Agency, Competence and GenAI in Translation and Translator Education
As the age of neural machine translation (NMT) has matured, agency seems to have emerged as a fulcrum around which the value of professional human translation can be judged. However, some studies suggest that more recent generative AI (GenAI) systems indicate a potential for collaboration and reciprocity that bears resemblances with human agency, for instance, in the nascent deployment of AI agents in cognitive behaviour therapy and social skills…
Re-framing conceptual metaphor translation research in the age of neural machine translation
The exploratory study reported in this article is predicated on the notion that human translators’ cognition represents a key added value over disembodied artificial intelligence. It re-frames the methods, data and results of a precursor study, and supplements them with additional data and analyses to develop a new cognitive perspective on re-positioning human translation competence and translators’ expertise in the age of neural machine translat…
Applied translation studies and transdisciplinary action research
Proceeding from accepted shared definitions of applied linguistics that stress its practical, real-world orientation and instrumentality, this article seeks to move the focus from the interdisciplinarity that has been identified as the nexus of translation studies in the past to how its applied branches should systematically engage with an emerging transdisciplinary research paradigm. It argues that the shift can and will be a key factor, challen…
Investigating information literacy
Although not always labeled as such, information literacy has been implicitly recognized as a key aspect of translation competence by practitioners, teachers, and scholars. Yet, researchers have only recently begun to systematically examine information behavior in the translation processes of students and professionals to determine how translation-centered information literacy develops. The questions of how and whether translators use the tools a…
Investigating demands on language professionals
Die professionellen Anforderungen an Sprachexperten sind in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen und umfassen heute nicht mehr nur das Übersetzen im traditionellen Sinne sondern unter anderem auch die Revision von eigenen Übersetzungen und Texten, von fremden Übersetzungen sowie von Texten nicht-muttersprachlicher Autoren. Am Arbeitsplatz zeigt sich dieser Wandel in der Entwicklung neuer Software-Applikationen und neuer Geschäftsprozesse in vielen …
Process-Oriented Translator Training and the Challenge for E-Learning
Recent cognitive models present translation competence as an open-ended process encompassing a number of mutually dependent, interacting sub-components, which seems to have resulted in a shift towards process-orientation in translator training and created a favourable climate for introducing social constructivist methods to translator education. This paper considers the emergence of a new translator training paradigm and the challenge it poses fo…
