“…With technology changing the ways and means in which people communicate and work, the question of how translation technology is altering the translator's work systems is very important in contemporary translation studies. The effects of the application of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools appear far-reaching and thus valid for translators and translation teachers (Pietrzak & Kornacki, 2021). Translators can enjoy various advantages in their daily work if they are accustomed to the characteristics of CAT technology.…”

“…Translators can enjoy various advantages in their daily work if they are accustomed to the characteristics of CAT technology. With the advent of technology, it is possible for CAT tools to support translators in two major areas, namely proper translation and workflow management (Pietrzak & Kornacki, 2021). Also, according to Alonso and Calvo (2015), translators would likely get help through digitalization, which can enhance their capabilities by creating an environment using creative and learning dimensions with better outcomes; thus, it will avoid the current trends in the technologization of translation methods (Biau-Gil & Pym, 2006).…”

“…Furthermore, new technological solutions have enabled new ways and means of management, communication, and collaboration in the field of translation industry. The innovations and the continuous development of CAT technology have a huge economic impact on the services that support cross-language communication (Pietrzak & Kornacki, 2021). However, there are certain limitations linked to CAT technology and these tools must be used as support tools, but not be used blindly.…”

This study proposes an adaptive methodology to overcome localization translation challenges. The objective of the study is to generate a theoretical framework for identifying localization translation problems and ultimately propose a user-centred and agile-based methodology to minimize translation errors. The main research question that this paper attempts to answer is the question of “What would be the best theoretical framework for identifying current translation problems and addressing the convergence of translation and localization according to the new developments in informatics and communication technologies?” To answer this question, it was important to dismantle the notions of translation, translation theory, and localization. Based on the revised new definitions adapted to the new socio-technological context of the present digital era, the challenges can be identified and addressed through the formulation of a new methodology. The new methodology involves several steps, including the selection of recognized techniques like the “rich points” model to identify the localization translation challenges, a set of quality criteria to evaluate the projects, and adopting a user-centred approach and agile methodology for the project management of localization translation projects in order to assure the satisfaction of the stakeholders and a rapid adaptation to changes in the requirements. The proposed methodology must be validated in the future by applying it to concrete cases of localization translation projects and assessing its utility and performance. Thus, it would be useful in the future for improving localization translation projects.

“…The activation of personal resources is of paramount importance in the context of translation technology (see Pietrzak and Kornacki, 2020), utilised both in the translation classroom and translator's workshop. Current developments in translator-oriented IT demand the development of students' self-awareness (in terms of already possessed skills), technological flexibility (ibid.…”

“…Technology, previously feared and frequently unheard of in the translation classroom, has become a fully-fledged medium of communication that allows for learning, exchanging information, thoughts, ideas, and social support between trainers and students. However, it is important to draw a line between translation technology (see Pietrzak and Kornacki, 2020) and technology used to train translators. The first one could be referred to as utility technology, involving all the tools that enable or facilitate the translation process.…”

A learner-based approach to translator training has already been recognised and discussed in translator education for the last few years (González-Davies 2004; Kelly 2005; Kiraly 1995, 2000; Massey et al. 2019). With the main focus on learning rather than training and the translator rather than the product or the process of translation, the observed trend in translation studies can be called ‘translator studies’ (Chesterman 2009). The tendency has been for the teacher-centred approach to be gradually replaced by manners of teaching which favour learner autonomy (Gonzalez Davies 2004). Nonetheless, due to the multiple demands that translator teachers must fulfil, they still happen to be regarded as the main active performers in the educational process. Invaluable as the teacher’s agency is for shaping the educational reality that translation trainees experience, translator education requires ensuring that student-oriented education actually involves freeing teachers and students from their traditional roles, to break out of the routine in which they have been rooted for years. It is worth emphasising that the roles and responsibilities of the translator teacher and student are equally important. The article looks at the translation educational process with the main focus on trainees who are supposed to build their career in the uncertain and indeterminate translation industry of the future.
