The Translation Center is continually conducting research and publishing its findings. We are constantly testing new translation software tools and databases, as well as developing new courses and exams to test/certify translators. We also look at extra-linguistic factors that influence translation, such as cultural differences and shifting markets.

In sum, the Translation Center blends academics and service in a dynamic fashion that keeps the Center on the cutting edge of the field. Research influences training, which in turn impacts service, and vice versa. All combine to improve the skills of our translators, who then can better serve our clients and meet your communication needs.
