Abstract

Translation studies is increasingly recognized as an independent field of study that is rapidly developing in close connection with linguistics, cultural studies, communication, and technology. This article analyzes the modern trends in the development of translation studies, namely the introduction of artificial intelligence and digital technologies into the translation process, the improvement of machine translation systems, the widespread use of post-editing methods, as well as new forms of translation in the socio-cultural context — localization, audiovisual translation (subtitling and dubbing), and the development of specialized translations in science and technology. The article also emphasizes that in addition to the linguistic competence of translators, intercultural communicative skills and the ability to use information technologies are an integral part of the modern translation process. Within the framework of the article, trends in the integration between translation theory and practice, changes in translation quality assessment criteria, and modern requirements for the translation profession are analyzed in depth. The article also focuses on the increasing strategic importance of translation activities in the context of globalization, intercultural dialogue, and a sharp increase in the flow of information. According to the research results, the field of translation studies is being formed on the basis of a multidisciplinary approach, in which the translator appears not only as a language intermediary but also as an intercultural mediator, analyst, and a specialist managing technological tools. This article serves as a useful scientific resource for researchers, practicing translators, students, and master’s students in the fields of translation theory, linguistics, cultural studies, and information technology.
