“…In fact, the prevalent use of emergent technology in the process of translation brings about several ethical questions which are seldom discussed in classroom settings (Floros, 2011). Furthermore the use of technology such as automatic translation systems in the field of translation and interpretation require translators to develop sets of new technical skills and competencies which they currently lack.…”

“…In addition to this, translators are still confronted with the dilemma of determining when translation machines or technologies have attained a level of linguistic precision or coverage that may be perceived as satisfactory or good enough. While they must not exaggerate or overstate the accuracy of translation technologies, translators and interpreters may also not understate the benefits of such technology (Floros, 2011).…”

“…The use of technology in translation affects the ethical position of the translator because technology is rarely perfect and it is crucial for translators to remain sensitive of such imperfections (Floros, 2011). The most important issue, therefore, in the use of emergent technology in translation processes is that the application of such technology, for example translation memories and machine translation programs, means that the only active role played by the translator is making final touches to the machine translated content in order to make it comprehensible by the target audience.…”

The objective of this essay is to examine and discuss the effect of recent technological developments on ethical position of translator. The associations between technology and the process of translation is a section of the greater discussion regarding the impacts that technology has on language. Presently, the career of interpreting and translating and its different branches, for example localization, are alleged to be under amplified threat from technological developments and practices such as crowdsourcing (Baker & Maier, 2011). The importance currently assigned to the effects of recent technology on the ethical position of the translator emanates from the fact that there are currently several emergent translation technologies, for example, collaborative translation management systems, translation memories and data-based machine translation, which transform the social links, professional views and thought patterns of the translator (Pym, 2001). In addition to examining the relationship between technology and translation, this essay will also assess the ethical questions posed by technology for translators. At the end of the essay are a conclusive summary of the entire discussion and an alphabetical list of the references cited herein.

Given that both translation ethics and journalistic translation are still two under-explored areas in translation research, this study sets out to discover the ethical model of Iranian translators’ performance in a climate of conflict. To achieve the objective, the researchers monitored and collected the translated journalistic texts concerning the Iranian nuclear negotiations published by a state-run news agency from three days before the Almaty I nuclear talks to three days after the Almaty II negotiations. The monitoring phase resulted in 20 pairs of STs and TTs. The comparative textual analysis indicated patterned and motivated ideological interference in translations which could be accounted for resorting to teleological models of ethics. Theoretical analysis revealed conceptual overlap between ethics and ideology that could explain the reduction of ethics into ideology in the news agency.
