The fourth edition builds further on linguistic theory and the literature on ethics to guide trainee translators through key decision-making processes. Each chapter explains core concepts, identifies potential translation challenges and offers a range of strategies for addressing them, supported by authentic examples from various languages and genres.
Building on its established foundation, this edition breaks new ground by incorporating contemporary translation challenges across digital platforms, including social media, websites and patient information materials, offering fresh perspectives on translating popular science, tourism content and museum documentation. It provides new insights into recent technological advances and their impact on the profession and includes a section on ethics of care in translation and interpretation practice.
This comprehensive guide, now written by Mona Baker and Henry Jones, combines theoretical frameworks with practical examples, making it an essential resource and coursebook for both students and practising translators navigating today's diverse linguistic landscape.

"In Other Words remains essential reading for every translator teacher. This revised fourth edition expands into new text genres, acknowledges the growing importance of language technologies in the profession, and highlights the ethics of care - underscoring the translator's responsibility toward others and reaffirming the book's status as a cornerstone work in translator education."Nike K. Pokorn, University of Ljubljana
"The world of translation keeps evolving, and In Other Words is keeping pace. This new edition seamlessly blends the timeless foundational elements of previous editions with thoughtful guidance on key challenges facing the translation profession today, including new text types, new technologies, and new ethical considerations. The result: a classic... for the contemporary student!"
Lynne Bowker, Universite Laval
"In an update of this seminal book, Mona Baker and Henry Jones have revised each chapter, adding new examples, suggested readings and references, taking account of the contemporary ubiquity of machine translation in the text and exercises. This continues to be a key text in Translation Studies."
Joss Moorkens, Dublin City University

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
