ABSTRACT

This chapter reports on the findings of a survey carried out among translation practitioners in Oman to investigate the uptake of computer-assisted translation (CAT) technologies. Findings indicate a low level of CAT tool adoption that is paralleled by a similarly low demand for such technologies in the local translation market. The discussion addresses the implications of these findings for stakeholders, with a focus on higher education institutions (HEIs). The chapter advocates that HEIs, rather than limit their role to enhancing CAT modules in their curricula, should in this context engage with corporate clients to raise their awareness of CAT technologies and of the benefits they can generate for their businesses.
