The paper deals with the cognitive activity of a translator in the context of interactions with the environment. Based on the video recordings of professional translators’ monitor screens and the corpus of student papers, the author compares and identifies effective ways to redistribute the cognitive load between a person and a machine and, more broadly, between a person and the material world. The study reveals the multi-agent and multi-object nature of the cognitive activity of a translator. It contributes to reducing the workload and saving time through the use of computer-aided tools, as well as improving the quality of translation due to cognitive-heuristic interactions between diverse specialists at the conceptual level when working with parallel texts and visual representation of the conceptual and terminological apparatus.
