Description
This chapter provides a brief outline of language technologies applied to translation and interpreting with a view to identifying research challenges and opportunities. One of our main conclusions is that, in order to develop suitable products and considering the rapid and exponential growth of technology, the changing needs and expectations of professional translators and interpreters must be constantly monitored with survey studies. Research should also keep other relevant topics on the spotlight, such as subjective perceptions about technology, technology used by both translators and interpreters, technology specifically oriented to translators or to interpreters, technology-enriched lifelong training and formal education, and the potential of AI and augmented reality for the profession.
