Abstract

Machine translation, a product of technical growth, is advancing the field of translation. With the aid of visualization analysis techniques, this study examines the machine translation literature published in the CNKI database from 1959 to 2021 while analyzing its history, key issues, arguments, and future directions of related research. The proposal is then made that, in light of the tendency toward technological advancement, the fields of translation research and education should take on the disciplinary duties associated with the motivation for “collaborations between humans and machine and use of machines for humans.” The study also emphasizes how important it is to improve students’ technological competence, support the localization of language services, and integrate information technology into language and translation instruction.
