Submission Description

Translation has been impacted with the dynamic digital world and globalisation; it can be said that digital skill will become an essential for future translators due to the rapid development of technology in translation. The article investigates the changing trend in translation education in Indonesia with specific reference to the use of CAT tools and software at a tertiary level. This research illustrates that CAT tools can help prepare students for the digital world of translation and improve translation quality through greater accuracy and efficiency. Using interview and photovoice, the study explores students’ responses to this change, discovering both their engagement with student work results as well as educational objectives versus industry expectations. The results highlight how important it is to shape digital literacy towards digital natives’ translation students in the Indonesian context, enabling them to adapt with the changing demands of globalised market involving more reliance on technology.
