Navigating the Web

This Element reports an investigation of translators'' use of web-based resources and search engines. The study adopted a qualitative eye tracking-based methodology utilising a combination of gaze replay and retrospective think aloud (RTA) to elicit data. The main contribution of this Element lies in presenting not only an alternative eye tracking methodology for investigating translators'' web search behaviour but also a systematic approach to gauging the reasoning behind translators'' highly complex and context-dependent interaction with search engines and the Web.
