Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to show how the platforms provided by social media affect the work of translators and what their impact is on the development of the translation society. After a brief presentation of the information revolution, the role of the media sphere and social media will be discussed, and then the impact of the latter on the professional life of the practitioners of each profession will be examined. Just as in the case of other professions, the emergence of social media played an important role in the translation profession. Social media has greatly influenced the development of professional communication and has also transformed the framework of professional cooperation. Our goal is to examine what phenomena can be observed in relation to the everyday work of translators based on the activities of the professional groups operating on Facebook. We take a close look at what types of posts the members of Facebook professional groups publish and to what extent these posts shape the way the profession is practised.
