COLLABORATIVE TRANSLATION IN THE WEB 2.0 ERA

The emergence of Web 2.0 technologies has significantly transformed the field of written translation, shifting it from an individual, linear activity to a collaborative and interactive process. Collaborative translation refers to translation practices in which multiple participants—often geographically dispersed—work together through online platforms to produce, revise, and evaluate translated texts. This article explores how Web 2.0 tools such as wikis, cloud-based computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, and crowdsourcing platforms have reshaped translation workflows, redefined the role of translators, and influenced translation quality. While collaborative translation offers advantages such as increased efficiency, knowledge sharing, and community feedback, it also raises challenges related to quality control, authorship, and professional ethics. The article concludes by highlighting the growing importance of collaborative competence in contemporary translation practice.Web 2.0技术的兴起极大地重塑了笔译领域，将其从单一的线性工作转变为协作式、交互式的流程。协作式翻译（Collaborative translation）指的是由多名参与者（通常地域分散）通过在线平台协同开展翻译文本的创作、修订与评估的翻译实践活动。本文探讨了维基（wikis）、云辅助翻译（Computer-Assisted Translation, CAT）工具以及众包平台等Web 2.0技术工具，如何重塑翻译工作流程、重新定义译者角色，并对翻译质量产生影响。尽管协作式翻译具备提升效率、促进知识共享与获取社群反馈等优势，但也带来了与质量管控、作者归属及职业道德相关的诸多挑战。本文最后强调了协作能力在当代翻译实践中日益重要的地位。
