Rezensionen

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. Jiménez-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.
