Abstract

The final chapter of this encyclopedia is on translation technology, which has been around for more than seven decades. In ‘Translation and Technology’, Professor Zhang Xiaojun of Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China first gives a review of computer-based translation systems and tools since the mid-20th century and discusses their positive and negative impact on society. He then presents some future trends in translation technology in which AI-powered machine translation would play a prominent role in a likely transition from computer-assisted human translation to human-assisted computer translation.
