Overview

Systematic review reveals curriculum models and gaps in translator education, highlighting the need for holistic machine translation post-editing integration.

Key Points

Synthesize peer-reviewed literature on integrating machine translation and post-editing (MTPE) into translator training curricula and identify existing pedagogical challenges.
Conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed studies using PRISMA selection guidelines.
Analyzed literature across four core dimensions: methodological and language configurations, pedagogical objectives, curriculum design models, and persistent training gaps.
Scholarship on MTPE demonstrates steady expansion and methodological diversification but maintains a heavy English-centric bias.
Curricular approaches range from standalone courses to hybrid modules targeting error identification and strategic editing, though they frequently overemphasize technical skills at the expense of cognitive and affective dimensions.
Identified persistent disparities in technological tool access across non-English language pairs and under-resourced learning environments.
