ABSTRACT

The ‘domestication norm' has been frequently identified as a feature of news translation. However, a paradigm shift in translational behaviour in news production might be underway, coinciding in time with the democratisation of free machine translation services. An analysis of a corpus of science-journalism articles published in a ‘hyperlocal' Spanish medium, including reactions from readers, will confirm this hypothesis. Exploring the effects and implications of the adoption of (scarcely) post-edited machine translation procedures in the production of digital news will offer grounds for delineating alternatives to the ‘mechanistic’ translation practices that are on the rise in contemporary journalism.

摘要

“归化规范”经常被认为是新闻翻译的一个特征。然而，新闻制作中翻译行为的范式转变可能正在进行中，恰逢免费机器翻译服务的民主化。对在“超本地”西班牙媒体上发表的科学新闻文章语料库的分析，包括读者的反应，将证实这一假设。探索在数字新闻制作中采用（很少）经过后期编辑的机器翻译程序的影响和含义，将为描绘当代新闻业兴起的“机械”翻译实践的替代方案提供依据。
