Abstract

The study aims to explore the content aspect of mastering CAT-tools in the system of future translators’ training.

The article analyzes the factors ensuring future translators’ mastery of CAT tools. Based on expert recommendations and considering these aspects, a special course “CAT technologies in translation activities” using the CAT system Trados is proposed. The advantages and functionalities of using SDL Trados technology are identified.

It is concluded that there is a need to introduce a special course into the professional training of translators aimed at ensuring the necessary potential of mastering CAT tools and teaching them the basics of working with these programs which would increase the overall effectiveness of training and create a basis for the development of professionals competitive the modern labor market.
