Master Langues Etrangeres Appliquees — Technologies de la Traduction

Technologies de la Traduction is a specialization within the Master Langues Etrangeres Appliquees at Université de Lorraine in Metz, France, focused on translation technology. This discipline sits at the intersection of applied linguistics and technology, studying how translation is carried out with the support of computer-assisted tools, terminology databases, and machine translation systems. Students typically study translation theory and practice across working languages, terminology management, and the software and technical tools used in professional translation and localization work. Coursework often covers computer-assisted translation systems, quality control in translation workflows, and the technical processes involved in adapting content across languages for different industries and markets. The discipline also addresses how translation technology continues to change professional practice, requiring translators to combine strong language skills with technical proficiency. Graduates in this field typically work as professional translators, localization specialists, terminology managers, or technical project coordinators within translation agencies, multinational companies, or technology firms handling multilingual content. Some move into roles managing translation technology systems or quality assurance for language services. This is a two-year master's program, taught in French, beginning in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. It suits students with strong foreign language skills who are also interested in the technical and technological dimension of professional translation work in an increasingly digital language services industry.
