Abstract

Since the outbreak of World War II and USA rush to spy on Russian vessels, industrial translation has been evolving at a breakneck speed so as to cross the communication barrier between nations. On this journey, one thing becomes clear: diverse technologies have emerged that in turn have increased productivity and quality in translation. In fact, innovative technological solutions to the age-old problem of the language barrier is an absolute must as human and international communication is progressively mediated through technology like smartphone applications and professional business communication platforms. Despite the fact the translation market offers now more options, only a limited number of technology trends will undoubtedly continue through 2021 and beyond. In other words, computer-assisted translation tools and machine translation seem to be the most dominant trends. However, these tools also represent significant challenges and uncertainties for the translation profession and the industry.
