Now Design an ideal curriculum that includes technology for translators at: –Undergraduate level –Post-graduate level Adapt this to a POSSIBLE curriculum in your own teaching environment

1. How far does a translator need Internet for information retrieval? On-line databases, dictionaries etc.? Corpora and terminology management know-how?

2. Which level of familiarity with TT does a translator need Translation processing in programme like SDL Standard version using Edit? Good understanding of how translation software works? Ability to use all tools in translation software?

3. When should the following be taught? Localization Sub-titling Dubbing Multimedia web-pages Others AT Undergraduate level? Post-graduate specializations?

4. Does a language services provider need to understand Corpora – monolingual, parallel & comparable? Terminology management? Localization? Project management? Natural Language Processing tools? HLT and Language Engineering?
