Translators need to embrace new technologies
By

Technology is advancing rapidly in the translation and interpreting industry as well. Many may already be worried about when machines will replace humans. However, machines are unlikely to be able to replace a professional translator or interpreter for a long time, especially not for high-quality communication or context-bound text and localization. Nevertheless, the situation creates pressure, and those working in the field must embrace new technologies to serve their customers.

The International Federation of Translators (FIT) has drawn attention to this issue in their statement (link). It encourages translators to explore different technological tools and participate in their development. This helps translators to succeed.
