Translation apps in a professional context; how can vocational education contribute to a responsible and ethical use of them?

During this interactive workshop for teachers in vocational education, we will take a closer look at the risks and opportunities of AI translation apps. By exploring real-life cases from the healthcare, legal, marketing and communication sectors, teachers will learn how to teach students to use translation apps responsibly and effectively in their future profession.

The workshop is an offspring of a research project of the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics and the lectorate Professional Communication in a Digitalizing Society of Zuyd University of Applied Sciences Maastricht, which led to a ‘machine translation literacy framework’.
