Abstract: The integration of digital technologies in translator education is
essential for equipping future professionals with the skills needed to navigate the
evolving translation landscape. This study explores the role of computer-assisted
translation (CAT) tools, artificial intelligence (AI) applications, and virtual exchange
programs in enhancing translator training. It examines both the benefits and
challenges of incorporating these technologies into educational programs and
assesses their impact on students' professional preparedness. The findings underscore
the importance of digital literacy, adaptive learning, and industry-aligned curricula in
developing competent, technology-savvy translators ready to meet the demands of a
rapidly changing industry.
