Abstract
There has already been the ongoing trend in the shift of focus in specialized
translator training from domain-specific knowledge training to an all-round
competence development. Based on the analysis of the current problem with the
specialized translator training with subject knowledge, this study is to propose
suggestions as to how translators deal with the problem of lacking in subject
knowledge. Provided in this paper is the detailed illustrations of four methods of selfenriched translator training with specialized subject knowledge, i.e. self-training in
efficient subject knowledge management, self-training for efficient reading, selftraining to reuse translations in parallel corpus, self-training to use post-editing
machine translations. This study aims to contribute to the future specialized translator
training by serving as a reference source or even an inclusion as component parts in
these training programs.
