A Bibliometric Survey of Technology-Integrated Translation Education Research

Research on technology-integrated translation education has garnered significant attention from scholars, resulting in a growing body of literature. To identify current trends, key themes, leading contributors, and emerging areas in this field, we used CiteSpace to analyze 670 publications from the Scopus database between 2014 and 2025. The findings reveal that: (1) Publications on technology-integrated translation education have steadily increased over recent decades, with significant growth in recent years. (2) The research themes can be categorized into four main areas: translation technology and tools, translation teaching practices, information literacy in translation education, and ethical issues related to translation technology. (3) There is a noticeable lack of collaboration both across academic institutions and among authors within the field. (4) Research hotspots and frontiers in translation education are increasingly focusing on human-centeredness in translator training. Future research should prioritize training translators to maintain agency in AI-assisted workflows, especially for high-cognitive tasks such as legal, medical, and literary translation, with an emphasis on developing skills for accuracy, ethical responsibility, cultural sensitivity, and empathy in these areas. Such an overview is essential for clarifying current research trajectories in technology-enhanced translation education and for providing a modest scholarly reference to support pedagogical practice.
