Translating as a Social Activity

Under the theme of community translation as a social activity and its possible consequences, this volume consolidates the developments to date and covers the latest initiatives while addressing pertinent issues arising from the blurred boundary between professionals and nonprofessionals. Arguing that community translation is far too complex a phenomenon to be treated simply as a dilettante, anti-professional movement, it portends far-reaching implications for translators and translation trainers alike through dynamically changing work environments and points to new and exciting areas of research in translation studies.
