IR40390 Dlí agus Aistriúchán I

Academic Year 2018/2019

Tá an cúrsa seo dírithe ar mhic léinn a bhfuil suim acu obair trí mheán na Gaeilge i réimse an dlí. Beidh sé mar aidhm ag an gcúrsa sainscileanna teanga a chur ar fáil do mhic léinn ionas gur féidir leo cur isteach ar phostanna mar aistritheoirí ar cháipéisí dlí in Éirinn agus san Aontas Eorpach. Leagfar béim sa chéad seimeastar ar na dúshláin a bhaineann leis an aistriúchán sa chomhthéacs dlíthiúil, ar nósanna teanga sa reachtaíocht, ar shaintéarmaíocht an dlí, ar ardchruinneas teanga agus ar áiseanna teicneolaíochta. Faoi dheireadh an tseimeastair, beidh tuiscint agus taithí agat ar na saghsanna éagsúla cáipéisí a aistrítear go Gaeilge in Éirinn agus san Aontas Eorpach. Tabharfar roinnt eolais ghinearálta duit ar bheartas teanga an Stáit agus ar bheartas teanga an Aontais Eorpaigh maidir le cáipéisí dlí a chur ar fáil i nGaeilge. Gheobhaidh tú taithí freisin ar na tástálacha síciméadracha a úsáidtear mar chuid den phróiseas earcaíochta d'aistritheoirí san Aontas Eorpach. Ach díreofar go príomha ar scileanna aistriúcháin. Má éiríonn leat sa mhodúl seo i Seimeastar 1, beidh tú in ann dul ar aghaidh i Seimeastar 2 go dtí IR 40400 Dlí II.This course is aimed at students who are interested in working through Irish in the legal field.

Emphasis will be placed in the first semester on the challenges of translation in the legal context, on language patterns in legislation, on specific legal terminology, on a high level of linguistic accuracy and on technological resources. By the end of the semester, you will have an understanding and experience of the different types of documents that are translated into Irish in Ireland and in the European Union. You will be given some general information on language policy in the State and in the European Union as regards the provision of legal documents in Irish. You will also gain experience of the psychometric tests that are used as part of the recruitment process for translators in the European Union. But the main focus will be on translation skills.
