Abstract
The development of information technology at the end of the 20th century fundamentally transformed people’s daily lives and greatly influenced education as well, actually not all the undergraduate students of translation have the skills to access, utilize, and benefit from the continually updating online information. This poses a challenge to traditional orthodox translation teaching which is still dominant. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce Web Information Retrieval (WIR) skills to the translation learners. This research focuses on the translation curriculum reform and the effects of incorporating WIR in translation teaching. From data tests, questionnaires, and curriculum experiment prove that WIR incorporating significantly improves translation quality, translators and translation instructors both request that WIR skills should be incorporated in the teaching of language Translation.

68.12% of students hold the view that they have no knowledge about web-aided translation technologies, while only 2% students attempted the finite experiment of WIR in translating
Summary
With the development and popularization of the internet, utilizing its potential assistance has become a really necessary skill for translators. Valuable information can be accessed through the internet, including text, image, audio and video. Finding ways that translators can quickly find the very information among the enormous resources available online has emerged as a vital topic of conversation and research among those in the field, as well as how they can promote the quality and efficiency of translation with the help of the internet. Search engines only partially meet users' information needs. The utility and ubiquity of web search is making WIR an increasingly important and prevalent research project. Not all the undergraduate students of translation have the skills of WIR to access, utilize, and benefit from the continually updating online information
