Abstract
Translated texts, in any language, have unique characteristics that set them apart from texts originally written in the same language. Translation studies is a research field that focuses on investigating these characteristics. Until recently, research in computational linguistics, and specifically in machine translation, has been entirely divorced from translation studies. The main goal of this tutorial is to introduce some of the findings of translation studies to researchers interested mainly in machine translation, and to demonstrate that awareness of these findings can result in better, more accurate machine translation systems (This chapter synthesizes material that has been previously published by the author and colleagues, in particular in Volansky et al. (2015); Rabinovich and Wintner (2015); Lembersky et al. (2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2013); and Twitto et al. (2015)).
