“…Being entrepreneurial is a recurrent topic in the freelance training literature (see Jenner & Jenner, 2010;McKay, 2011). The Competence Framework of the European Master's in Translation (EMT, 2017) also mentions business practices under 'Service Provision', and there have been useful proposals for how professional environments can be replicated in translation programmes (Buysschaert, Fernández-Parra, Kerremans, Koponen, & Van Egdom, 2018). However, the business aspects of work fragmentation and efforts to promote translators' leadership have lately arguably come second to the notion of knowing how to use, assess and build translation technologies.…”

The use of machine translation (MT) in professional translation tasks can change not only how translators work, but also how projects are managed and the expectations they entail across translation supply chains. Previous research has looked extensively into translators' attitudes to MT but has often ignored important aspects of how translators' views interact with those of other language industry stakeholders. This article presents a contrastive analysis of attitudes to MT which covers management and production perspectives. The discussion draws on semi-structured interviews which were thematically coded and qualitatively examined. The study shows how MT adds uncertainty to translation production networks. It argues that the challenges posed by MT are exacerbated by how the current makeup of the language industry restricts translators' field of influence to texts while possibly alienating them from wider aspects of business strategy. The article makes two suggestions. First, it calls for increased translator involvement in the management aspects of service provision. Second, it emphasises the need for a deeper discussion of MT which, rather than framing the technology itself as a potential 'threat', addresses broader societal issues involving misguided perceptions and mismatched expectations.

“…During the last decade, a dozen of EU universities implemented STAs to involve students in teacher-supervised translation units mimicking professional agencies and leveraging on learning-by-doing (Buysschaert et al, 2018) to implement situated translation (Kr€ uger and Serrano Piqueras, 2015). STAs help students to learn professional practices but lack of standardisation and suffer from heterogeneous educational offerings, multiple configurations, different ways to engage students, and not systematised approaches to assess pedagogical effectiveness and collaborative work/learning outcomes.…”

PurposeBefore COVID-19 pandemic, translation students in higher education attended courses on computer-assisted translation to acquire operational knowledge of professional software, without experiencing collaborative/interactive learning. In few European universities skills labs were introduced to offer fieldwork-like activities, but without shared modelling standards and mainly held in presence for few consecutive days. As the COVID-19 pandemic further deprived students of crucial educational experiences, the purpose of this paper is to present an online collaborative learning environment exploiting a customised combination of information and learning applications the students already experienced during the pandemic to smoothen their learning curve and increase the educational effectiveness.Design/methodology/approachA multi-framework methodology to build and operate a computer-supported online collaborative skills lab for translation students is proposed. Reference standards and guidelines are leveraged to provide participants with a common knowledge ground, to activate the computer-supported collaborative learning perspective, and to ensure an appropriate simulation fidelity.FindingsAn end-to-end implementation of the proposed approach along with educational effectiveness analysis performed via complementary assessment strategies is presented. Achieved outcomes highlight significant participation rate, consistent improvement in technical and soft skills at both individual and collective levels, and clear activation of collaborative learning dynamics.Practical implicationsEvery master degree in translation teaching can adopt this approach by complying with the proposed guidelines.Originality/valueThe proposed multi-framework approach is novel and applied to a teaching sector where it is highly needed to fill a pre-existing gap.

“…Later on, the STB has been continuously implemented in translation training institutions throughout Europe. As a way of stimulating cooperation and exchanging best practices, a number of institutions decided to join efforts in the International Network of Simulated Translation Bureaus (INSTB) in 2015 (Buysschaert, Fernández-Parra, Kerremans, Koponen & van Egdom, 2018). Some universities, such as Ghent University, Turku University, etc., in several European countries like Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom increase graduate employability by offering students practical, market-oriented experience during their studies.…”

The education program for the Master of Translation and Interpreting has drawn much attention in recent years in China due to the increasing demand for translators and interpreters with the rapid development of global trade. The program has cultivated many talents, but problems that occurred also deserve attention. This paper explores the the common issues in the “Science and Technology Translation” course for the Master of Translation and Interpreting, including the lack of actual practice from the translation market, the shortage of professional knowledge for both teachers and students in many special fields, and the insufficiency of up-to-date materials in Chinese universities, especially those inland ones. Based on some Chinese scholars’ research and the mode of the Simulated Translation Bureau of some European universities, the study aims at proposing a countermeasure of the Simulated Translation Project from several aspects such as its particular purposes, features, application procedures, and advantages and disadvantages. This study is qualitative and the observation results collected are based on the performance of different Groups in the past three years from 2020 to 2022. After the practice in three spring semesters, the study concluded that the countermeasure is not only effective in solving the problems, improve students’ language service consciousness and translation competence, but also valuable in guiding students to choose suitable projects materials to construct an interdiscipliary vision, guarantee the ideological and political education function of the course for the contribution to the communication between China and other countries.
