This Element explores transformations of translator education in the context of market forces and digital advancements. It firstly examines complex interactions among the translation industry's trends, notably the increasing role of AI in performing translation tasks that humans traditionally did, evolving market demands and specialised needs of the workplace. Based on this, this Element evaluates how university curricula reflect these transformations, including the pedagogical approaches in translator education that integrate university standards with professional competence. The crux of the discussion centres on the interplay between university education and graduates' employment readiness in changing markets. Finally, after synthesising existing translation competence models, the Element culminates with a revised framework for translation competence. This framework moves beyond a focus on skills transfer or textual negotiation to encompass the diverse competencies required of future translators across various professional contexts, ensuring that translator education remains impactful amid ongoing technological and market changes.

In the fast-evolving age of digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI), news discourse plays a pivotal role in shaping cultural and political narratives and public understanding of significant global events by disseminating meaning that is constructed, contested, and reinterpreted by news workers and audiences.Chinese News Discourse in the Digital Era unpacks how meaning is generated and circulated in Chinese news media to foster mutual understanding, highlighting the interplay between communication, journalism, linguistics, translation, political science, and digital platforms. The evolution in media and technology has reshaped global journalism, including China, demanding new skills such as multimedia storytelling and data analysis from journalists and translators. This volume examines the intersection of news media, discourse, language, translation, and culture, as well as communication pedagogy, which underpins the construction and negotiation of meaning in news discourse through various means in communication and education.This book provides useful insights for scholars, students, and policymakers interested in Chinese linguistics, news discourse, media and communication, and translation.

This book investigates the market-driven transformation of the higher education sector and the response given by the translation programmes in the UK and China, two vastly different social and economic contexts. It provides an in-depth look at six selected case studies, critically analysing how social, economic, and political factors have affect curriculum designs in different translation programmes. This innovative volume contributes to the development of knowledge in an important area of translation studies and opens a new way for providing both cross-national and cross-disciplinary perspectives in analysing the curricula of translation programmes.
