Students’ Translations and the Use of Online-Resources: Do Online Resources Contribute Iranian Trainee Translators?

The present empirical research aims at figuring out the impacts of online resources especially translation online softwares and internet search engines on the Iranian university students. Fifty translation students from the University of Isfahan were randomly selected as the subjects of this paper. They were asked to answer the questionnaire (close-ended survey) (20 questions). The findings revealed that firstly, translation students more or less were depended on online resources particularly the electronic ones in the course of translation. The reason to use such resources is their feasibility rather than their accuracy. Secondly, with the help of online resources particularly translation online softwares, translation quality is enhanced. Finally, I hope that this research project will fill the chasm between the application of online resources and practical translation, since this significant subject has not received much attention by the Iranian universities.
