Translation technologies are moulded by and impact upon humans in
all sorts of ways. This state-of-the-art volume looks at
translation technologies from the point of view of the human users
- as trainee, professional or volunteer translators, or as end
users of translations produced by machines. Covering technologies
from machine translation to online collaborative platforms, and
practices from 'traditional' translation to crowdsourced
translation and subtitling, this volume takes a critical stance,
questioning both utopian and dystopian visions of translation
technology. In eight chapters, the authors propose ideas on how
technologies can better serve translators and end users of
translations. The first four chapters explore how translators - in
various contexts and with widely differing profiles - use and feel
about translation technologies as they currently stand, while the
second four chapters focus on the future: on anticipating needs,
identifying emerging possibilities, and defining interventions that
can help to shape translation practice and research. Drawing on a
range of theories from cognitive to social and psychological, and
with empirical evidence of what the technologization of the
workplace means to translators, Human Issues in Translation
Technology is key reading for all those involved in translation and
technology, translation theory and translation research methods.
