Machine translation, specialized languages, market research, language service providersAbstract
Technology and translation are closely linked through the rapid development of CAT tools, machine translation (MT) and artificial intelligence (AI). These elements are undoubtedly leading to a redefinition of the traditional concept of "translation" and of the translator's role(s). Specialized languages are essential in this development as they that are the testing platform in its overwhelming expansion. Behind this process, there are translators, linguists, engineers, terminologists, web designers, programmers and so on. An endless list of professionals whose limits of their activity are no longer clear. Thus, new profiles or adaptations of the existing ones arise to cover the new demands and market needs. The aim of this article is to analyze some of these new challenges and their consequences on the basis of studies on the training of translators, expert reports on the development of MT and the results of market studies.
