- Revision and Translation Tasks in English and European Portuguese: Unfinished by Anabela de Sousa, Madeira: Illustrated by Andrew Picken, A History of Madeira by William Combe, Estudo Sobre o Século XIX na Madeira by Paulo Rodrigues, and História da Madeira Séc. XIX — Volume V by Rui CaritaPublication . Abate, Giuseppe; Kurtes, Svetlana; Nunes, Naidea NunesThis internship established with Académica da Madeira focused on carrying out a revision of the unpublished novel by Anabela de Sousa titled Unfinished, a translation revision of the travelog by Andrew Picken titled Madeira: Illustrated (1840), a translation of the travelog by William Combe titled A History of Madeira (1821), and a revision of the publications written by Paulo Rodrigues and Rui Carita titled Estudo Sobre o Século XIX na Madeira (2015) and História da Madeira Séc. XIX — Volume V (2019), respectively. These activities primarily followed the guidelines set forth by Mossop (2020), Fidalgo (2014), Marques (2014), and Künzli (2007). The documents provided in digital PDF format were converted to DOCX, allowing comments and changes to be displayed by using the corresponding functionalities within the Microsoft Word program. For all tasks, online websites have been used, and particularly for the two travelogs, the aforementioned publications regarding Madeira Island in the 19th century written by Rui Carita and Paulo Rodrigues were read—along with the use of publications from other individuals and entities—in order to pinpoint the correct translation of a given term. This internship has not only helped the intern acquire and improve revision and translation techniques in English and European Portuguese but also provided new analysis content for Portuguese historians and linguists regarding Madeira Island as seen by two English visitors during that period.
