Based on thorough and extensive research, this book examines in
detail traditional status signals in the translation profession. It
provides case studies of eight European and non-European countries,
with further chapters on sociological and economic modelling, and
goes on to identify a number of policy options and make
recommendations on rectifying problem areas.
There are strong indications that traditional mechanisms of
signalling the status of translators are no longer functioning as
they should, and that new online mechanisms are turning status into
a readily available commodity. Despite demonstrating that some of
the traditional status signals do still function relatively well,
the book nevertheless finds that others appear to be failing for
various reasons, and that this has resulted in a degree of market
disorder. Such circumstances may cause good translators to leave
the market, which is clearly an undesirable situation for all
concerned.
The work was written by a team of eminent scholars in the field,
with contributions from a host of other academics and professional
translators, and includes five appendices providing very useful
information on areas of specific interest.
