The Translation Software module introduces first-year students to the technological foundations of contemporary translation practice. It aims to familiarize learners with the evolution from traditional translation methods to computer-assisted environments. Students are introduced to the core concepts of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) and Machine Translation (MT).
The module develops practical skills in using translation tools to enhance consistency, productivity, and terminological accuracy. It also encourages critical reflection on the role of technology in shaping translation strategies and professional ethics.
Through guided practice and in-class activities, students learn how to manage bilingual files, create and maintain glossaries, and evaluate software output. By the end of the course, learners acquire foundational digital competencies essential for academic training and future professional integration in the translation industry.
