Roundtable on How Recent AI Developments in Translation are Shaping the Translation Education in Hong Kong - Report

17 Jan 2025

The Hong Kong Translation Society, through the facilitation of Dr. Teresa Wang, co-organised along Metropolitan University, the "Roundtable on How Recent AI developments in Translation is Shaping the Translation Education in Hong Kong" on the 17th of January, 2025.

Programme directors from translation programmes in Hong Kong, including HKU, CUHK, CityU, PolyU, Lingnan University, HKBU, Hang Seng University, and HKMU, discussed the future of translation training and industry partnership with representatives from several companies such as Yao Shun, TransPerfect, Toppan Digital Language, and Quadra Technic ICS Ltd.

The event started by inviting programme directors to introduce their translation programmes and foreseeable challenges ahead. This was followed by a presentation by each of the four industry partners. They shared with us how recent AI developments in translation has been influencing their workflow, talent acquisition policies, and even responses from their clients under the new industry ecosystem still in its evolving stage. Participants responded with plenty of lively discussion, bringing together different perspectives.

This milestone event provided a timely opportunity to reflect on the impact of AI and to address important matters that the Society will take forward.
