Focusing on metacognitive aspects of translation and translator education, this book presents an exploratory study of translation graduates and their professional development. It reveals that many graduates opt for careers outside of professional translation, despite increasing demand and technological advancements. The findings highlight the influence of self-concept on academic performance, career choices, job satisfaction, and perceived success. This work is particularly relevant for educators and researchers in translation studies, emphasizing translator competence and professional pathways.

This book explores the impact of applying computer-assisted (CAT) tools in freelance translation toward better understanding translators' strategies, preferences, and challenges in using new technologies and identifying areas of enhancement in translator training.

«The volume reflects latest trends and developments in the field of translator and interpreter training research, reconciling both theoretical and empirical approaches. The strength of the edited volume lies in its thematic and conceptual consistency, presentation and application of a variety of innovative methodologies and approaches and providing interesting, research-based practical solutions that can be effectively used in the classroom. I am deeply convinced that the volume constitutes a valuable, thought-provoking and useful contribution to the field that will be of interest to the community of researchers and educators.» Dr hab.
