Verdades y mentiras en Internet: el despertar necesario de una conciencia crítica entre estudiantes de traducción / Truths and lies on the Internet: the necessary awakening of a critical awareness between translation students

Abstract

This article aims, first of all, to encourage a critical approach to the Internet information handled by each user, and particularly hopes to awaken in university translation students the need of evaluating the documentation they are accessing and which they will work with in their future careers. This paper develops the project carried out in a general French-Spanish translation lecture of Alcala University, in which a series of website analysis grids were designed to help students ascertain any website’s trustworthiness.
