The literature on translation and technology has generally taken two forms: general overviews, in which the tools are described, and functional descriptions of how such technologies are used in specific projects, often with a view to improving the quality of translator training. There has been far less development of the deeper implications of technology in its cultural, ethical, political and social dimensions. In an attempt to address this imbalance, the present volume offers a collection of articles, written by leading experts in the field, that explore some of the current communication and information trends that define our contemporary world and impinge on the translation profession. The contributions have been divided into three main areas in which translation and technology come together: (1) social spheres, (2) education and training and (3) research. This volume represents a bold attempt at contextualising translation technologies and their applications within a broader cultural landscape and encourages intellectual re?ection on the crucial role played by technology in the translation profession.
