Screen recording method is used to keep track of the translator’s operation on the computer in
translation process. With two instruments, the software of EVCapture and interview, a research was conducted to
learn the translation process of English majors. It was found that translators, according to the translation stages,
differ in time spent on the source texts, as well as the focus of the revision. In the translation process, the students’
search mainly occurs in the initial translation stage; and the higher the subjects’ language ability, the larger the
search unit will be. Reviewing the screen recording is helpful for students to reflect on their translation behavior,
and it is also useful for teachers to diagnose the problems in students’ translation, and take effective measures to
improve their translation capacity.
