Per què més traductors literaris haurien d'adoptar les tecnologies de la traducció?
Resum
La qualitat de la traducció automàtica (TA) ha millorat notablement amb l’arribada de les tècniques neuronals. Algunes comunicacions sobre aquestes millores han estat producte d’una exagerada propaganda de màrqueting, però avui dia la TA està acomplint un paper real a la vida de molts traductors humans. Fins i tot s’ha començat a utilitzar la TA en estudis pilot de traducció literària, amb resultats que han superat les expectatives. Així i tot, l’ús i l’adopció d’aquest recurs, així com el reconeixement dels seus possibles avantatges, estan trobant una certa resistència, especialment entre els traductors literaris més experimentats. En altres àmbits, els traductors s’han queixat que se’ls imposin eines i han sol·licitat que se’ls consulti sobre el disseny de la tecnologia de traducció. Hi ha exemples en què la participació dels traductors en el disseny de les eines ha donat bons resultats, però en la traducció literària per se, els traductors han evitat aquest tipus de debats. En aquest article investiguem per què alguns traductors literaris es comporten de manera diferent als seus col·legues d’altres camps de la traducció. Per últim, oferim pistes sobre com la tecnologia de la traducció, i la TA en particular, podrien beneficiar els traductors literaris amb una mentalitat oberta respecte de la tecnologia.
