Book Description
For the discourse of localization, translation is often "just a language problem". For translation theorists, localization introduces fancy words but nothing essentially new. Both views are probably right, but only to an extent. This book sets up a dialogue across those differences. Is there anything that translation theory can gain from localization? Can localization theory learn anything from the history and complexity of translation? To address those questions, both terms are placed within a more general frame, that of text transfer. Texts are distributed in time and space; localization and translation respond differently to those movements; their relative virtues are thus brought out on common ground. Anthony Pym here reviews not only key problems in translation theory, but also critical concepts such as cultural resistance, variable transaction costs, segmentation of the labour market, and the dehumanization of technical discourse. The book closes with a plea for the humanizing virtues of translation, over and above the efficiencies of localization.

Book Description
This book offers a systematic and comprehensive account of translation competence (TC), reflecting on its different models and conceptualisations throughout its development and outlining future directions for both theory and practice. The volume charts the evolution of TC in line with related findings in empirical product- and process-oriented research. In critically examining the different models of translation competence, Quinci explores a wide range of connected issues of ongoing debate within Translation Studies, including translation quality, the revision process, and translator self-assessment. The second section of the book investigates these themes at work in the design, conduct, and results of an award-winning longitudinal research project which analysed the acquisition and development of TC in a sample group of translation trainees and professional translators. The volume builds on the outcomes of this project to offer practical activities for translator education, informed by theory and empirical research, toward encouraging continued reflection and new directions for translation competence research and practice. This book will be of interest to scholars in Translation Studies, as well as translation trainees and active translation professionals.

Book Description
The Evolving Curriculum in Interpreter and Translator Education: Stakeholder perspectives and voices examines forces driving curriculum design, implementation and reform in academic programs that prepare interpreters and translators for employment in the public and private sectors. The evolution of the translating and interpreting professions and changes in teaching practices in higher education have led to fundamental shifts in how translating and interpreting knowledge, skills and abilities are acquired in academic settings. Changing conceptualizations of curricula, processes of innovation and reform, technology, refinement of teaching methodologies specific to translating and interpreting, and the emergence of collaborative institutional networks are examples of developments shaping curricula. Written by noted stakeholders from both employer organizations and academic programs in many regions of the world, the timely and useful contributions in this comprehensive, international volume describe the impact of such forces on the conceptual foundations and frameworks of interpreter and translator education.

Book Description
Questo volume raccoglie i risultati di ricerche sulla traduzione svolte nel corso di circa due decenni. I primi tre capitoli espongono il quadro teorico e i principali concetti e strumenti analitici che informano i capitoli che seguono. L’impostazione traduttologica, essenzialmente target-oriented, propone una visione che combina alcuni aspetti della prospettiva descrittivista con altri di quella funzionalista, ponendo l’accento sugli elementi comuni tra i due approcci. Questa visione si concretizza nella categorizzazione delle traduzioni come un fuzzy set, cioè come un insieme aperto e fluido che accoglie al suo interno, con un grado diverso di appartenenza, testi trasposti attraverso diversi sistemi linguistici e semiotici con un rapporto variabile con il testo fonte. Accanto a questa idea innovativa, nel volume vengono avanzate per la prima volta altre proposte, come il suggerimento di considerare la lingua tradotta come un vero e proprio sotto-sistema all’interno del diasistema della lingua ricevente e l’ipotesi che l’applicazione della così detta ‘Teoria del Monitor’, mutuata dalla glottodidattica, possa servire a spiegare perché il testo tradotto presenta caratteristiche peculiari ‘universali’, indipendenti dalla coppia di lingue coinvolte. I restanti capitoli sono costituiti da saggi di carattere applicativo in alcuni casi già pubblicati in volumi o riviste, in questa sede aggiornati, rielaborati e riorganizzati. Nel capitolo finale l’attenzione si sposta sul grande tema delle traduzione dei testi specialistici, particolarmente cruciale nel mondo contemporaneo.

Book Description
How can students be empowered to communicate professionally – as translators, journalists and CCOs? How can professionals engaged in crucial language interactions do the same – pilots, nurses, lawyers and many others? This volume gives answers to these questions, providing insights into critical situations and good practices from many years of research and teaching in a practice-oriented, research driven School of Applied Linguistics.

Book Description
Specialised translation has received very little attention from academic researchers, but in fact accounts for the bulk of professional translation on a global scale and is taught in a growing number of university-level translation programmes. This book aims to provide three things. Firstly, it offers a description of what makes the approach to specialised translation distinctive from wider-ranging approaches to Translation Studies adopted by translation scholars and applied linguists. Secondly, unlike the traditional approach to specialised translation, this book explores a perspective on specialised translation that is much less focused on terminology and more on the function and reception of specialised (translated) texts. Finally, the author outlines a professionally-oriented hands-on approach to the teaching of specialised translation resulting from many years of teaching it to MA students. The book will be of interest to Translation Studies students and scholars, as well as professional translators who are interested in the theory on which their activity is based.
