The Professional Translator in the 21st Century – Education and Competence

Summary/Abstract: The role of the professional translator in our globalized world has changed considerably over the last few decades, and it has been difficult for educators to keep pace with the demands created by technology and the new expectations of clients. This paper will reflect on these circumstances and the problems they have posed for both the profession and universities. It will then go on to describe the initiative of the EMT – European Master’s in Translation Network and the competences this network believes are essential for the professional translator. Finally, it will reflect on the broader context in which these competences are required.
