Abstract:

Chiew Kin Quah draws on years of academic and professional experience toprovide an account of translation technology, its applications andcapabilities. Major developments from North America, Europe and Asia aredescribed, including developments in uses and users of the technology. Thebook is essential for students on translating courses and professionaltranslators wishing to be brought up-to-date or to prepare for a newaspect of their work. With its emphasis on the role of the translator bothas user of and developer of these new tools, needing to understand boththe process of design and the human aspects of translating, it iscomplementary to other books which concentrate on the computational andtechnical processing aspects of the systems.

'A clear and comprehensive introduction to a complex and fast-moving fieldwhich is central to the activity of translation in the 21st century. Thisup-to-date account is required reading for trainees, practitioners andtheorists.' - Professor Jenny Williams, Head of the School of AppliedLanguage and Intercultural Studies, Dublin City University, Republic ofIreland
