With the approval of the\nAAL\/2311 Decree of 22 October 2018, the Central Directorate for Local\nGovernment, Security and Migration of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region granted\nSLORI extraordinary funding to provide technical support to the\nnewly-established Central Office for the Slovene Language in carrying out its\nmain institutional duties. Among these, it is worth mentioning the efforts to\nunify the translations of Italian laws and regulations into Slovene by creating\na bilingual Italian-Slovene corpus, as well as a translation memory based on a\nterminology database and a glossary, following the example of EU institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This terminology unification and revision project started in 2018. It consisted primarily in proofreading existing texts and creating a translation corpus that will serve as a basis for further work. These newly-created resources will be accessible via a dedicated web portal, thus making standardised terminology readily available for users. As part of the project, a working group and a terminology commission have been set up and are currently working on terminology standardisation. Moreover, collaboration has been established with some key institutions from the Republic of Slovenia, namely the University of Ljubljana and the Slovene Proofreaders’ Association. General and specific training courses aimed at translators and various officials working at the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region have also been held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, a close technical cooperation was\nestablished between the Central Office for the Slovene Language at the\nAutonomous Region of FVG and SLORI, based on the unification of translations of\nItalian legal acts into Slovene, i.e. on the construction of Italian-Slovene\nparallel corpus, translation memory, termbase and glossary modelled on the\ntranslation tools used by the EU institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, Central\nOffice and SLORI have jointly reviewed over 2,000 pages of existing texts produced\nsince 2005 in various public administration bodies in bilingual area of FVG.\nAll texts were proofread, terminologically reviewed and edited. This resulted in\na bilingual parallel Italian-Slovenian corpus, which was also transferred to\nthe digital environment to be used by the SDL Trados CAT tool. The software,\npurchased by the Central Office and distributed free of charge to all municipal\noffices and other public administration bodies, allows translators to search\nand consult the database of existing translations in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the\ntranslation memory, this material and new translations also resulted in the\ncreation of a termbase accessible to all public administration bodies that have\njoined the network. It currently contains over 2,500 terms or Italian-Slovene\nterminological pairs: as soon as a translator comes across such a term in the\noriginal text, the program already suggests a suitable translation in the\ntarget language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the differences in\nthe regulations of individual countries often make the translation of technical\nterminology in the field of law and public administration very demanding, the\nCentral Office and SLORI have formed two working groups, one for administrative\nterminology and one for public finance and accounting in the public sector. The\ntwo groups are composed of experts from different professional fields whose\ntask is to standardise more difficult terminological cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2018, SLORI and the Central Office have also jointly implemented four training programmes for translators and other administrative staff from various public administration offices in the bilingual area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, they launched the web portal Jezik na klik<\/em>, which offers freely accessible Italian-Slovene communication tools and Slovene-language text creation and editing tools. The LORIS proofreader is a new SLORI application for automatic editing of Slovene-language texts, and is available on the portal free of charge from 15 February 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
