Meeting Description:
The aim of this symposium is to explore the use
of digital technology in translator training
and current IT requirements in the translation
industry. The focus is put on how to best
maximise student employability by keeping
teaching syllabuses in line with the changing
roles of the translation profession.
Confirmed speakers are: Professor Anthony Pym,
Dr Minako O'Hagan, Reinhard Schäler and Jost
Zetzsche.
The symposium will explore the pedagogical and
professional implications of using translation
technology and it will examine what is
happening in academia and in the market today.
It will also examine the impact of the digital
age on teaching methods, curriculum and
syllabus design, as a result of the
requirements of the translation industry.
Besides the academic aspect, the symposium will
bring together practitioners from international
organisations (DGT, EU) to discuss the impact
of translation technology (including
Audiovisual Translation tools) on the
profession.
Major software companies will also be invited
to discuss the latest developments in this
field.
