We are living in the era of globalization and technology which requires from the professional translator to pursue his training and reinforce his dynamism and creativity. He has to face increased competition, in the labor market, from language experts taking as the starting point the idea that the learner-translator is bound to handle the translation process and management alike. Our study aims at identifying the approach of teaching the specialized language and those related new professions including: the documentalist, the reviser, the translator-localizer, the engineer translator and the copywriter which we think should be integrated into the learner-translator training process. Our approach is purely professional seeking to shed light on professions and occupations in the domain of translation which the phenomenon of globalization and the vocational modernization impose since the majority of specialists are not aware of these trades barely integrated in the training programme of the learner translator.
