Digital technologies are widely used in various settings, including in translator training. The advancement of digital technologies, particularly translation technologies, has altered both translator training and professional setting. The present study investigates how these technologies can empower students in their learning environment. A group of 21 undergraduate translation students at Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University conducted a series of 12-week media translation projects, consisting of social media translation and subtitling. The study results were made based on their project reports and a questionnaire to determine their attitudes towards technologies, such as Aegisub and Memsource. Based on the findings, the students showed positive attitudes towards projects and technologies. Most of them see improvements in their confidence. The projects prepared them with sufficient translation and technical skills to become professional translators, including critical thinking and teamwork skills.

South-East Asia is suffering a rapid deterioration of the free press and Freedom of expression. According to the last report of Freedom in the World 2021, in the last few years, almost all the South-East Asian countries have experienced a reduction in Freedom of expression, and in certain cases, their rights have been restricted. What kind of effects do the media have on public opinion? How can disinformation, censorship, and media control manipulate public opinion? Is social media promoting the anti-democracy establishment? Does social media reduce the democratic quality of a country by limiting its expression through control? This paper is based on desk-based research, where literature on political history and the political history of using media has been reviewed and analyzed—with a comparative analysis, focusing on the data available on the three countries of interest: Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines, taking a comparative study the last election in 2019 in those countries. As a method, this study conducts a critical literature review with a historical approach. This study found that all the countries analyzed utilized the media to spread disinformation, war propaganda, and control. Borrowing from the Gramscian theory of hegemony, the paper argues that the theory of media and control can be used as a theoretical framework to examine the rule of media to manipulate and control the opinion public.
