This book covers the history of the theory and practice of
translation from Cicero to the digital age. It examines all major
processes of translation, offers critical accounts of current
research, and compares competing theoretical perspectives. It
considers all kinds of translation from sacred texts, poetry,
fiction, and sign language to remote, consecutive, and simultaneous
interpretation in legal, diplomatic, and commercial contexts. The
two opening parts of the book consider the history of translation
theory and central concepts in the study of translation. Parts III,
IV, and V cover the written text, the interpretation of speech and
sign language, and the role of translation in mixed-mode and
multimedia contexts. Part VI considers the contributions and
challenges of information technology including the uses and
limitations of machine technology. The final part looks at the
teaching and training of translators and interpreters. The book
concludes with a comprehensive bibliography and index. Designed as
a state-of-the-art reference and practical guide the book will
serve the needs of all those involved in translation, whether as
professional translators and interpreters, researchers in
translation studies and allied disciplines, or as undergraduate or
postgraduate students. This is, in sum, an essential work in a
vibrant, fast-moving, and fascinating field.
