21st Century Technologies you cannot keep ignoring: CAT/MT and Virtual Interpreting

You must log in before you can access most features of this event.

Schedule:This session ended at 12:40
Description:

Some translators and interpreters have been complacent in the past decades, dismissing the advent of tectonic shifts in the means of production and delivery of translation and interpreting services. The world has become digital, instant, mobile and global. To compete in this world, and remain professionally relevant in the coming decades, we must learn to work with the technological tools of the day. Instead of resisting technology, translators and interpreters should embrace technology.

Attendees will:
  • Visualize how transcendental CAT tools are for translators in the 21st Century and anticipate the advent of Machine Translation
  • Discover and list the remote interpreting technologies needed for Phone/Video/Web Interpreting in today's world.
  • Create a personal “2014 skills set upgrade plan"

    • This session will be followed by a LIVE Q&A session with the presenter. Attendees can submit questions on this page.

    MT Google Sep 30, 2013

    There is one big & basic problem with MT - and it is the secrecy required by the most customers... What to do with it?

    I don't see a legitimate reason why CAT tools and MT Sep 30, 2013

    should not be ignored by the translation theory -- they are not a part of linguistics, but rather a part of some support services within the same realm as word processing.

    MT for professional purposes -- "Just Close it and Forget it".

    MT for any other purposes -- "Let's Have Fun."

    CAT tools and MT are not a part of linguistics, but... Sep 30, 2013

    I do not thing that we should "just close and forget" CAT tools. They are sometimes a problem, but are very useful when especially a translation between two languages of the same language group is concerned.
