Abstract
This study aim to develop a methodology to amplify translation students’ competencies by using computer-based learning technologies and a multilingual corpus of A. P. Chekhov's works to improve translation accuracy and efficiency.
The research methods used include a comparative analysis of translations, a quantitative analysis of linguistic features, and a qualitative analysis of translation techniques.
Результаты. Within the framework of this project, students had an opportunity to get acquainted with individual translation strategies used in translating A. P. Chekhov's works into various European languages, to identify errors and shortcomings in existing translations, to analyze possible reasons for these errors, and to propose their own translation options. For 5 years more than 200 students of the Romano-Germanic department took part in the project.
Выводы. The results demonstrate that employing computer-based learning technologies and a multilingual corpus can improve the accuracy and efficiency of translation. This study provides a valuable contribution to the field of literary translation and opens up new prospects for future research in this area. The work in this direction continues to this day.
