Abstract
The crucial role played by audiovisual translation (AVT) in contemporary international communication invites translator trainers to contemplate the different possibilities available when training translators for the modern mass-communication market. The acquisition of new skills in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a challenge that instructors of subtitling and trainees must face up to. In online multimedia courses, the use of digital technology is an imperative, but professional computer programs are expensive and educational licences are often unavailable. In this situation, how can students get the hands-on training they need? In response to this situation, some academic institutions try to generate their own in-house solutions.
The author wishes to express her thanks for the research grant awarded by the Generalitat de Catalunya, 2003MQD 00062.
