Abstract

Translator training implies the use of procedures and tools that allow students to become familiar with professional contexts. Specialised open source software includes professional quality tools and procedures accessible to academic institutions and distance students working at home. Authentic projects using open source software and crowdsourcing procedures are indispensable resources in translator training.
