This paper explores a web-based translation workshop platform with local economic characteristics. This translation workshop platform differs from other translation workshops in two aspects. For one thing, it integrates word processing, software applications, information exchange, data storage, information retrieval, customer monitoring and other functions into one. As a result, the exchange of idea among students and teachers is not confined to class but available anywhere and any time if there is an access to the Internet. For another, it accumulates translation resources (including software, information, terminology, etc.) in accordance with the field of the local economic characteristics, and attaches great importance to the construction of professional and technical translation term base so that the translation efficiency could be improved. In short, it is an improvement of traditional translation personnel cultivation and teaching mode and an application of latest network technologies in translation teaching, which gives some implications for other application-oriented talents cultivation.
