Human Issues in Translation Technology

This state-of-the-art volume looks at translation technologies from the point of view of the humans users ¿ as trainee, professional or volunteer translators, or as end users of translations produced by machines. Covering technologies from machine translation to online collaborative platforms and practices from `traditional¿ translation to crowdsourced translation and subtitling, this volume takes a critical stance, questioning both utopian and dystopian visions of translation technology. The authors provide empirical evidence of what the technologization of the workplace means to translators, and propose ideas on how technologies can better serve translators and end-users of translations.
