“…Comparatively speaking, EN 15038:2006 pays less attention to this issue, as indicated by the surprisingly small number of occurrences of key technology-related words and terms (software appears twice, while computer, tool and translation memory appear only once each). Despite the positive effects identified by scholars-see, for example, Ehrensberger-Dow et al (2016: 2), Englund Dimitrova and Ehrensberger-Dow (2016: 3), Ipsen and Dam (2016: 143-144)-some criticism has also been directed towards translation standards (see, for example, Schopp's comments on the European standard [2007]). EN 15038:2006 or ISO 17100:2015 compliance requires, for example, that the target text be checked twice-once by the translator him/herself (checking process) and once by a reviser (revision).…”

The sharp rise in the use of technology tools in the translation process has rendered human translators more invisible than ever. The importance of the role played by human translators in translation, however, cannot be denied or understated. This paper aims to examine the primary factors influencing the work of human translation combined with translation technology tools. Therefore, the paper provides an overview of the translation and language industries and insights into translation industry standards, quality concerns and the most frequently used tools, as they are aspects that influence and condition the translator’s work today. The final and main section in this work emphasizes an increasingly common trend in translation: a human-assisted machine translation model based on the post-edition of the output from machine translation systems. By analyzing market studies, surveys and papers on the aforementioned aspects, this article confirms that the role of human translators in technology-driven translation processes will be as central in the future as it is today.

This article aims to explore the significant challenges posed by phenomenological untranslatables while also emphasizing their role as cultural phenomena. Phenomenological untranslatables are typically associated with a specific cultural, historical, or social context, and their meanings are shaped by the unique experiences of the community that uses them. They encode complex elements of human perception, emotions, or phenomena that do not have direct equivalents in other languages. Yet, the absence of direct linguistic equivalents should not be misconstrued as the absence of shared human experiences. By employing a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses linguistics, cognitive science, and cultural studies, we have conducted an analysis of the conceptual framework underlying this type of lexis and identified macro- and micro-conceptual attributes that may necessitate various verbalizations in different cultural and contextual settings.
