SMEs are the driving force behind every country's economic activity. The proper functioning and performance of SMEs depends on the mental and physical capacities of their promoters, the entrepreneurs. The emergence of the Covid-19 as sudden as it was unforeseen has challenged the normal functioning of most economies around the world. This unprecedented context has affected various spheres of economic life and on individuals. In this study, we focus on the impact of Covid-19 on the mental health of entrepreneurs in Africa. We collected data from 158 entrepreneurs from various parts of Africa at the beginning of the pandemic. The analyses show that several of them experienced various symptoms of psychological distress because of the consequences of the pandemic on their businesses and, we observed differences among entrepreneurs. Personal characteristics and resources (age, experience) and enterprise characteristics contribute to the contrasting picture of psychological distress among entrepreneurs in Africa.

AbstractWhat are proper names? Are proper names translatable? A clear answer to those two questions should be prior to any attempt of machine translation of the proper names. Some authors claim that the proper name is untranslatable, while the practice shows the opposite.Different criteria such as the textual genre, the historic context, the source language or the ontological nature of the bearer play a significant role in the decision to modify or to preserve the proper name in its original shape.

AbstractTranslation clients today are looking for high productivity and quality, but are looking for these at reduced costs. Translation Memory (TM) systems are currently among the most popular translation tools on the market and are intended to help translators produce more translations in a short time period while maintaining high quality and consistency in their work. There are two ways of working with a TM system: interactive mode and pre-translation mode. However, there have been no studies to date which attempt to determine whether one mode is superior to the other. This paper describes a pilot study which investigates which of the two produces better results in terms of productivity, quality and translator satisfaction.
