Türkiye’de uzaktan sözlü çevirinin alımlanması üzerine bir pilot çalışma

Öz

Bu makalede, Türkiye'de çalışan konferans tercümanlarının uzaktan sözlü çeviriye yaklaşımlarını araştıran bir pilot çalışmanın sonuçlarını sunulmaktadır. Konuyla ilgili mevcut durumu açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Makale, eşzamanlı çevirinin ve ardından uzaktan sözlü çevirinin icadına yol açan koşullara ilişkin kısa tarihi açıklamalar vermektedir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de uzaktan çevirinin mevcut durumunu ortaya koymayı amaçlayan çevrimiçi bir anket yapılmıştır. Anketten elde edilen bulgulara göre tercümanlar kendilerine bilgisayar kullanma konusunda güvenseler de uzaktan sözlü çeviri söz konusu olduğunda, aynı güveni göstermemektedir. Diğer bir önemli bulgu da, uzaktan sözlü çevirinin konferans ortamında bulunarak yapılan eşzamanlı çeviriye tercih edilmemesidir. Bu durum da ankete katılan konferans tercümanlarının uzaktan sözlü çeviri konusunda isteksiz olduklarını göstermektedir. Katılımcılar için en önemli sorun ise ses kalitesi olarak kayda geçmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Uzaktan sözlü çeviri,

Reception of remote interpreting in Turkey: A pilot study

Abstract

This paper presents a pilot study which explores the perception of remote interpreting by conference interpreters who work in Turkey. It aims to describe the current status quo regarding the subject-matter. The paper gives a brief insight into the conditions that gave way to the invention of simultaneous interpreting, and then remote interpreting. An online survey was conducted to describe the current status of remote interpreting in Turkey. The findings from the survey show that even though interpreters might feel reliably confident in using communication and information technologies, i.e. computers and their peripherals, when it comes to remote interpreting, they do not have the same confidence. Another important finding is that they would not prefer remote interpreting over traditional on-site simultaneous interpreting, revealing a reluctance for remote interpreting among conference interpreters who participated in the survey, the most important issue for whom remains the quality of audio.
