“The present volume fills the research gap of translation studies by providing its readers with interdisciplinary theoretical groundwork and refreshing examples from real-life interlingual communications online. ... as the book is intended to reach a wide array of readers from students who are interested in this field to professional translators and educators, it has given a lengthy introduction to the background knowledges of terminologies and some general ecologies of Web 2.0.” (Zhang Xiaoyu, Babel, Vol. 65 (3), 2019)
“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)
