Abstract

Aligning translation training with the requirements of the labor market is of paramount importance; especially after the advent of Artificial intelligence (AI) and its sweeping impact on a wide array of domains including the translation sector. This study investigates the career paths of translation graduates as well as their perceptions towards translation training and translation market in Algeria. It adopts a mixed-methods approach to collect data from a sample of 66 translation graduates from various Algerian universities. It concluded that the public sector attracts more translation graduates than the private sector with most participants working as language educators or translators. The translation market in Algeria was deemed by participants as weak in terms of job opportunities and remuneration, therefore recommendations were provided to adjust the translation training with the needs of the labor market, improve the translation status and adopt a national policy to enhance the translation profession in Algeria.
