Resumen: Tolerance for ambiguity (TA) is a cognitive factor that influences the perception of uncertainty and that, when not sufficiently present, may adversely affect problem solving and decision making, both key processes in translation. This being so, it has even been stated that TA is a personality trait which must be taken into account as far as translator training and recruitment are concerned (Tirkkonen-Condit 2000). After reviewing the main research conducted so far on TA from the disciplines of psychology and translation, the results of an exploratory field study based on descriptive methodology and self-report measures are shown. The Multiple Stimulus Types Ambiguity Tolerance Scale (Arquero and McLain 2010) or MSTAT-II is the main psychometric instrument applied to all participants (n=107). On the one hand, a positive correlation was found between tolerance of ambiguity and individuals' own assessment of their self-efficacy when searching the Internet for documentation. On the other hand, those subjects who thought that they did not meet the requirements for becoming professional translators in the future obtained low scores in TA, and a significant difference in TA was found between them and those who believed to meet such requirements. The results of this preliminary work suggest that TA is relevant to the study of the cognitive processes of translators and that psychometric instruments of proven reliability and validity can be useful for process-oriented translation research.

Resumen: Este trabajo de investigación, llevado a cabo desde 2004, pretende realizar un acercamiento al mundo de la traducción filológica de textos históricos desde una triple perspectiva: a. Algunas consideraciones preliminares: la definición de la traducción (tipos, factores, etapas y ámbitos de aplicación). b. Análisis de modelos de traducción filológica aplicables a la traducción de la correspondencia privada entre Felipe V y Luis XIV. c. Definición de una metodología de la investigación traductológica aplicada al proyecto COFELU.

Resumen: Through our academic research we developed a control mechanism for translation based on seven variables derived from the studies of the Belgian translatologist Dirk Delabastita. In this paper we implement the control mechanism for translation in the fields of solid waste management and liquid waste mechanics using the academic text-books Handbook of Solid Waste Management and Wastewater Engineering, Treatment and Reuse in order to investigate the quality of translations in Greek. We present an indicative psychometric questionnaire from the initial research conducted with telecommunications scientists, as well as an abstract outlining the processing of the relevant indices, followed by indicative processing in the academic field of environmental engineering. This could be the first step in research for the field of environmental engineering terminology.

Resumen: "El presente proyecto de investigación tiene por objeto analizar qué beneficios reporta el conocimiento y la aplicación de procedimientos técnicos específicos de traducción para un óptimo ejercicio de la profesión que de esta forma puede adquirir un alto grado de celeridad y eficacia con fundamentos sólidos".
