Translating and interpreting in crises is emotionally and
cognitively demanding, with crisis communication in intercultural
and multilingual disaster settings relying on a multitude of
cross-cultural mediators and ever-emerging new technologies. This
volume explores the challenges and demands involved in translating
crises and the ways in which people, technologies and organisations
look for effective, impactful solutions to the communicative
problems. Problematising the major issues, but also providing
solutions and recommendations, chapters reflect on and evaluate the
role of translation and interpreting in crisis settings. Covering a
diverse range of situations from across the globe, such as health
emergencies, severe weather events, earthquakes, terrorist attacks,
conflicts, and mass migration, this volume analyses practices and
investigates the effectiveness of current approaches and
communication strategies. The book considers perspectives, from
interpreting specialists, educators, emergency doctors, healthcare
professionals, psychologists, and members of key NGOs, to reflect
the complex and multifaceted nature of crisis communication.
Placing an emphasis on lessons learnt and innovative solutions,
Translating Crises points the way towards more effective
multilingual emergency communication in future crises.
