Resum

Aquest article investiga el flux de treball de postedició i els tipus d’edició realitzats en el context d’un projecte real de traducció literària. El text original és una narració breu de l’autor brasiler Lima Barreto. El text ha estat traduït automàticament a l’alemany per DeepL i posteriorment posteditat per una traductora literària, que ha fet servir un keylogger per capturar les edicions i les versions intermèdies.

Paraules clau

postedició literària, flux de treball de postedició, distància d'edició, tipologia d'edicions, versions intermèdies
