Abstract

Value-added service’ (VAS) refers to differentiated language services offered by Language Service Providers (LSP). Such services require the exercise of basic core translation and intercultural skills but also entail differences when compared to more general, conventional translation tasks. Specific technological input and different processes, formats and managerial frameworks require hard and soft skills from the language professional. This proposal reviews an integrative work framework for bringing students into contact with different facets of the language industry today with focus on the uses and limitations of machine translation and postediting within specialised translation contexts.
