THE ROLE OF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TRANSLATION INDUSTRY

Abstract

Annotation: The different aspects of modern life have led to the need for more efficient methods of translation. At the present time the demand for translations is not satisfied because there are not enough human translators. But given the complexity of the phenomena that underlie the work of a human translator, it would be absurd to claim that a machine could produce a target text of the same quality as that of a human being. However, modern translation industry has recently perfected production of translations in high volumes and at a high level of quality by using cutting-edge language technology combined with innovative, future-oriented management methods in ways that where simply unimaginable only a few short years ago. Again, advances in information technology (IT) have combined with modern communication requirements to foster translation automation. Thus, the internet with its universal access to information and instant communication between users has created a physical and geographical freedom for translators that were inconceivable in the past.
