Translog-II: A Program for Recording User Activity Data for Empirical Translation Process Research
Michaël Carl · 2012
This paper presents a novel implementation of Translog-II. Translog-II is a Windows-oriented program to record and study reading and writing processes on a computer. In our research, it is an instrument to acquire objective, digital data of human translation processes. As their predecessors, Translog 2000, Translog 2006, also Translog-II consists of two main components: Translog-II Supervisor and Translog-II User . The two components are interdependent: Translog-II User serves to record experimental translation sessions, while in Translog-II Supervisor project files can be generated, log files replayed and analysed. This paper gives an overview of the tool and its data visualization options.
