Didactic requirements for fostering the growth of future translators� technology proficiency within the framework of their localization-focused training

Abstract

Relevance. The transition of society�s spheres of activity to new technological systems implies the need to introduce changes in educational standards, as well as to change approaches to the professional education of future industry specialists, including in the training of professional translators. Purpose. The study aims to identify the pedagogical conditions necessary for the development of future translators� technological competence, especially in the context of their localisation-based training. Methodology. The study applied systemic-structural and interdisciplinary approaches, as well as dialectical, historical, and legal comparative, logical and semantic and other methods. Results. The study found that in the context of the current realities, not only the classical professional knowledge of future translators needs to change, but also the adaptation of pedagogical programmes to the rapid development of technological processes. The active expansion of contacts between different countries of the world and the increasing importance of developing information communication between representatives of different countries make the latest technologies particularly valuable in areas designed to address global and international issues. One of these areas of professional activity is translation, which includes not only translation technologies but also translation education in the context of training professional translators. Conclusions. The complexity of the translation process due to its technology requires the development of the technological competence of professional translators. The practical significance of this study lies in the possibility of implementing the results achieved in the process of improving the content of existing or opening new educational programmes for future professional translators to adapt them to the requirements of the modern environment.
