Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of online learning on translation students, focusing on the skills they developed and their adaptation process during the post-pandemic period. It contributes to the existing body of research in
translator training by offering new insights into students’ experiences with online learning throughout the COVID-19
pandemic and its aftermath (R. Kasperė, 2021; E. Perez, S. Hodáková, 2021; M. Seresi, R. Eszenyi, E. Robin,
2021; N. Burkšaitienė, 2023). A questionnaire consisting of seventeen questions was administered to 15 third-year
undergraduate students enrolled in the Translation and Interpreting programme at the Department of Translation,
Interpretation, and Applied Linguistics, Moldova State University. The survey was designed to examine students’
experiences and attitudes during and after the pandemic, assess their satisfaction with the online teaching and learning process, and gather perspectives on the skills they acquired, along with feedback on the educational experience
in the post-pandemic context.
Keywords: translator training, learning contexts, translation and interpreting skills, online learning.
