Translation and Technology (Paperback)

Chiew Kin Quah draws on years of academic and professional experience to provide an account of translation technology, its applications and capabilities. Major developments from North America, Europe and Asia are described, including developments in uses and users of the technology. The book is essential for students on translating courses and professional translators wishing to be brought up-to-date or to prepare for a new aspect of their work. With its emphasis on the role of the translator both as user of and developer of these new tools, needing to understand both the process of design and the human aspects of translating, it is complementary to other books which concentrate on the computational and technical processing aspects of the systems. Providing an account of translation technology, its applications and capabilities, this book describes developments from North America, Europe and Asia, including developments in uses and users of the technology. Aimed at students of translating courses, it emphasises the role of the translator both as user of and developer of these tools.
