Full title :Conducting research in translation technologies / edited by Pilar Sánchez-Gijón, Olga Torres-Hostench, and Bartolomé Mesa-Lao.

Summary

The literature on translation and technology has generally taken two forms: general overviews, in which the tools are described, and functional descriptions of how such tools and technologies are implemented in specific projects, often with a view to improving the quality of translator training. There has been far less development of the deeper implications of technology in its cultural, ethical, political and social dimensions. In an attempt to address this imbalance, the present volume offers a collection of articles, written by leading experts in the field, that explore some of the current communicational and informational trends that are defining our contemporary world and impinging on the translation profession. The contributions have been divided into three main areas in which translation and technology come together: (1) social spheres, (2) education and training and (3) research. This volume represents a bold attempt at contextualizing translation technologies and their applications within a broader cultural landscape and encourages intellectual reflection on the crucial role played by technology in the translation profession.

«This is a good volume that is worth having on the library shelves as it offers a large variety of approaches to the understanding of human–computer interaction in the context of translation as well as offering some practical examples for teaching and researching in this area.» (The Year’s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory, 24/2016).
