Özet:

The deep traces left by mechanization in our life made many professions less popular or forced these professions to catch up with technological progress. Also, mechanization caused some professions to get lost in the ashes of history or to be experted in certain areas. With mechanization, new professions broke through and the works which used to be carried out by many people in the past can be accomplished more easily by few machines. Undoubtedly, mechanization brought less man power and energy in various industries. In the existing study, positive and negative effects of technological developments on translation concept and translator profession will be discussed. Therefore, the current paper explores the effects of technological developments on translator-translator communication, translator- commisioner communication, translators’ life style, academic translation education and translators’ income and translators’ legal rights especially in the context of Turkey.
