Abstract. The article deals with the issues of improving the technological
training of translators by introducing innovative elements within special courses
or modules. A unification of the study of the same key operations of managing
terminological resources in automated translation systems, which are used to
support both simultaneous interpretation and translation, is proposed. The
analysis of software products from the category of CAI (Computer-Assisted
Interpreting) and CAT (Computer-assisted translation) for the revealing common
characteristics in the aspect of working with terminological resources is made.
An attempt has been made to optimize the technological training of translators
for performing operations of search, selection, structuring, import, export of
terminology, which is organized in the form of specialized terminological bases.
The expediency of studying by future translators at least one of the software
products related to САІ, one to cloud-based САТ, and one to desktop САТ is
justified. The principles on which the process of optimizing the content and
organizing the technological training of translators should be based are
determined.
Keywords: Terminological Resources, Terminological Bases, CAT, CAI,
Technological Training of Translators.
1 Introduction
1.1 The problem statement
With the rapid development of information technologies, they are widely introduced in
all areas of professional activity, even in those where their use was not decisive for the
effective achievement of high results. These technologies have already become an
integral part of the translation technologies, but the area of simultaneous interpretation,
until recently, had little in common with the achievements that can be drawn from them.
However, the day-to-day work of an interpreter is becoming more diverse, requiring
new ways to solve complex professional tasks. The usual functions of the translator are
