  abstract  = {The rapid ascent of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and Large Language Models (LLMs) has placed the translation profession at a critical juncture, fueling anxieties regarding automation and the erosion of traditional expertise. This paper proposes a paradigm shift from language-centric models toward "Organizational Translation Competence" (OTC). While traditional competence focuses on linguistic transfer, OTC emphasizes the individual’s capacity to architect and manage complex translation ecosystems. By integrating business management, quality assurance, terminology management, and AI literacy, OTC reframes the translator as a strategic professional capable of optimizing workflows and mitigating technological risks. Ultimately, this framework offers a pathway for human-machine collaboration, repositioning translators as essential architects of global communication in an automated era.},
