to reference generative AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their written submission independent of AI and MT tools.
Hurdle requirements
You must achieve a minimum of 50% in each part of the final exam to pass the course (i.e. 50% for the translation and 50% for the annotations). For example, even if you obtain 60 out of 70 for your non-exam assessment tasks, but less than 50% on one or both parts of the final exam, your overall course grade will be brought down to a 3.Exam details
