Resumen
- español
  En el presente artículo perfilamos una herramienta de diagnóstico para evaluar la práctica de la posedición. No es habitual que se utilicen estudios empíricos como base para su evaluación, a pesar de disponer de ejemplos de tales instrumentos. Esperamos que nuestra herramienta ayude a seleccionar profesionales de la traducción o alumnado de traducción adecuado para proyectos de posedición con la detección de conocimientos, competencias o actitudes importantes para este trabajo que no se encontraban hasta ahora en el comportamiento de los aspirantes a desempeñarlo.

  En aquest article descrivim un instrument de diagnòstic per avaluar la pràctica de la post-edició. Tot i que hi ha exemples d'aquests instruments a l'abast, rara vegada es fan servir els estudis empírics com a base per a avaluar-lo. Esperem que la nostra eina pugui ajudar a seleccionar professionals de la traducció o alumnat de traducció adequats per a projectes de post-edició amb la detecció dels coneixements, les competències o les actituds importants per fer aquesta feina i que fins ara faltaven en el comportament dels aspirants a fer-la.

  In the present article, we provide an outline of a diagnostic tool for testing post-editing performance. The tool is hoped to facilitate the identification of suitable translators/translation students for post-editing projects by flagging knowledge, skills or attitudes relevant to post-editing that is/are found to be lacking in candidates' post-editing behaviour.
