Abstract:

This Element explores transformations of translator education in the
context of market forces and digital advancements. It firstly examines
complex interactions among the translation industry's trends, notably
the increasing role of AI in performing translation tasks that humans
traditionally did, evolving market demands and specialised needs of
the workplace. Based on this, this Element evaluates how university
curricula reflect these transformations, including the pedagogical
approaches in translator education that integrate university standards
with professional competence. The crux of the discussion centres on
the interplay between university education and graduates' employment
readiness in changing markets. Finally, after synthesising existing
translation competence models, the Element culminates with a revised
framework for translation competence. This framework moves beyond a
focus on skills transfer or textual negotiation to encompass the
diverse competencies required of future translators across various
professional contexts, ensuring that translator education remains
impactful amid ongoing technological and market changes.
