Translating EXTRALAB into English: Website Translation and Enterprise Conceptual Mapping

This thesis is based on an internship undertaken within the Language Toolkit project, an initiative promoted by the Department of Interpreting and Translation of the University of Bologna in collaboration with the Camera di Commercio of Romagna. Through this program, students collaborate with local enterprises while completing an internship that forms the basis of their final thesis. The present internship was carried out with EXTRALAB SRL, a creative workshop and production studio specialising in scenographic installations, decorative and monumental works and a range of further work. The commissioned tasks consisted of translating the main website of the company, the text of a second website under development, and two promotional booklets presenting a range of completed projects. In addition to the translation work, a terminological resource was developed in the form of a conceptual map designed to represent EXTRALAB’s activities and materials. This map serves both as a tool for knowledge dissemination and as an alternative means of presenting the company’s expertise.
