Abstract

The Multilingual Student Translation (MUST) Project (Granger & Lefer, 2018: 72) aims to compile a multilingual parallel corpus of translations carried out by inexperienced learners. Within this project, the MUST partner UCMA (Complutense University of Madrid) contributes to the global MUST project with a bilingual subcorpus containing student-translated specialised texts in the fields of media and humanities, among others. Bearing in mind the five sub-competences that contribute to the acquisition of a translation competence, namely linguistic, extra-linguistic, transfer, professional, psychophysiological and strategic (PACTE 2001, 2003), this study aims to detect the weaknesses and strengths present in the students' tasks when translating from English into Spanish. To do so, the TAS annotating system put forward by Granger & Lefer (2018) and Granger, Lefer & Penha Marion (2018), together with a sample of humanistic texts translated by trainee translators at a university (postgraduate) level and retrieved from the UCMA corpus has been used as means of exemplification.
