„Licencja do nauczania” czyli Lehrbefugnis i Lehrbefähigung w tłumaczeniu maszynowym

The subject of this article is the machine translation (MT) of the German terms Lehrbefugnis (“authorisation to teach”) and Lehrbefähigung (“teaching qualification”) into Polish. After highlighting the role of these terms in international academic careers, their semantics are described and basic information about the principles of MT are outlined. The structural equivalents of German terms in Polish and typical mistakes made by translators are also discussed. The analysis concludes that translators are not yet able to translate such specific terms correctly, therefore further work (also of a linguistic nature) is necessary to improve the quality of translations, e.g. by supplementing lexical resources.
