Abstract

This paper analyzes the gap between the translation curriculum for undergraduate English majors in China and the market demand, and highlights the importance of information management competence in translation. Information management serves translators in the adequate and efficient use of information technologies to increase the speed and quality of translation, hence improved translation competence. An investigation was conducted to learn students’ information behaviors, aiming at shedding light on translation teaching. The findings indicate that knowledge of information management should be placed emphasis on and systematically integrated into translation curriculum, which may get students well prepared for their future workplace as independent professionals.
