Some approaches to translation of professional terms abbreviation in materials science

Abstract

The dynamic growth of international collaboration in the scientific and professional spheres leads to a wave-like increase in the volume of translations of professional and scientific texts and determines the relevance of the problem under study. Translators have problems translating abbreviations of professional terms. This paper analyzes the ways of translating English abbreviations in the field of materials science. As research methods, we used, among other things, the analysis of methods of translating English abbreviations into Russian, the study of articles in the field of materials science, the collection of data on abbreviations of professional terms and the comparison of the ways of translation of abbreviations of professional terms in the texts of materials science. The article reveals the features of the ways of translating abbreviations of professional terms in materials science texts. The main results of the research work are the identification of problems of translation of English abbreviations that the translator faces in the field of materials science, and the determination of the use frequency of one or another translation method. The materials of the article can be useful for researchers in this field, physics students and translators of scientific and technical texts.

Artificial Intelligence Technologies in College English Translation Teaching

“…Besides acquiring professional skills in technical translation, it is essential to qualitatively promote the development of students' thinking abilities. It is crucial to focus not on the amount of knowledge but on the need to learn throughout life, i.e., to teach to reflect rather than think (Sigacheva et al, 2021 ). Innovative digital thinking of the future interpreter can be developed with the help of online training tools that can qualitatively support synchronous and asynchronous communication acts.…”
