A definitive and newly updated work of reference for the field The
scope of the encyclopedia covers all concepts in the field, and the
change technology has brought to Translation Studies A
comprehensive reference for the theory and practice of translation
technology An essential fit for teachers, students and researchers
of computer-aided translation and machine translation Contributions
from over 50 experts and scholars in the field
This book is basically an attempt to study the religious, cultural,
and political significance of Buddhism in late Ch'ing intellectual
thought through an examination of the writings of a few influential
figures like Liang Ch'i-ch'ao, K'ang Yu-wei, Chang Ping-lin, and
particularly T'an Ssu-t'ung.
Technology has revolutionized the field of translation, bringing
drastic changes to the way translation is studied and done. To an
average user, technology is simply about clicking buttons and
storing data. What we need to do is to look beyond a system's
interface to see what is at work and what should be done to make it
work more efficiently. This book is both macroscopic and
microscopic in approach: macroscopic as it adopts a holistic
orientation when outlining the development of translation
technology in the last forty years, organizing concepts in a
coherent and logical way with a theoretical framework, and
predicting what is to come in the years ahead; microscopic as it
examines in detail the five stages of technology-oriented
translation procedure and the strengths and weaknesses of the free
and paid systems available to users. The Future of Translation
Technology studies, among other issues: The Development of
Translation Technology Major Concepts in Computer-aided Translation
Functions in Computer-aided Translation Systems A Theoretical
Framework for Computer-Aided Translation Studies The Future of
Translation Technology This book is an essential read for scholars
and researchers of translational studies and computational
linguistics, and a guide to system users and professionals.
This book is a revised version of the doctoral thesis I presented
to the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of
London, in 1977. It is basically an attempt to study the religious,
cultural and political significance of Buddhism in late Ch'ing
intellectual thought through an examination of the writings of a
few influential figures like liang Ch'i-ch'ao, K'ang Yu-wei, Chang
Ping-lin, and particularly T'an Ssu-t'ung. My findings reveal that
Buddhism came to play a part in these reformers' thought as a
result of several factors: the rekindled interest in Buddhism
brought about through the efforts of laymen such as Yang Wen-hui,
the need to find a counter-balance to Christianity, the search for
a new unifying ideology for China as Confucianism crumbled before
the challenge from the West, and the immense potentiality of
Buddhism to cater for the intellectuals' diverse cultural and
political purposes. The masterpiece of T'an Ssu-t'ung, entitled An
Exposition of Benevolence (Jen-hsiieh), is chosen here to exemplify
the use of Buddhism in late Ch'ing political thought. Buddhism not
only served as the all-embracing school of his eclectic synthesis,
it also formed the foundation of the major concepts in the
treatise, and was closely related to his radical thinking.

Is the bilingual dictionary really the translator s best friend? Or
is it the case that all translators hate all dictionaries? The
truth probably lies half-way. It is difficult to verify anyway, as
the literature on the subject(s) is limited, not helped by the fact
that Lexicography and Translation have stood apart for decades
despite their commonality of purpose. Here is a volume, based on
the proceedings of a successful conference at Hong Kong, that may
at last provide some answers."
