According to AI TIMES, DeepL's translation technology was introduced on October 14 to the curriculum of the Department of Interpreting and Translation at Chung-Ang University's Graduate School of International Studies. Chung-Ang University is the first case among domestic universities to bring in DeepL Pro for educational purposes, and students have been using it in class since March this year. The introduction focused on broadening education, which had centered on existing CAT tools that emphasized translation memory and terminology management, to also cover the AI-based translation workflows used in the real industry. Students will experience multiple translation processes on one platform and learn how to connect language knowledge and translation skills with the use of AI. The school aimed to prepare students for a changing work environment by exposing them to workplace tools before graduation, and the faculty also gained the ability to reflect new features and technological trends in class. The article highlighted the case as a scene showing that interpreter and translator education is beginning to include not only language and cultural expertise but also the ability to handle AI judiciously as a practical skill.
Perspective
This matter is important in that it reflects a move to narrow the gap between workplace practices and classroom instruction from the education stage onward. It is also a signal that human judgment, which determines translation quality, remains essential, while the ability to choose tools and refine outputs is increasingly required as well. In the end, it suggests that competitiveness in interpreting and translation is becoming difficult to explain through language ability alone, and that educational institutions may need to revisit curriculum design and evaluation methods as a whole.
