Inspiring excellence in translation technology education

Teaching translation technology

Whatever a student’s career aspirations are, finding an academic course that includes vocational training, can make one university much more desirable over another. Increasingly, universities supplement their language degree and masters courses with vocational modules and internships to support their students taking their language skills forward into a professional career.  For any new graduate entering the world of commercial translation and localization, they will find that Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tools are now accepted practice in a translating business.
