摘要：AbstractThe increase in international trade, the need for cooperation in such areas as ndustry, transportations, communications or entertainment, the proliferation of international institutions, and ultimately the enlargement of the European Union are some of the major factors which account for increasing and diversified marked demands for translations and for the ever-growing importance of the translation profession today. To be efficient on today‟s translation market, translation projects must meet challenging technological requirements and translators need to have a fresh input on speed, volume, and quality. The Departmentof Communication and Foreign Languages, which coordinates the Translation Program at Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania, has just introduced a new course on Electronic Tools for Translators for 3rd year students, particularly designed to prepare the modern translator for such a market. The present paper presents in detail all the steps taken in developing this new syllabus, its content, the teaching methods used, and its present and future challenges.
