BRIDGING WORDS AND TECH: A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON TECHNOLOGY’S ROLE IN TRANSLATION CURRICULA

Abstract

Translation technology has become a cornerstone of the translation industry, influencing not only professional practices but also the educational frameworks that prepare future translators. This paper examines the significance of technology in translation education through a survey conducted among students at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University and the University of Ljubljana. The survey aimed to capture, among other aspects, students' perceptions of the role of technology in translation, their confidence in using technological tools, and their interest in seeing more technology incorporated into their curriculum. Results indicate a high recognition of technology’s importance and a strong desire for greater emphasis on technological training within translation studies programs.
