Translation, interpreting and other forms of communication support
within public sector settings constitute a field which deals, quite
literally, with matters of life and death. Overshadowed for many
years by interpreting and translating in other domains, public
sector interpreting and translating has received growing attention
in recent years, with increasingly mobile populations and human
rights, diversity and equality legislation shining the spotlight on
the need for quality provision across an increasing range and
volume of activities. Interpreting and Translating in Public
Service Settings offers a collection of analytically-grounded
essays that provide new insights into the reality of the
interaction in public sector settings and into the roles and
positioning of the participants by challenging existing models and
paradigms. Issues of local need, but with global resonance, are
addressed, and current reality is set against plans for the future.
The triad of participants (interpreter/translator, public sector
professional and client) is investigated, as are aspects of
pedagogy, policy and practice. Empirical data supports the study of
topics related to written, spoken and signed activities in a
variety of professional settings. Bringing together academics and
practitioners from different countries in order to explore the
multidisciplinary dimension of the subject, this collection should
serve as a valuable reference tool, not only for academics and
students of public sector interpreting and translating, but also
for practising linguists, providers of language services and policy
makers.
