This paper aims at describing the way in which online translation platforms can facilitate the process of training translators. Zooniverse, a website hosting a variety of citizen science projects in which everyone can take part, was used as an example of such a concept. The first section of this paper is focused on the history, idea and general description of the website. In section two the online translation platform, which is connected with Zooniverse, has been presented in detail with emphasis put on advantages and weak points. Ideas for practical application of Zooniverse’s localization platform have been outlined in section three. Results have shown that localization platforms hold a great potential in terms of providing training for trainee translators. This is mostly because they offer basic experience in terms of simple computer assisted translation technologies and access to translations into other languages that have been already submitted. They are also characterized by simplicity and accessibility, as the platform can be used from any place all over the world. Zooniverse can, therefore, be the basis for further research on how the potential of such websites can be harnessed for more effective translator training.

The article provides a glance at the continuing transformation in the profession of translators and its implications on translator training. The profile of the translatorhas never been unified but nowadays, following the pandemic situation in the year 2020, the profession undergoes a significant shift as a result of the economic situation and the effects of the pandemic restrictions on the condition of the labour market. The widespread use of technology and new requirements involving distance learning call for rethinking the aims of translator training. The primary purpose of the article is to signal the need for adapting translator training to foster better metacognitive skills that help translation students adapt to the evolving market. The article makes an attempt to look at the potential of distance translator training for introducing more professionalization into translator education. Moving outside the regular translation classroom to virtual training environments can in fact entail the learner transformation not only as regards technology immersion but also their autonomy.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional face-to-face learning was suddenly replaced by online learning in universities all over the world. This sudden switch posed a wide variety of challenges to teachers and students. This paper focuses on one teaching practice, teachers’ feedback, and on a students’ form of self-perception, self-efficacy beliefs, both inherent to the teaching-learning process, whether it occurs in the classroom or a virtual environment. An action-research mixed-method study was performed to analyze how teachers’ feedback can impact translation students’ self-efficacy beliefs in three educational modes: face-to-face lessons, blended learning and online learning. This study was performed in two phases. Firstly, a quasi-experimental field study was performed before the outbreak of the pandemic in three groups of the same course: one offered traditional classes, whereas the other two included blended learning. Following the essence of action-research, the results of this first phase were implemented in an online translation course during the pandemic. After comparing and contrasting the results obtained in these two phases, we can conclude that indirect, elaborate and dialogic feedback fostered the students’ self-efficacy beliefs, irrespective of the educational mode.

This article outlines the main tenets and the working cycle of Design Thinking, which is a problem-solving methodology. We argue that this methodology helps train qualities and skills that are particularly beneficial for students of translator education programmes. We recommend Design Thinking for translation teachers who subscribe to post-positivist, constructivist and other problem-based, participatory and collaborative educational approaches. The latter part of the article presents examples of classroom activities developed with the use of Design Thinking methodology. The activities focus mostly on communicative interactions between participants, since we believe that the major advantage of Design Thinking for the translation classroom is that it offers a structured scaffolding to improve classroom communication.

Celem artykułu jest przeanalizowanie współczesnego dyskursu w dziedzinie dydaktyki przekładu rozwijającego się w triadzie przedmiotowej dyskusji naukowej, wpływu norm tłumaczeniowych oraz debaty ogólnoedukacyjnej. Dyskurs ten został omówiony na wybranych przykładach: badań naukowych nad oczekiwaniami rynku wobec tłumaczy (Optimale), normy PN‑‑ EN 15038 oraz modelu kompetencji EMT. Artykuł podkreśla znaczenie realizmu zawodowego w kształceniu tłumaczy, polemizuje jednak z redukcjonistycznym postrzeganiem istoty tłumaczenia jako umiejętności „świadczenia usług tłumaczeniowych”. Polemika zilustrowana jest wynikami badań empirycznych dotyczących percepcji modelu kompetencji EMT oraz analizą procedury rekrutacyjnej dla tłumaczy unijnych.

The paper seeks to analyze the current discourse in the field of translator training, developing in a triad of academic discussion, impact of translation standards and general educational debate. The discourse is discussed from chosen perspectives: empirical research on market requirements concerning translators (Optimale), the EN 15038:2006 translation standard and the EMT competence model. The paper stresses the importance of professional realism in translator education yet argues with ascribing the “translation service provision” competence a superordinate role. The arguments advocating a broader approach, taking into account transferable skills, are illustrated with results of empirical research on the perception of the EMT competence model and an analysis of recruitment competitions for translators in the EU institutions.

This article is a review of the monograph entitled Perspektywy na przekład [Perspectives on translation], edited by Maria Piotrowska and published in 2021 by the Jagiellonian University Publishing House in Krakow. The book consists of two parts; after 4 articles in part 1, addressing the issues of translation and Translation Studies more comprehensively, part 2 contains seven chapters whose authors focus on specific types of translation and types of translation studies. Each chapter provides the reader with solid knowledge and each supplies an extensive bibliography. The monograph is conceived as a compendium of knowledge about translation and a handbook opening a future series of similar publications in Polish and English. In my opinion, the book is unquestionably useful in all three areas declared by the co-authors: translation theory and practice as well as translator education.

Niniejszy artykuł jest recenzją monografii pod red. Marii Piotrowskiej pt. Perspektywy na przekład, która ukazała się w 2021 roku nakładem Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w Krakowie. Książka składa się z dwóch części; po 4 artykułach w cz. 1 ujmujących kwestie przekładu i przekładoznawstwa bardziej całościowo, cz. 2 zawiera siedem rozdziałów, których autorzy pochylają się nad konkretnymi rodzajami przekładu i typami badań przekładoznawczych. Każdy rozdział zaopatruje czytelnika w rzetelną wiedzę i każdy opatrzony jest obszerną bibliografią. Monografia pomyślana jest jako kompendium wiedzy o przekładzie i podręcznik otwierający przyszłą serię podobnych publikacji w języku polskim i angielskim. W mojej ocenie praca ta wykazuje niekwestionowaną przydatność we wszystkich trzech deklarowanych przez współautorów obszarach: teorii, praktyce i dydaktyce przekładu.

One of the leading topics in translator and interpreter education is how to match the educational vision of the educators with that of the market and that of the students. The debate has been going on for more than two decades now, and it seems it is likely to occupy the researchers and practitioners in the nearest future. One aspect of the educational aspirations to make students active and successful players on the Language Service Provision market is entrepreneurship. The aim of this paper is to promote effective operationalization of this concept to help graduates not only find a job, but first of all make them self-directed in significant life choices.

Próba powiązania koncepcji dydaktyki translacji z potrzebami kształcenia odpowiadającymi wymaganiom rynku usług tłumaczeniowych oraz potrzebom rozwojowym samych studentów stanowi jeden z wiodących wątków toczącej się obecnie dyskusji w obszarze akademickiego kształcenia tłumaczy. Debata ta trwa już od ćwierćwiecza i wydaje się, że nadal będzie podejmowana przez teoretyków i praktyków dydaktyki translacji. Jednym z aspektów tak pojętej edukacji są cechy i umiejętności określane mianem przedsiębiorczości. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu promowanie skutecznej operacjonalizacji pojęcia przedsiębiorczości tak, by absolwenci studiów tłumaczeniowych (i innych związanych z komunikacją specjalistyczną) nie tylko potrafili znaleźć pracę, ale by – przede wszystkim – stawali się podmiotami swoich znaczących działań życiowych.
