Abstract

This paper introduces user-generated translation and examines the reasons for its emergence including the advent of new media technology, a new crowdsourcing business model for translating the user-generated content, and professional translators’ lack of sufficient knowledge of the online culture. Meanwhile, professional translators all over the world have been expressing their concerns on the ethical problems and the translation quality resulting from the new business model, which may negatively impact the already-suffering industry. Therefore, this study will also compare and contrast the user-generated translation and professional translation to determine whether the former poses a threat to the latter.
