Training technical communication students to work with translators

Much of the content produced by technical communicators and content developers will later be translated for users from other cultures. For example, instruction manuals, web sites, e-learning courses, software tools and their components (e.g. messages, menus, and dialog boxes) frequently need to be available in many languages and for many locales. However, good translation is only possible when the source text (the text to be translated) is written clearly and with translation in mind.
