From the start of the semester till march 2nd, we were teased about this project and had to form a 5 man group in order to participate.

(Updated document with detailed instructions on the TAPP Project)

# data[].attributes.body
Hanna explained the project to us and also encourajed us to make contact and "break the ice" with our Minnesota colleagues... and that's what we did.

# data[].attributes.body
We decided to get together on a WhatsApp group ( with just the NOVA students), making it easier for us keep in touch with one another.

They even introduced themselves while responding (talk about efficiency)

# data[].attributes.body
The following day, after being given these instructions, we sent out an email to our American partners.

# data[].attributes.body
We organized ourselves into each specific role for the project.

March 16 - Confirmation on the date for our Zoom meeting

# data[].attributes.body
On our previous email, we established the day but not the time. Thus, Friday, the 18th at 15:30 (10:30am for them).

# data[].attributes.body
They had this PowerPoint document and they wanted each one of us to introduce ourselves in those slides.

# data[].attributes.body
While doing our part and finishing up those slides, we finally saw what they looked like! Here's Cynthia Salazar Martinez with her family!

Here's the final version of the file.

After 16 days, we were finally about to break the ice! The meeting went pretty well, all things considered (except for the fact that one of our members skipped it...)
Our Minnesota collegues were very friendly and understanding. We had a fun 40 minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
We also decided to make a second one the same day. This time, including our Minnesota colleagues.

# data[].attributes.body
Over the course of the weekend, we made sure to finish up our first group assignment for this project.

# data[].attributes.body
We asked them for it since we needed to submit it to Moodle and they happily obliged

March 23 - The TAPP Translation Brief (Complete)

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the final version of their document.

# data[].attributes.body
We asked them what type of language should we use and who was the target audience so that we'd be on the same page.

# data[].attributes.body
After mentioning actual text, Sam brought their website, saying that it was finished. The very next day, he sent us the link.

Website link: drivinginamerica.weebly.com

# data[].attributes.body
Sam also wanted us to take a survey that they both made in order to see how well we would grasp the information present on the website. The questions were obviously driving-related.

Survey link: https://forms.gle/RMd7scuCtjispJam8

# data[].attributes.body
Just as I mentioned above, this is the email Sam sent us to provide the links.

# data[].attributes.body
And also, just like he requested above, I provided him with a screen recording of me going through and testing their website.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
After replying back, they would only respond to my email after about a week

# data[].attributes.body
I received an email from this João Santos saying that him and Inês Reis would be joining our A3 Group for this project.

# data[].attributes.body
This makes 7 people in total who participated in this project from Group A3.

# data[].attributes.body
We told them about how we needed a source text in order to start our translation, hoping that they would provide us with us (unfortunately, that wasn't the case). We also pointed out some minor written mistakes on the website.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I wonder what more misconceptions he has about translation

# data[].attributes.body
This was the email we received from Sam regarding the source text. Just by reading the title (TAPP Introductions), it's safe to say he really doesn't understand what a source text is...

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the document Sam gave us:

# data[].attributes.body
After seeing those "instructions", we didn't bother to correct him and the project manager simply decided to make the source text by himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the simple nature of the vocabulary used to make the driving website, we weren't expecting translating it to be much of a challenge. Our first translator (Bordalo), suggested 3 terms for further research.

# data[].attributes.body
After 4 days, this is what he came up with. Honestly we were very disappointed, especially due to his explanation regarding the term "yield". Unfortunatly, it seems he wasn't aware that our text was about driving and not economic investments.

TAPP project Source text (EN-PT) REVISED BY JOÃO GANDUM

# data[].attributes.body
Our first translator (Bordalo) finished his part - he translated about half of the source text. Now we just had to wait for our new members.

# data[].attributes.body
After quite some time, the new members were added to the group chat. Our project manager then made sure that they knew their roles and learned everything there is to know about this project.

A few days later, our second translator (Inês) finished translating the rest of the source text.

After the 23rd, the file was sent to me. I revised it, made some changes and it made it's way to our project manager. He then confirmed those changes and sent it back.

Finally, here is the result of our efforts, which concludes this timeline.
