Translation is living through a period of revolutionary
upheaval. The effects of digital technology and the internet on
translation are continuous, widespread and profound. From automatic
online translation services to the rise of crowdsourced translation
and the proliferation of translation Apps for smartphones, the
translation revolution is everywhere. The implications for human
languages, cultures and society of this revolution are radical and
far-reaching. In the Information Age that is the Translation Age,
new ways of talking and thinking about translation which take full
account of the dramatic changes in the digital sphere are urgently
required.
Michael Cronin examines the role of translation with regard to
the debates around emerging digital technologies and analyses their
social, cultural and political consequences, guiding readers
through the beginnings of translation's engagement with technology,
and through to the key issues that exist today.
With links to many areas of study, "Translation in the Digital
Age "is a vital read for students of modern languages, translation
studies, cultural studies and applied linguistics.
