The globalization and localization collaboration have made the work of translators more important now than ever. For, as people from across the globe communicate ever more frequently, foreign language curriculum’s with translation training as an elective part of the course become that much more important to facilitate successful communication between all people. Also, the stats and increased vacancies of translators globally have encouraged students to take language learning with translation as the most rewarding career. Seeing this, top universities and institutes have shown an updated change in their curriculum by integrating translations curriculum into the regular foreign language learning curriculum for those students who wants to learn a foreign language and want to become a translator too. Also, for those who already knows a foreign language a certified elective translation course is being offered as a new way of dealing with the curricular subjects in hand. Many universities are effective at equipping students via its language courses by involving translation as a part of the courses to be successful translators and interpreters and connect them to future employers by their placement services.
Since the active involvement of students in all aspects of a language course is to see a career in Foreign Language <> English (F<>E) translations, therefore as stated above, now a days there is a focus on (F<>E) translation in the curriculum by many institutes and universities who offer a full time graduate and post graduate programs in foreign languages. These courses deal with foreign language speaking skills, writing skills and translation skills which give the participants to know the ways of written communication to understand and appreciate them better.
Translation training is often available through elective courses. This curriculum is regularly evaluated and updated by referring the forums of foreign language translation agencies, translation events on those forums, popular journals and magazines to ensure that students learn at the leading edge of this field. Focusing translations as a major subject in a language course reinforces the basic principles of translation and of logical progression. It gives students a chance to strengthen their passive language by reinforcing their vocabulary in different areas, adding a special emphasis on style, register, and the specific demands of certain text categories. They research corresponding idiomatic expressions in both languages and review and compare the grammatical structures of both the active and passive languages in order to avoid the pitfalls of literal translation. Discussions of the theory of translation emerge naturally in this context.
