As part of the continuous efforts to enrich the teaching process and strengthen the link between academic theory and professional practice, the Translation and Interpreting Study Program organized a training lecture with guest lecturers, focusing on the main challenges of translation and interpreting in the contemporary professional context.

The lecture was delivered by representatives of the company Translation Center, who shared their extensive professional experience in the field of translation and interpreting. They provided students with a detailed overview of the realities of the labor market, international quality standards, translation project management, and the importance of professional ethics in the practice of this profession.

During the training lecture, various issues related to the practical challenges of translation and interpreting were addressed in a structured manner, including terminological difficulties, cultural and contextual constraints, time pressure, as well as the need for accuracy and linguistic coherence. The guest lecturers illustrated effective strategies for dealing with these challenges through concrete examples drawn from professional practice.

An important part of the activity was dedicated to the practical use of professional tools in the Translation and Interpreting Laboratory, where students had the opportunity to work directly with specialized equipment and technologies used in professional practice. During this practical session, the use of interpreting equipment was demonstrated, and hands-on exercises were carried out to strengthen students’ technical and professional skills.

The trainers and guest lecturers praised the students for their level of preparation, active engagement throughout the lecture, and their ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical situations. They emphasized that the students demonstrated solid linguistic competence, professional readiness, and a strong interest in further professional development in the field of translation and interpreting.

The training lecture was characterized by productive interaction between the guest lecturers and the students, contributing to the deepening of practical knowledge and raising awareness of the real demands of the profession. This activity represents an important contribution to the professional formation of students of the Translation and Interpreting program and a meaningful step toward strengthening long-term cooperation between the academic institution and the professional sector.
