Description

This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the field of translation for students of other disciplines and readers who are not translators. It provides students outside the translation profession with a greater awareness of, and appreciation for, what goes into translation. Providing readers with tools for their own personal translation-related needs, this book encourages an ethical approach to translation and offers an insight into translation as a possible career.

This textbook covers foundational concepts; key figures, groups, and events; tools and resources for non-professional translation tasks; and the types of translation that non-translators are liable to encounter. Each chapter includes practical activities, annotated further reading, and summaries of key points suitable for use in classrooms, online teaching, or self-study. There is also a glossary of key terms.

De-mystifying Translation: Introducing Translation to Non-translators is the ideal text for any non-specialist taking a course on translation and for anyone interested in learning more about the field of translation and translation studies.

Reviews

As with her seminal work on Machine Translation for professional outside the field, Lynne Bowker masterfully bridges the gap between Translation Studies as a discipline and society at large. In our globalized world, this is a much-needed resource for all those who regularly use, interact or make decisions about translations, such as teachers, scholars, language students, information and content specialists, technical writers, etc.

Miguel A. Jimenez-Crespo, Rutgers University, USA

In De-mystifying Translation Lynne Bowker offers a comprehensive, insightful, and incredibly rich overview of all key aspects of translation, ranging from core theoretical concepts like 'equivalence' and 'fidelity' to the newest technological developments in computer-assisted and machine translation and emerging fields of practice such as fansubbing and video game localization. Written in clear and accessible language, and offering thought-provoking exercises and topics for discussion as well as selected further readings from major scholars, this book is an excellent starting place for anyone interested in learning more about the fascinating world of translation.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
