Episode 1: Why Universities Should Teach CAT Tools & the Role of AI in Translation

Описание: Welcome to the very first episode of the Commute Chats with Joy Ngaphu podcast. What a joy to have you come along for this journey.

In this episode, we dive into an honest, fun, and relaxed conversation about a topic close to our hearts — the importance of teaching CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools to students, and how new professionals can approach these tools and AI in the language industry.

We talk about why universities should give students a clear, vivid picture of CAT tools early on, which free tools are available to get started, and how to use AI responsibly as a translator or client.

As two friends and colleagues, Siya and I share both differing and similar views about several aspects of the language industry — especially in the South African context — helping upcoming language professionals to thrive in this industry.

If you’re a student, a new professional, or just curious about translation, CAT tools, and AI, this conversation is for you!
