Abstract

The main purpose of teaching translation is to help translation trainees develop their translation competence to meet the requirement of translation tasks. Traditional translation teaching practice has focused on the sub-competences such as language competence, textural competence and cultural competence, which cannot meet the needs of development of information technology in the digital age, particularly the development of translation technologies in the translation industry by applying artificial intelligence, cloud computing and big data. Thus, the parameters of translation competence must conform to the change of translation practice. Aside from traditional parameters, which, undoubtedly, are still essential for translator training, other sub-competences concerning information technology are suggested to be included in the spectrum of translation competence in the digital age. Based on this consideration, it is of great significance to enquire into the parameters of translation competence in the digital age. It is observed that, apart from the traditional parameters of translation competence, information literacy is very crucial. It includes searching quotient, text processing, the ability to use computer aided translation (CAT) tools and post editing.
