Integrating Generative AI into Translator Training: Challenges and Opportunities

Integrating GenAI into translator training offers significant potential but also presents substantial difficulties. As AI-driven translation systems become increasingly sophisticated, future translators must develop a nuanced understanding of how these technologies function and how to integrate them into their workflow. This paper investigates how GenAI can enhance translator training by improving workflow efficiency and helping students develop skills needed for the modern industry, while also addressing concerns about overreliance, ethics, and job security. It argues that digital resilience and a balanced skill set are essential for translators to thrive in an AI-enhanced professional landscape.
