“…Since the use of technology in professional settings seems to be associated with the conception of process automation, machine/mechanical translation (MT) was developed as an obvious example of such format in the field of natural language processing and translation in 1946 (Candel-Mora, 2016). It refers to "the use of a translation program to translate text without human input in the translation process" (Richards & Schmidt, 2010, p. 350).…”

“…They interact with the translator not only as a reference tool, but because they allow the direct insertion of the term from the database. They are also useful in maintaining the terminological consistency, "which means that the same term is always used with the same sense, and the same object or action is always described by the same term" (Candel-Mora, 2016;Sin-wai, 2017, p. 80).…”

“…It is increasingly employed by translation companies as an essential tool to do their business with high efficiency and productivity, by international organizations as a foundation for their global language solutions, by professional translators as a key element of their personal workflows, and by occasional users as a valuable tool of multilingual information mining. Therefore, the emergence of translation technology has completely disseminated translation and dramatically affected the way of processing, studying and teaching it (Bilić, 2020, Candel-Mora, 2016Malenova, 2019;Sin-wai, 2015;Suau-Jiménez & Ramírez-Polo, 2016).…”

This study attempted to investigate the effect of using Wordfast Anywhere computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool on developing the EFL translation skills of English majors whose inefficiency in such skills constituted the rationale of the present study. Participants (N = 48) were chosen at random from second year students enrolled in the English Department at the Faculty of Education, University of Sadat City, during the first semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 24) and a control one (n = 24). An EFL translation skills test was developed and administered before and after experimentation that lasted for seven weeks. The experimental group students were taught using Wordfast Anywhere while the control group students received regular instruction. Results revealed that students of the experimental group achieved significant improvement in EFL translation skills. Thus, using Wordfast Anywhere proved to have a positive effect on developing English majors' EFL translation skills.

Teaching and learning methodologies are constantly evolving, in order to contribute to the success of students' learning. This process is intended to be increasingly practical and real, so the implementation of methodologies such as projectbased learning (PBL) appears as important allies. This paper is particularly focused on the implementation of a PBL methodology in translation classes, presenting some previous cases that contributed with different perspectives on its application and development. Despite the contributions of these different approaches, this paper brings a different one focusing on the implementation of a case study supported by a PBL approach in the subject of Technical Translation at the Porto Accounting and Business School, a higher education institution in Portugal. The main goal was to provide a hands-on experience carried out in a digital environment by conducting and managing translation projects in all their stages. This methodology had a circular nature, allowing all students to experience the roles that the different actors in a translation project have and that will lead to their skills' development. Using preand posttests, as well as learning portfolios, we wanted to see whether or not the students would identify any of the underlying principles of PBL as personal learning outcomes. The methodology is detailed as well as the assessment results of the implemented strategy.
