Although translation students at the college of Languages and Translation in Saudi Arabia take two courses in computer applications in translation, these two courses are inadequate in preparing translation graduates for the translation job market. Results of an interview questionnaire have showed that the content of these courses is inadequate. In the introductory course, students are introduced to the components of computers, computer hardware and they are trained to use the MS WORD, POWERPOINT and EXCEL programs. In the advanced course, the students are introduced to theoretical issues in machine translation. They never have a chance to use machine translation systems. In order for the students to be able to meet the demands of the translation labor market in the 21st century, they need to practice using advance translation software such as Trados and speech recognition software. They need to be introduced to online specialized dictionaries and terminology databanks, online resources, online translation tools, translation directories, translation associations, translation journals online translation job sites, and how to communicate with other translators in other parts of the world.
