About this book
Reviews
“This book is a good guide to understand how translation is being reshaped as a result of the evolution of social media. Newcomers, translation students and researchers who are not familiar with the area will be able to use it as a map to understand the ramifications of the issues being discussed. Experts in the area will also find thought-provoking pieces of information and advice.” (David Orrego-Carmona, The Journal of Specialised Translation, Issue 29, January, 2018)
“I would recommend this volume to anyone interested in contemporary digital culture. To those well-versed in Translation Studies research areas, familiar concepts such as crowdsourcing and collaborative translation are presented sufficiently succinctly so as not to detract from the overall purpose of the book.” (Vedrana Čemerin, New Voices in Translation Studies, Vol. 19, 2018)
