Hi, this is my page for a translation class. Ilana
</tbody>| WEEK | PROCESS | TIME | CHALLENGES |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | I created a Wikipedia account in class and learned the basics on how to edit articles and publish changes. At home I translated the fourth section of the Hans Haustein article. | 90 minutes in class, 30 minutes at home. | I had a few problems with getting my page running and translating German noun phrases from the Haustein article. |
| 2 | Our teacher corrected the translated sections and then we polished them. At home I created this chart and started to work on the article "Albtrauf" with Zoë and Mirjam after dividing it into three sections. | 90 minutes in class, 60 minutes at home | I am not quite done with the translation, but I find it difficult to translate words from German into English that I don't even know or fully understand. |
| 3 | In class we talked about how tu put in images, titles, references and then we looked at our first drafts of the translations. At home I finished translating and looked through my section of the article "Albtrauf". I also corrected the sections of Zoë and Mirjam. | 90 minutes in class, 120 minutes at home | The translation took quite long because I am not familiar with German geological terms, which is why I was unsure which English translation would fit best. But it was very helpful to discuss these problems in the group and get alternative options from the other two. |
| 4 | In class, we put all of our sections into one article together and added the images and the references. Then Jordan and I found a new article to translate - Caroline Aguste Fische. | 90 minutes in class, 60 min at home | I didn't understand how I should add the images to our page and how I could translate the German description into English, but after looking at our class page and getting help from the others, I managed to change the images. |
| 5 | In class, Jordan and I worked on our translations, then proofread his part in class and looked over the first paragraph of my part of the article. At home, I finished translating my part. | 90 minutes in class, 90 min at home | Noun phrases are getting easier. Very long German sentences had to be shortened. Finding new English expressions and idioms. Constantly adding subordinate clauses doesn't work in English so I had to change the syntax of many sentences. |
| 6 | In class we proofread my part and created a page to put everything together. At home I added the links, a tag, categories, corrected some mistakes and added the literature to the Caroline Auguste Fischer article. | 90 minutes in class, 60 minutes at home | So great to see that adding links, references and categories seemed impossible during the first few days, but now it was so easy and very enjoyable. It's very motivating to work things out on your own. |
| 7 | In class I corrected the references and started working on a new translation with Elinor. It is about House Lichtenstein. | 90 minutes in class | |
| 8 | I missed this session. I worked on the translation with Elinor. | 120 minutes at home | Architectural terms are difficult. Sentences with subordinate clauses are huge and I have to divide them. Lot of nominal phrases and adverbial phrases of time and place and I don't always know the order - it's confusing if the sentences are this long and have so many subordinate clauses. |
| 9 | In class, I continued translating with Elinor and I wrote down some feedback for Johanna on her presentation. At home, I continued my translation but I still have to polish it up and I prepared my presentation. | 90 minutes in class, 240 minutes at home | Foreign words are difficult to translate. |
| 10 | In class, I held my presentation and I listened to other presentations. I found it interesting that we all had similar problems with grammatical rules or with untranslatable words. Then I continued translating with Elinor. At home, I finished my translation. | 90 minutes in class, 120 minutes at home | The Lichtenstein article is such a wordy text, the sentences are very long and the amount of subordinate clauses makes translation difficult, but I am happy with the result. |
| 11 | In class, Elinor and I proofread the article, added links, tags, categories and references. At home, I finished the revision. | 90 minutes in class, 60 minutes at home | |
| 12 | In class, we started translated the English SUSUtv article. | ||

SUSUtv ist eine Abkürzung und steht für Southampton University Students‘ Union Television. SUSUtv ist ein Studierendenfernsehsender, der den Studierenden der Southampton Universität dient. Der Sender wurde 2007 gegründet und ist ein Teil des studentischen Verbandes der Southampton Universität (Englisch: University of Southampton Students‘ Union). Der Sender ist der erste Studierendenfernsehsender, der für die Sonderwahlen zum Forschungsfreisemester aus dem Jahre 2010 in HD ausstrahlte. Er wird von einem Ausschuss von Mitgliedern geleitet, dem seit 2020 die Sendervorsitzende Molly Blumson vorsteht.
Der Sender produziert eine Vielfalt an unterschiedlichen Programmen, einschließlich der Nachrichtenberichterstattung, der Programmgestaltung von Sonderveranstaltungen und der Eigenproduktionen von Kurzfilmen und Serien. Zu den namhaften Shows und Filmen gehören die Fantasy Serie Elfrida (2013) und der Dokumentarfilm Das Wort Gay (Englisch: The Gay Word) aus dem Jahre 2015. Der Sender zeigt seine Videos mithilfe von YouTube und Facebook.
Ursprünglich wurde die Idee für das SUSUtv bereits 2001 eingereicht, jedoch wurde es zu diesem Zeitpunkt abgelehnt. 2006 kam die Idee dann wieder auf, als der Studierendenverband anfing, Videos für seine Website zu produzieren. Dadurch kam 2007 das SUSUtv zustande, damit Studierende diese immer ambitionierter werdenden Videos machen konnten. Der Sender trat im darauffolgenden Jahr der NaSTA (Englisch: The National Student Television Association) bei. 2010 übernahm er sein jetziges Logo und das helle grünfarbige Muster, zog in sein derzeitiges Studio im Untergeschoss des Gebäudes des Studierendenverbandes um and fing zum erstem Mal an, mit neuer Ausstattung HD Inhalte auszustrahlen.
