Este artigo pretende refletir sobre um processo de socialização que a tradução
está a viver e que se pode caracterizar por um grande número de indivíduos,
completamente diferentes, voluntários e possivelmente sem competências formais em
Línguas, que se encontram a realizar atividades de tradução. Estes indivíduos estão,
assim, a ter um papel preponderante na atividade de tradução, nomeadamente para
ambientes web, permitindo a emergência de um novo modelo de tradução em massa
denominado por crowd translation.
Este modelo de tradução surge num contexto em que os fenómenos de massas
estão a ter impacto em diversas áreas da sociedade, influenciando também a tradução.
Desta forma, e para melhor entender a crowd translation, este artigo irá abordar os
efeitos do coletivismo que podem ser observados, por exemplo, nas comunidades de
prática virtuais e crowdsourcing, tendo também em linha de conta que a sabedoria das
multidões influencia, de forma surpreendente, o desenvolvimento desses fenómenos.
Assim, serão discutidas as motivações que levam à proliferação da crowd
translation essencialmente nas redes sociais, uma vez que estas são um dos principais
potenciadores deste modelo, permitindo que indivíduos sem competências linguísticas
realizem atividades neste âmbito.
This intends to reflect upon the socialization process that translation has been experiencing, and that is characterized by a large number of completely different individuals, volunteers, and with possibly no formal competencies in languages, that are formally translating. These individuals are having an important role in the translation activity, namely for web environments, and are allowing the emergence of a new mass translation model called crowd translation. This translation model emerges within a context where mass phenomenon are having an impact in several areas of society, impacting translation as well. Thus, in order to better understand crowd translation, this paper will address the effects of collective approaches that can be seen in virtual communities of practice and crowdsourcing, bearing in mind that the wisdom of the crowds is having an enormous influence in the development of these phenomenon. Therefore, the motivations that may lead to the proliferations of crowd translation, essentially in social networks, will be addressed, since they are one of the major promoters of this model, allowing individuals with no competencies in languages to perform such activities.
