As part of this course, students learn how to use special Internet tools such as IATE, Eur-Lex, etc., as well as navigate on French sites rich in information materials such as those of the National Assembly, the Senate, Legifrance et al.
Also, through special exercises, students are familiarized with identifying online legal and political texts from which they are asked to translate an excerpt.

From the first lesson students are trained in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) useful for the production of translations and electronic communication. Special emphasis is given to the utilization of applications for the production and sharing of documents, video communication, organization and planning of works, etc.

At the end of the semester:

Students are required to translate into Greek a French Economic or Legal or Political or Administrative text of approximately 300-400 words according to specific translation guidelines.

The translation will be assessed on the basis of the coherence and consistency of the text and the management of cultural elements where appropriate.

The use of any printed aid or dictionary is permitted during the examination.
