세계화, 정보화에 따른 번역시장의 특성과 번역사 교육

Abstract

This paper describes the changes in translator training as the current translation market factors change. Translation Studies is a science in which its practical aspects are highlighted more because it deals with knowledge and skills which can be practically applied in the field. This means the science is influenced by market factors where or whenever it is applied. In fact, translation market factors have had an influence on Translation Studies externally and internally. As the demand for translators increased, the number of university-level institutions offering translation education dramatically rose. Other changes have also occurred in the subject of Translation Studies and in the methodology of translator training. Now unbridled globalization and information and communication technology govern our daily lives and world markets. This global phenomenon also affects the translation market. This paper is concerned with the changes in translation market factors caused by globalization and information and communication technology and offers suggestions for what should be taught in the translator training.
