PROBLEMS IN SYNCHRONIC TRANSLATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE AND THEIR SOLUTIONS: PROMOTING VR TECH LABS FOR SYNCHRONIC TRANSLATION

In the digital age, synchronic translation faces a range of challenges, including cognitive overload, linguistic complexity, and the need for rapid decision-making in high-pressure environments. This paper explores the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) technology as a solution to these challenges by analyzing its implementation in four countries—Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and the United States. Through comparative analysis, the study demonstrates how VR enhances synchronic translation training by providing immersive, real-world simulations. The findings suggest that VR tech labs offer a transformative approach to improving synchronic translation performance and skills.
