  • develop a terminology database in accordance with the instructions provided by the client; 
  • localize one or more Web pages or applications using MT and AI. 
 
Content
Elaborating concept diagrams, terminological cards, MultiTerm termbase and leaflet or website on a topic chosen by the teachers.
Teaching methods
Compulsory workshops in the computer lab.
Evaluation methods
January exam session : continuous assessment of the student's work for certification.
August/September exam session : assessment in the form of a written paper and oral exam. Practical details of the assignment and written exam will be communicated on Moodle.
The work to be presented or submitted as part of the course is personal work that will reflect the skills acquired. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with the practices of academic and scientific integrity. As scientific integrity requires that sources be cited, the use of AI must always be reported. The use of artificial intelligence for tasks where it is explicitly forbidden will be considered as cheating.
