Abstract

This paper reports on a study that investigates the cognitive effort required of a translator either to post-edit machine translated metaphors or to translate metaphors manually by means of eye tracking and keystroke logging. We hypothesise that post-editing will be less effortful than manual translation. In order to test this hypothesis, an experiment was conducted with two different groups of participants. Fourteen participants were asked to post-edit a newspaper text and eight participants were asked to translate the same source text. The analysis focuses on eye-tracking data related to total fixation duration and keystroke logging data (insertions, deletions, pauses). Data analysis shows that the cognitive effort required to post-edit MT output is lower in comparison to manual translation.
