Tracking translators’ keystrokes and eye movements with Translog
Although keylogging opens up many possibilities for studying translation processes,
the addition of eye tracking vastly increases our ability to know what kind of process
a translator engages in at any given point in time. Following a description of how the
Translog software was technologically reshaped in the context of the EU Eye-to-IT
project to be able to integrate keylogging and eye tracking, and of how raw eye and key
data were represented, an analysis of a small sample of eye and key data results will be
presented in a tentative formulation of a recurrent six-step processing micro-cycle
which introduces the “anchor” word as a novel concept. It is optimistically suggested
that an elementary cycle of the kind suggested could both function as the basis of
computational analysis of large volumes of translational eye and key data
and potentially as the core of a computational model of human translation.
Keywords: eye tracking, keylogging, translation processes, Translog
