The translators of the future will also have to evolve

Some will believe that as a profession it will become extinct, optimists argue that Machine Translation will never replace a human translator and professional.

Machine Translation, CAT Tools and Artificial Intelligence, the challenges that are being imposed to translation companies have been identified and put translation among those professions that have changed the most in the past decade. Some will believe that as a profession it will become extinct, optimists argue that Machine Translation will never replace a human translator and professional.

Claudia Mirza, CEO and co-founder of Akorbi, is the author of the text “Translators of the Future: What Skills Do You Need?”, an approach you need to read about, regardless of your opinion, that here in AP|PORTUGAL - Tech Language Solutions we recommend.

“I already see a major shift from the need for traditional human translation services to the need for content writers, trans-creators, content moderators, video editors, marketing researchers and much more”, is one of the many answers you'll find in the text “Translators of the Future: What Skills Do You Need?” present in Globalization & Localization Association (GALA).

It is true that the profession of Translation will suffer alterations and these changes could lead to several opportunities for professionals of the translation sector. But, it will be necessary to accompany these changes and prepare for them.
