Resumen

Corpus studies have become an undisputed aid for the evolution of translation, transferring knowledge from the academia to develop tools that have invaluably helped the profession. Nevertheless, the demands of the market require translators to improve their efficiency in order to adapt to its hectic pace. The aim of this paper is to present a possible solution through the use of corpus-based tools that are usually neglected in translation: writing aids. First, the reality of the translation market will be studied to understand the current context and translators’ needs. Then, we will analyze some of the existing tools derived from corpus studies available for translators, both the most and less usual. Finally, we will focus on a booming sector of the market, that of oenology, to exemplify how one of the less typical tools, the writing generator, may be helpful for translators in terms of cost, time, and quality given the current demands.
