TRANS 2026

<jats:p>This volume contains abstracts of conference papers by the university professors in the field of applied and theoretical translation studies and linguistics, as well as by translators and interlingual mediators from the European Parliament. The contributions in English and German address the use of artificial intelligence in various fields of language-related professional practice, particularly in translation, proofreading and editing, terminology management, language consulting, and linguistic research. The authors present contemporary tools based on large language models and discuss their potential for automating routine tasks, analysing textual data, and supporting the production of high-quality language content. The contributions also highlight issues of reliability, terminological consistency, ethical responsibility, and data protection in the use of artificial intelligence within the process of interlingual transfer. Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly becoming an important supportive element of interlingual mediation; however, its effective and responsible use requires the active involvement, critical judgement, and a high level of professional expertise on the part of language professionals.</jats:p>
